| Thursday Feb 19, 2004 | Fifteen billion dollars seems like a lot of money. It's more money than most of us will earn in this lifetime, unless your name ends in 'Airways'. But, what if an entrepreneur named Tom MacDonald (not the guy with the farm) took a lesson from Karyn Bosnak, best known as the girl who convinced more than 10,000 complete strangers to pay for her pointy-toed Pradas, and asked each resident of California to send him just $1.21 every day for a year? Once he convinces each of the state's 34 million residents that his fund is not a pyramid scheme or scam and to forgo their daily fair trade-certified tall coffee at Starbucks in favor of fiscal responsibility, he could collect a staggering $15 billion to pay off the $15 billion bond proposed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger

studies show
that it's completely ineffective, the
WTO
has decided to
disband?
-- Just kidding. The
WTO
says rumors of its
disbanding
are
just
a
trick.
Okay, but those studies...

| Monday Apr 29, 2002 | Government is funny! YourCongress.com is a rich source of information about everything from classic Jim Traficant quotes (the man responsible for the most repetitions of the phrase "beam me up" in Congress) to Congressional haiku. Also notable: rankings of power among the members of Congress.

| Friday Jul 6, 2001 | The Feds (well, the Centers for Disease Control) have really been doing their job. Look at state-by-state leading causes of death. . Similarly, try to find your favorite Sexually Transmitted Disease in the state of your choice (click on "anonymous user" to search by state). It takes a little while to construct the queries, but it still makes you wonder why "Homicide and Legal intervention" is so popular in Texas (81% of those homicides -- 1,570 between 1995 and 1998 -- are firearm-related deaths) when George W. Bush was Governor, and suicide is a favorite in Minnesota as Jesse Ventura takes charge. (These last few links are direct database queries and may take a full minute or two). To see a glorious selection of interesting disease- and death-related queries, go to the CDC WONDER selection page. Select "anonymous user," then go nuts. to Government by keiths |

| Monday Jan 22, 2001 | So you promised to move to Canada
if Bush
won. Unlike your
friends, you actually meant it.
Unfortunately, they don't let just anybody in. They have
standards.
Even worse, there are a bunch of people who
don't want you at all.
Good luck! to Government by magus |
| Wednesday Jan 17, 2001 | While you've seen the types of things the Center For Disease
Control does via the media, you probably
didn't know that an effort has been made to educate children on tough subjects, like
rabies and
birth defects. In fact, the
CDC is so concerned about what children know with regard to their mission that they've
developed infectious diseases
trading cards.
Some of the best include
Anthrax,
Mumps,
Pink Eye, and
Small Pox.

| Monday Dec 25, 2000 | When President Reagan challenged Mikhail Gorbachev to 'tear down this wall' in a historic speech at the Brandenburg Gate in West Berlin in June 1987, I doubt he realized the consequences that would follow from the end of the Cold War. I wonder what he'd think of the latest mission for the folks at the North American Aerospace Defense Command, better known to most of us as NORAD since the 1983 movie "WarGames" gave us an inside look at the happenings at super-secret Cheyenne Mountain. to Government by rich |
