30. December, 2001 - A special Sunday edition. Humorous bits.

• But first something non-humorous. I'm switching to using the new code I've got on my server that uses the Suggest a Pick form. I still have to do more hand-editing than I'd like, but some picks will have attributions in brackets saying where I found the link. I hadn't planned on making the switch-over until next year (all of two days from now), but I need to start using the new system to figure out what else I need to add. We'll see how it goes.
• A few day's after George W. Bush's inauguration, a man came up to the uniformed Marine on duty at the White House and said "I'd like to see President Clinton."
  
  The Marine politely answered "Sir, Mr. Clinton is no longer president".
  
  The man said, "Oh, O.K." and walked away.
  
  The next day the Marine was again on duty and the same man approached and again asked to see President Clinton. The Marine again answered, "Sir, Mr. Clinton is no longer president."
  
  Again the man answered, "Oh, O.K." and walked away.
  
  The next day the same man approached the same Marine and again asked to see President Clinton. The Marine, a little annoyed, said "Sir, I've told you, Mr. Clinton is no longer president. Don't you understand that?"
  
  "Yes, I do" said the man, "But I just enjoy hearing it."
  
  The Marine smiled and said, "See you tomorrow."
  
  
• The 8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter has been floating around via email. I figured I'd point to the original source. And I do kinda remember rules like these.
• The Top Ten Really Mean Put-Downs have some really mean ones in there, all right. It made me laugh. [doc]
• PowerPoint actually being put to good use to complain about a hotel. The link's been everywhere, and I'm finally catching up.
• Maybe it's just me, but I'm finding the fact that little.yellow.different is written by a diminutive, Asian, homosexual fairly clever. [weblogs]
• CIA using Mariah Carey film in Interrogations. Human rights groups say it borders on torture. [instapundit]
