bph --

I've never looked for that in particular. But good starting points for that kind of material might be Secrecy News (http://www.fas.org/blog/secrecy/) or The Memory Hole (http://www.thememoryhole.org/). Or maybe the National Security Archive (http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/), although it's not really their style.

Also, it shouldn't be too difficult to find using G--gle, if it's a .pdf. Just pick that option in "Advanced Search."

Thanks c2w. I'll look around, but isn't it generally a good idea to do that for the reader, just as a courtesy if nothing else? And isn't it especially important for Hugh, here?

OMG, stop looking at me like that! You're freaking me out!

ON EDIT: Yes, of course. Links are good. But to be fair, I don't always bother with them either if I'm writing about stuff I just know because I know it just like everyone else who knows it, in any of whose books or articles I might first have read it, who knows which.

On the other hand, for a quote? You're right. Should link if can link. Also, quit looking at me like that! I'm not joking!

Oh. And he has a key...around his neck...ouch the threat.


All manatees are fat. That is simply their nature. I suppose one could say that some manatees are fatter than others, but I doubt you will find too many that are morbidly obese, at least outside of a zoo.

And Benjamin the Manatee is actually a kindly sort of character in the film Ariel's Beginning. He has just fallen in with a bad crowd, and made some serious errors of judgement.

They're like dolphins, if dolphins were slow, obese and retarded. I imagine most of them had slapped Palin bumper stickers to their expansive posteriors. They are, after all, about to join the ranks of Nature's F Students. And I hear their breath stinks but they certainly look delicious.

I must come to the defense of the manatees.

Far from being slow learners, manatees seem to be as adept at experimental tasks as dolphins ...

No such defense implied of "HMW," of course.

OMG, you just fell for HMWs's cleverly-set KEYWORD! meme management trap, PROVING he is right. How does it feel to false flag yourself?

Isn't this sort of thing frowned upon here? For the same reason that diana napolis (sp?) threads have been locked.

Of course it's important; that's why I followed Strunk & White.

slow, obese and retarded

I think I just might be the last surviving devotee of the serial comma. And I don't know why I love them so. I just do. Not that I oppose non-devotion to the serial comma. I subscribe to your basic, typical, and academically trendy mult-puncti school of thought. Which might actually turn out to be a fad not a trend, since I just made it up this moment. Time will tell.

Certainly not. Nor would I need to. All Your You-As-I-Know-You Is Belong To Me already anyway, from my POV. So I would simply go where I and my belongings were going because I wanted us to go there, without imposing upon, harming or otherwise violating your rights and integrity or anyone else's in any way, shape or form. I mean, you'd never even have to know about it, really.
