Strong enough for a serials cataloger, but quiet enough for a reference librarian:

As He Hears It:

La Gaceta's "As We Heard It" is a sort of a blog-in-print. Here's an item from their March 29, 2002 issue:

This week, the Supreme Court upheld the federal policy that allows tenants to be evicted from public housing projects if any member of the household or guest is arrested for use, possession or sale of illegal drugs at the residence or at another location. Does this put Governor Jeb Bush at risk of being kicked out of the governor's mansion? The mansion is a form of public housing and a member of his household was arrested for illegally obtaining pharmaceutical drugs. We're sure he is ok. The policy is only intended to be used against the poor, elderly and uneducated.

That's why I'm so glad to have a subscription. You can subscribe to La Gaceta too -- cheap as dirt if you live in Hillsborough County, and cheap as soil if you live elsewhere.

I knew all the street spam was evil, but until recently I didn't know just how evil...

I'd Hate To See The Finishing Move:

On a whim, Andy McNamara, editor-in-chief of Game Informer Magazine, decided to see if he could beat "Kabuki Warrior" by tapping his game pad against his buttocks. He lost his first fight or two. Then he figured it out and beat the entire game. He began his review of the game this way: "I beat it with my ass."
