Cursed Frogurt

Jacques has a nifty new feature on his sidebar that serves up a random "Bushism" every hour (taken from the master list at Slate.com). Whoa, I thought. Is Slate serving up an RSS feed of Bushisms? Did Jacques build some sort of custom HTML scraper tool in his copious free time? The truth was a bit more mundane -- Jacques simply pasted all the quotes in a local flat file. Heck, even I coulda written a script to handle that. Says Jacques: "My motto is, 'Low-tech solutions for a low-tech presidency.'" Heh.

In Other News: my blogmother M'ris has done got herself her first house!

That's good!

The house is in faraway Minnesota.

That's bad.

The house is really nice, though, and they're very happy with it.

That's good!

But the house was almost taken away at the last minute by Steve the Accursed Mortgage Being.

That's bad.

They replaced Steve with Pam the New Mortgage Being.

...

That's good.

Can I go now?

Comment Syntax

The basics:

• For a new paragraph, enter two carriage returns.
• Plain URLs such as http://www.yahoo.com automatically become links.
• The system encodes all angle brackets and ampersands. For example, if you try to enter a HTML paragraph, the system displays the open tag literally as "<p>".
