Anyone else think it possibly sends the wrong message? Click on it to read the article if you dare... Marcus L. Rowland Forgotten Futures, The Scientific Romance Role Playing Game

I was hoping for a little levity about U.K. taxes--something about providing security for a David Beckham visit or something equally light. Then reality intrudes. I haven't read the article yet, but it has been obvious for a while that "government of the people, by the people, for the people" is something less. Shallowford

And am I the only one who saw the number 39 and wondered if they have someone named Jason Trask working for them? "Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."

Should I tell them that the octopus is supposed to be purple, not yellowish orange? It's probably too late, huh? Too bad. On the other hand, those National Security types aren't usually manly enough to represent themselves by something purple. Also, am I the only one who thinks that "Office of National Intelligence" seems a bit oxymoranish? Especially because they ANNOUNCE the launch of spy satellites. Um... guys, doesn't that defeat the purpose of...uh... spying? I'm sure that's exactly what Lois does...

While distracting you with my cleavage, I'm going to plant this listening device into your vest pocket. Now, how about that drink?
