[270] Of Department of Peace, brought to you by Dennis Kucinich

Dennis Kucinich said, if he is elected as the President of the United States, he will replace the Department of Defense with a new body, the Department of Peace.
I’ve seen newspeak a lot these days but Department of Peace is giving me the real scare. In George Orwell’s 1984, there was a ministry called the Ministry of Peace.

[268] Of winter break!

YEAH!!! NO MORE CLASS, at least for another 3 weeks. However, next semester econometrics is going to be a killer.

p/s – there’s an interesting internship offer somewhere at the United Nations. I’m very much interested but I need to find a mininum of USD 2400 for accomodation in New York. Don’t think my parents would give me that money easily. Don’t think the Big Brother would give me the extra gold coins too either.

It’s really tough to find the internship that I want. =(

[267] Of NYC is as safe as A²

A quote from New York Times, via AAIO:

The city’s [New York’s] crime index, a figure adjusted for population, is on par with much smaller cities, like Ann Arbor, Mich., and ranks 194th out of 200 cities with more than 100,000 residents, making it one of the safest.

I think there’s something wrong with the statistics. But if the stats is okay, it sure does make Ann Arbor sounds safer…

[266] Of liberating South Quad

Testing ssh/sftp.With A2 covered in snow, West Quad will liberate South Quad from its ugly residents. And to AAPD, you are on my list.

p/s – a joke that I would like to share. It’s an environmentalist joke taken from alt.politics.greens

This is true :

Women use all this toxic crap called make-up, soaps, perfume, etc. etc. all this stuff to make their ugly faces even uglier.

Some “beauty stuff” is really highly toxic! Poisonous! Deadly!

They shower 5 times a day and pollute the environment with all this stuff every day.

They eat lots of diet stuff and other chemicals to become thin (means more ugly) or need medicine against headaches and other crap and piss and shit a lot of highly toxic chemicals because of this.

They probably are full of radioactive isotopes, this radioactive crap is used for this beauty stuff.

They also live longer and have more time for pollution.

Their highly toxic corpses will pollute the ground after their death, even bacteria and worms won’t eat them.

Men don’t use all this “beauty crap” and real men only shower once a week. Men don’t eat all this toxic diet and beauty and anti-headache crap.

And man die sooner, have less time to pollute the world.

The maggots and the worms have no problems with eating male corpses.

So we should treat women like nuclear waste and move their highly toxic bodies beneath the earth, deep beneath the sea or send them to Outer Space.

Less women means less pollution.This is true! Ask scientists.

Women should either stop to use this toxic crap to become less dangerous or must face the consequences (life in anti-radiation security chambers or life in space).
