Respect The Pussy.com -- it ain't what you think. Okay, knowing you, you probably do think it's about cats, and so it is. Where else can you hear cats meowing a feline version of Livin' La Vida Loca?

If you can't make it to New York City tonight for the annual Greenwich Village Halloween Parade -- or if you just don't want to deal with the crowds -- you can watch it all on the Sci-Fi channel, live, or even check out their webcast.

The Web Economy Bullshit Generator isn't a new site, but it's still worth visiting now and again ... especially if you're trying to implement out-of-the-box channels or facilitate scalable infomediaries at your place of business -- or just trying to look like you are.

Maybe Dave Letterman's Top Ten Cool Things About Having The World Series In New York were extra funny because New York's Mayor Rudy Guiliani read them? His delivery of the line "Just think what this is doing to John Rocker" was just about perfect.

One way to get through this trying political season in the U.S.A. is by the peaceful contemplation of poetry. how about e.e. cummings? Hey, wait a minute, that was political.

I was just reading a message board where the posters didn't know that Ritalin is actually an amphetamine, a.k.a. speed. Because, you know, who would give speed to little children? Anyhow, not to worry. The fine humorists at the Onion are on top of the whole youthful disorders problem.

"Girlfriends" magazine has a great interview with Camille Paglia online. She tells about the price she's paid for being out in the 1960s and 1970s, hard times looking for a girlfriend, and has some interesting insights into the state of gender identity in the year 2000. This reminded me why I sometimes really like her.

First I thought about calling in sick due to my sore throat and general malaise. But no. I got dressed and went to the corner. After gathering there for an hour and a half with my fellow unlucky commuters, and no bus in sight, I called my office and learned that there wouldn't be any buses for a while due to some huge accident at the tunnel. I went home, crashed, woke up and finally did call in sick. Therefore, in honor of my accident-assisted sick day: No links today! Back tomorrow. Now I'm taking some aspirin and going back to bed.

If Dennis Miller's commentary during Monday Night Football leaves you scratching your head from time to time, check out Brittanica Online the next day. They're explaining it all for those of us who aren't walking encyclopedias of arcana.

The Washington Post has the low-down on the Jenni-cam scandal, for those of you who aren't in that particular loop. I'm just a sucker for "reality."
