We Sit for Our Self-portrait (Sort of)
A marvelous little free program called WebTracer2 lets you create a map of 1,000
pages of any website. Here's what Magellan's
Log looks like.
Do’s and Don’t’s:
Understanding the New Rules of Freedom of Expression in 21st-Century America
We've assembled a useful checklist to
help you thrive under the new rules of "freedom" as promulgated by our
post-9-11 leaders.
3 Life-saving Bookmarks
Free! Free! Free!
0.000001% of human beings are interested in the ancient Chinese text known as the
Hsin Hsin Ming. For that wee minority we've
turned the little poem into a page of handy bookmarks... free of charge.
Zen Centerfold 102
You can always tell how desperate we're feeling, because when things are really
looking bleak earth-wise, we run off another of our multimedia shows for the
metaphysically horny. This one is Beethoven plus... well, you'll see. Slideshow with midi (7:07).
Myopia and Megalomania
 Lulu Dilworth responds cleverly to the growing symptoms
of a dictatorial American theocracy. Her analysis is
brutal, short, and, finally, hopeful. But don't hold your breath.

Publisher's Note:
 Against my best money-making advice, staff members persist in occasional
outbursts of what they refer to as "p----y" (even they can't call it by name). I
keep telling them: The path to penury is paved with p----y. Do they
listen? No. All I can do is alert the unwary reader with the little death's head, which in
this context means: Warning! P----y Ahead!

Ozymandias,
the Sequel
Sic transit gloria Bush (with apologies
to Shelley).
What, Me Chatter?
Chardo Blue Plains, our itinerant mystic and compulsive wanderer of Interstate
highways, makes a rare re-appearance with yet
another of his irritating sermonettes re (he says) everybody's messed-up internal
reality. Yawn.
Tasteless Jokes 102
We decided to join the rest of America in complete denial about what's going on
in Washington and waste a lot of time collecting really offensive jokes (some of which are
actually funny).
Ship Ahoy!
A staff member who
wishes to remain anonymous contributes a few lines
of navigational commentary. Or maybe not.
Blue Book: August 21, 1988 -
March 3, 1997
"Beware of planets with no sense of humor..." and 200-odd similar observations for the ages.
Je n'accuse pas:
Us and Scapegoats
 Editor Doc Cuddy, flying on little more than a wing and a prayer,
tries to figure out whose fault It is, where the
capital "i" means "the whole effing mess." Hint: it's not just
Bush, nor ExxonMobil.
