Friday, July 19, 2002The Dartmouth Review: not titsup yetYou may have noticed that Dartreview.com, The Dartmouth Review's flagship website, is back online after a several day hiatus. No, Larry and Darren weren't pulling some kind of Weekly World News stunt. And, no, this is not a pledge-a-thon: The Dartmouth Review needs funding to publish, plain and simple.Click on the link below, and you can donate money to The Dartmouth Review via Amazon's payment system. Or, click here to donate via Paypal, which charges smaller fees. Donations are deposited directly into The Dartmouth Review's publication bank account -- none of this money goes to overhead; it pays to publish The Dartmouth Review and to keep the Review's websites online. With your help, we were able to get Dartreview.com back online quickly for the thousands of surfers who read it regularly. With your continued support, we will be able to resume our regular publication schedule. Just a few cents a day really can make a difference, as Sally Struthers has often said. 
Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Donors of $40 or more will receive a subscription to the Review at their request. To request a subscription or a receipt for tax purposes, email us here after you have donated using the link above. Donations are limited to $50 through Amazon. If you wish to donate more to the Review's publication fund, contact us, and we'll figure out a way. Thank you for your support. If you have any questions or concerns, email me here. (I'm going to keep this at the top of Dartlog for a couple more days, then we'll let things go back to normal. Contributors should post as usual.) Full post and comments below the fold.

About 1,500 gallons (GALLONS!) of Southern Comfort was spilled into the Louisville sewer system on Friday. I will be observing a moment of silence this evening. You are all welcome to join me.Full post and comments below the fold.

You may recall that Traficant defeated accusations of racketeering and bribery in 1983 by claiming that he was taking part in a "one man sting operation." Traficant apparently can't understand why the FBI has been "after him" ever since he gave them that story.Traficant admits he uses "unorthodox measures" and "may have raided this House for some appropriations money" and believes that he may go to jail for his new convictions of fraud, tax evasion, and bribery. He remains confident, however, that he "might be the first American to win a congressional seat while incarcerated." Good luck, Jim. Full post and comments below the fold. Posted by Rollo at 3:54 PM (0 comments) Practice makes PerfectIt seems as though our friends in Florida have been practicing that whole voting thing. In a variation on the complicated "point-and-click" procedure, residents took part in a mock election recently with their new touch screen voting machines. They voted on their favorite American president (it wasn't Pat Buchanan this time), their favorite holiday (Tuesday), and whether the words "under God" should stay in the Pledge of Allegiance.There's already been a lawsuit claiming the machines are inaccurate.

The asset sale comes as no surprise to followers of the beleaguered company, which declared bankruptcy last December and ceased operations. Of late, even Koop himself has been a bit erratic, giving passionate yet occasionally incoherent speeches on the "malignant" tobacco industry. Full post and comments below the fold.
