To my neighbor...
From Craigslist:
To my neighbor who I saw pooping in his yard yesterday
Date: 2008-06-05, 2:52PM EDT
I saw you couched down with your pants around your ankles. I asked "Hey, what are you doing?". Your reply was "Pooping in a groundhog hole! I read about it online. It's suppose to trick the groundhog into thinking another animal has moved into it's lair.".
Since you are normally a sane person I refrained from calling the police.

Call Rodney Re.: Telco Spying Immunity!
http://www.stopthespying.org/NJ/11
Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen
of New Jersey's 11st District
RODNEY F. Supports Telco Immunity!!
If Rep. Frelinghuysen is your representative, please contact him to remind him that immunity for lawbreaking phone companies is unacceptable:
(202) 225-5034
What To Say
I'm a constituent and I'd like to urge Rep. Frelinghuysen to oppose telecom immunity.
Vote "no" on the new FISA bill (H.R. 6304), which contains blanket immunity for telecoms that cooperated in warrantless government spying. It is very important to me that Rep. Frelinghuysen defend the rule of law and allow Americans to have their day in court against lawbreaking telecoms.
Supporters of telecom immunity will tell you that H.R. 6304 is better – but it’s not. The changes have been purely cosmetic, and your constituents can see right through it. False compromises that grant the telephone companies immunity for participating in warrantless wiretapping are unacceptable.
Don't have time to make a phone call? Email Rep. Frelinghuysen instead.

NJ officials against Buddhist ritual
Obviously this sect has NEVER seen the Passaic River. Had they known what a toxic waste infested , PCB ridden detrius of chemical-related influx that it is, they themselves would have saved the animals the anguish of being slowly asphixiated in that nasty brew and secured their "karmic potential" by making them into a tasty soup and allowing them to reincarnate into housecats. Buddhist Bastards!
From the Daily Record
PATERSON, N.J. (AP) -- A New York sect of Amitabha Buddhists bought hundreds of eels, frogs and turtles in Chinatown to set them free in the Passaic River, hoping they would not only survive but also realize their karmic potential.
Saving the animals, though, did not do anything for the karma of the state Department of Environmental Protection. DEP officials say the Buddhists did not have a permit and may be subject to fines up to $1,000.
Releasing critters into the wild takes a permit -- and because of fears of harm being done by nonnative species, New Jersey is reluctant to issue them out for anything beyond stocking fish ponds.
"We're dead-set against it," DEP biologist Mark Boriek told a local newspaper. "It's even illegal to stock any kind of carp or goldfish in New Jersey in a place with an inlet or outlet."
The DEP said it would try to figure out where the reptiles and amphibians came from to try to guess how they might impact the river, which has been cleaned up in recent years.
Authorities have not found the Buddhist group yet.
But one member, Ann Chin, talked to the newspaper.
She said the idea was not to hurt other species, but to save the animals that were destined for dinner tables.
"When I pass by the fish market, I cry," Chin said. "I tell people: 'Stop killing them.' Then: 'Don't eat them.' Then your heart goes to mercy."
Morris Maven: Her heart would have been better served had she dumped the critters in the Raritan...

The Furry Grim Reaper
NEJM -- A Day in the Life of Oscar the Cat
An absolutely adorable two-year old stray comforts the dying in a Massachusetts Hospice. Strangely, the cat seems to sense a patient's death sooner than the doctors or nurses. Being "chosen" by this little minx causes the nurses to contact your next of kin a.s.a.p. lest they miss your final parting. The cat has a complex personality and is not overly fond of anyone unless they are a hairsbreath away from their final reward.
