First rate, June 21, 2002
An essential guide for the fast food promotional toy collector, this fine book lists each and every one of the toys given away with Happy meals in the 90s. If you choked on it, it's in here. It even had listings and recent auction prices for some of that weird "McCrying Game" merchandising. A must.

Tremendous, June 20, 2002
A truly wonderful guide which has enabled me to explain my recent sacking for vandalising company property to my children in terms of a minor act of redemption. First rate.

Excellent, July 5, 2002
A superb action figure that sticks to windows and walls. Flexible yet sturdy, you can bend him into any shape, including the your-dad-at-a-rave pose (pictured).
Anybody that follows the news knows (or should know) of this administrations open distain for freedom and openness. Slate has a nice little article on some of the things I didn't know, though.

Yahoo! News - Top Cardinal Blasts 'Da Vinci Code' as 'Cheap Lies':
"You can find that book everywhere and the risk is that many people who read it believe that those fairy tales are real,'"
The above quote is truly perfect as is and I should probably leave it alone, but I'm going to sully it with some follow up questions.
"Mr. Bishop sir, the book you refer to has given enjoyment to and believed by millions of people and has a good moral message overall. So really, what is the harm?"
"Also, if you don't mind, what objective criteria do you suggest we use in order to determine what is historically accurate and what is merely, how did you put it, oh yeah, just a 'fairy tale'?"
Interesting little piece somewhat related to the shooting of the Italian journalist. I'm much less interested in that particular story than the observations about the right-wing columnists that wrote their conclusions about it immediately and then worked the facts over afterwards to fit their conclusion. A common practice that seems to be getting more attention lately.
