Bush makes an ABC executive “want to puke.”
Hey, find me some network types who don’t hate Bush, and then get back to me.
Quite A Ride
Here’s the story of a teenager who was carried a quarter of a mile by a tornado, and lived to tell the tale:
Grazulis said 300 to 400 feet was about the limit in order to survive a tornado-toss. One 9-year-old girl and her pony survived a 1,000-foot flight in 1955, but this was the longest previously known distance, he said.
Still On The March
Here’s a pretty disturbing interview with a University of Minnesota researcher on the potential for an avian flu pandemic:

At Least It’s Not A Barking Spider
A Dutch family is being taxed for a barking doorbell:
”Last year it was a huge effort to convince the inspector that we didn’t have a dog, and now it’s happened again,” Gerrit Bruintjes was quoted as saying by RTL Nieuws.
In the Netherlands, dog owners are required to pay the ”hondenbelasting,” an infamous annual tax that is frequently evaded.
Actually, I think that “barkingspider” would be a great blog name. Or as a plural, a band name.

How About Monkeys?
Microsoft says that Vista isn’t “People Ready” yet:
Microsoft execs also talked about “Impacting People,” then they dragged out fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, who seemed very “impacted” as he sang praise for Microsoft programs. Actually, he was reading meaningless statements from a TelePrompTer. Here is one of his quotes, verbatim: “When you combine people and technology, you have a very powerful combination.” Think about that. Just let it sink in for a minute…
…No one mentioned the fact that in 1997, Microsoft held a similar event in New York City to declare that IBM’s “big iron” was dead, because Windows NT–remember Windows NT?–was going to “scale up” and replace the mainframe. I wonder if Ballmer ever feels like the guy in Groundhog Day, reliving the same press conference, over and over. I know I do.
