bushisms for the Unix "fortune" thing
I have bushisms files for the Unix fortune thing. They're kinda fun. You can download them here:
http://www.geocities.com/dakini56/bushisms.html

I think most Unix/Linux systems come with fortune installed. So you simply put the two bushisms files into the /usr/share/games/fortune/ directory and that's that.

Mac OS X people, you can do the bushisms but you first have to download and install the fortune command line app. I put a link to it on the webpage.

Windows people, I have no idea if you can use the bushisms, but if you happen to have one of the fortune ports installed maybe you could give it a try. (There might be a problem with line breaks and formatting and whatever, the files have Unix linebreaks).

We have Ditto-head at work here. Just after the Selection, he said that Gore did not in fact get more votes that AWOL.

He claimed that in California for example, they stopped counting votes after it was realized that the outcome of California could not be affected.

He said that not only did AWOL get more votes, but claims that if all the votes had been counted in California, it would have revealed that AWOL won the popular vote by more than 2 million.

I told him he was full of shit. With Repukes, it is not about what happened, it is about what people are willing to believe happened.

Revisionist history at its best.

Cheers

EDIT: this post has mysteriously appeared in a thread that I viewed hours ago.
