~ some guy on the biloxi local news referred the ‘wrath’ of katrina, and warren olney just warned that katrina was striking the gulf shore ‘with a vengeance’. the misconception that hurricanes are sentient beings whose actions are based on a vindictive nature notwithstanding, let’s be aware of the human cost of the storm, thanks to a report made whilst folks are still hiding from the storm within the superdome:
NEW ORLEANS, United States (AFP) – American football’s New Orleans Saints could be marching out of the storm-damaged Superdome and moving next week’s workouts for their season opener to Texas because of damage here from Hurricane Katrina.

Subject: dark chocolate label
Hello,
One of my colleagues recently delivered to me a package that contained an assortment of your Organic Chocolate bars, so that I may sample vegan confections of the UK which are unavailable in my country. For the most part, the wrappers are and accurate representation of the contents, but I find that the colour of the Organic Dark Chocolate is misleading. I notice that the wrapper is a dark brown, which I find does not optimally describe the ‘darkness’ of the chocolate. Whilst cocoa is indeed brown, the idea of ‘dark chocolate’ is best understood through the use of black. To reflect the cocoa content of your dark chocolate, the wrapper should be recoloured as 87% of black, rather than dark brown. My comparisons with greyscale palettes, of course, have been failures, as the wrapper is currently brown, but I advise you to conduct experiments with your printers to reach the appropriate shade. Apart from the colour issue, the layout rest of the wrapper is exquisite. Thank you.
~ google talk [w] looks nice, but provides no new features for the user, such as the ability to chat with members of various services simultaneously. it is just an instant messaging program for people who already have gmail accounts. use the miranda [w] client, instead.
~ we appreciate when people like pat robertson both call for the killing of elected leaders and call themselves christians because it makes it easy for us to keep track of who the lunatics are. speaking of lunatics, can someone explain our president’s phrase ‘democracy is unfolding’ and/or how it relates to our republican administration’s use of our military to establish an islamic state next to iran?
~ ‘our’ potluck series is becoming more disastrous at every stage; next week we foresee ourselves showing up to find that not even we are attending.

~ to the bitches who ripped the hasp from the gate to the cage in which we stow our huffy, thanks for keeping us on our toes! we have grown fat and complacent due to the pleasant weather and apple pies; we sometimes need to be reminded that hospitality has deserted philadelphia.
