If I could only find the person who wrote 'It's a small world'... oh, the pain I would inflict.

Added a new comic over to the right. Dr. McNinja, a man torn between two loves: healing the hurt and hurting the bad. Yep. He's a character all right.

In episode 1/2 he trumps McDonalds. In episode 1 he takes on Paul Bunyan. Episode 2 sees him fighting those dastardly pirates. And in the current episode (which is 3 if you've been counting) he must face... dinosaurs?

Check it out, ninja style.

Don't die.

The official Banana Peel Paper Laws of 2002 outlines the necessary rules for munkey society.

A whistle-blower revealed AT&T was allowing the NSA to wiretap internet and telephone connections. The EFF promptly sued AT&T. The government has stepped in using a rare, powerful power: the state secret priviledge.

From what I understand, this isn't a law. It isn't a power outlined in our Constitution. It is, however, an "English common law" which was "upheld in a 1953 Supreme Court case involving the fatal crash of a secret bomber." Almost every time its been invoked since, the Courts have thrown the case.

Translation: The wiretaps are illegal, we don't want to embarrass our President who already suffers a very low approval rating, and we're going to use the all-inclusive "security" argument to make sure the evidence stays hidden.

Don't die.

Voldemort can't stop the rock.

American hypocrisy will never end.

For example, take Rush Limbaugh. He was a proponent of tough laws on drug addicts saying: "If people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up." Of course, he started taking pain killers and committed fraud into keeping a steady supply. His sentence: "Fraud to conceal information to obtain a prescription, but the charge disappears in a year and a half if he sticks to treatment for his addiction."

That's right. No hard time for Rush.

Then, there's Mexico. They decide that punishing addicts with jail time might not be the best route. Rather, they decide treatment is the ticket. Our government's response: "Any law that would decriminalize dangerous drugs would not be helpful."

Translation: It is alright to seek treatment for rich American politicians who can afford to pay off 30 grand, but allowing poor Mexicans a chance for treatment is just unseemly.

Don't die.
