The Mechanical Contrivium Has this to say about Cleek:

Once you have this:

President Bush did a town hall-type appearance in Louisville, Kentucky today. He was unbelievably good, as was the audience. You can read it all here. Please, please do. Here are a few excerpts, but they can't begin to capture the sincerity and the compelling logic that President Bush put forward.

...

George W. Bush is Churchill's heir in our century.

...and this:

It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can't get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile.

How long till we get this?

The Eagle_Fire Garfield Randomizer shows three randomly-chosen cells from Garfield comics. The results sometimes read like they've been translated to and from another language - and the punch line didn't survive. Sometimes they are so disjointed that it's like a little Surrealist play. And sometimes they feel like Doonsebury - maybe there's a joke there, but I just don't see it.

It's fun. But I still prefer Savage Chickens.

Bush: 'If some tinhorn terrorist wants me, tell him to come and get me! I'll be at home! Waiting for the bastard!'

Secret Service chief: 'But Mr. President . . .'

Bush: 'Try Commander-in-Chief. Whose present command is: Take the President home!'

Arrggg! Defective Yeti linked to Grow Cube, and I wasted an hour.

It's a puzzle game. Your task is to find out how the various items interacts with the world, and add them to the Cube in the correct order. It's hard.

Behold the horror of this bill, currently before the Missouri State Senate SB763:

SB-763: This act prohibits any grocery store or convenience store from selling individually packaged beer or beer that is refrigerated below 60 degrees on the premises. The Supervisor of the Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control may suspend or revoke a license for any violation of this provision.

The goal is to reduce drunk driving. Apparently, the idea is that nobody will want to drink warm beer from the store, so they'll have to take it home and spend an hour waiting for it to get cold, first.

Fine. But sometimes you buy a six-pack, take it home, and want a beer straightaway - you don't want to wait an hour for it to get cold. And just think of what that would do to the traditional Beer Run!
