e.g.  They have policy statements on both "Feral and Free-Ranging Domestic Cats" and "Confinement of Wild Ungulates Within High Fences".

With all the computer virus-craziness going on, it seems like we should have a link to a good free virus-scanning program.  I use the AVP freeware version, and it garners my highest degree of praise:  I think it's nice.

Seriously.  Just keep scrolling down--you'll be amazed.
Moria was Khazad-dûm, now it's Moria, not Khazad-dûm
Been a long time gone, old Khazad-dûm
Now it's orcish delight in the endless night
Every orc in Khazad-dûm lives in Moria, not Khazad-dûm
So if you've a date in Khazad-dûm, she'll be waiting in Moria.
This is what happens, apparently, when two of my favorite things collide.

I have weird feelings about invading Iraq.  I'm a little glad we did it, but I'm also relieved to know I wasn't an idiot FOR FEELING TOTALLY SAFE FROM SADDAM HUSSEIN for the past twenty years.

Dem. presidential hopeful Howard Dean seems to have appeared in the questionable movie "Ninja III: The Domination".

User summary:
Awful Ninja farce about a woman named Christy who becomes possessed by an evil spirit of a ninja and starts killing cops who killed the ninja. Terrible movie has a breakdancing edge to it making all the more laughable. Awful plot, awful acting, awful everything. Well worth avoiding.
A lot of links here about highway expansion.  (I like the recent roadkillbill strips.)  I might be posting more from the links burried within, as I haven't explored them all yet.
