Mark, > Thanks for that news about Miss Shenanigans.
Don't mention it. It actually saddened me. Poor Ann, she desperately wants to be respected for her mind, but men are always saying those crude things to and about her. Men are just such beasts! And Mark continued: > And for the pointer to the Urban Dictionary "Asian" page, > which is decorated with pictures of "Asian Girls For > Love & Marriage" (an Asian would not ungrammatically > capitalize the preposition For in a title, or commit ampersand abuse). > How did this ad come to appear on this page? > Probably from software that calls up advertising appropriate > to keywords it finds on the page.

I didn't even notice that, my built-in shit detector has a commercial-filtering function. I wonder what the commercials are for Ann Coulter's entry? A "Shrill Right Wing Termagants for Love&Marriage" site? Just read the entries for GW, mostly ventilation of abuse but still some diverting ones: Definition 8. 1) A natural disaster which struck the united states in 2000 A.D. and flooded the American media with manipulation and lies. 2) Reincarnation of both Hitler and Alf. [JM: Seems a bit unfair to Alf, no?] Definition 11. Living proof that the 22nd Amendment was a great idea. Definition 32. Refer to village idiot.
