£240,000 for penis plate


A leading museum has added a bawdy 16th century work of art to its collection, depicting a human head made up of small images of penises. The work - affectionately known as "dickhead" - was bought for almost a quarter of a million pounds for the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.

After refusing many pleas to run for governor, I have reconsidered and now enter the race as an unofficial write-in candidate. After all, why shd I remain the ONLY nut in California who ain't running?

Goldfish a threat in the wild


An illegal gang of goldfish is hanging out in the old farm pond on the University of Maine at Augusta campus.

"I haven't got a clue how they got in. I'd say there's probably more than a couple of hundred in there," said Peter St. Michael, director of the school's buildings and grounds.

The small man-made pond —roughly 50-feet by 50-feet — is also home to hornpout, golden shiners and large-mouthed bass. The latter species was introduced in July by the state Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife.

Bush muß weg!


Appell eines Bürgers an einen General in Kriegszeiten (an der Heimatfront). Ein offener Brief an Wesley Clark.

Lieber General Wesley Clark,

ich will Ihnen schon seit längerem schreiben. Zwei Tage nach der Oscar-Verleihung fühlte ich mich allein und etwas bestürzt vom Ausmaß des Hasses, der mir entgegenschlug, weil ich gewagt hatte, darauf hinzuweisen, daß wir mit „fiktiven Gründen“ in einen Krieg geführt worden waren. In diesem Moment riskierte ein Mann etwas und eilte im nationalen Fernsehen zu meiner Verteidigung.
