Line of the Day (Recall Division)
Alexander Cockburn on California's governor: "Gray Davis…now proclaims that he is going to fight 'like a Bengal tiger.' It takes one to know one. Bengal tigers like to hang out near some village and eat small cows, fearing even the stately water buffalo. When its teeth go bad the Bengal tiger gives up on the cows and starts attacking elderly, defenseless humans."

I recall saying something about common ignorance of animal behavior. Guess this is a good example; hehehehehe. Whoops!
Cockburn. Although the comment is cute and pithy, why anyone -- right, left, middle, libertarian, whatever -- bothers to read that psycho is bewildering. Truly, he is a complete nutjob.
Let's throw Alex in a tiger's cage & see how he comes out against one of those weenie Bengals.
They are also endangered, and more or less doomed to extinction in the not so distant future. Quite fitting.
Oh damn that's funny
