The Pink Panther is a series of American/British comedic films which feature the bumbling French police detective Jacques Clouseau.

Cato is Clouseau's servant, and an expert in martial arts. It is unclear whether he believes Clouseau to be a great detective or whether he merely humors him. It is a running joke that he is instructed to attack Clouseau when he least expects it to keep Clouseau's combat skills and vigilance sharp.

In the days after Hezbollah crossed fro Lebanon into Israel, on July 12th, to kidna two soldiers, triggering an Israeli air attack o Lebanon and a full-scale war, the Bus Administration seemed strangely passive. “It’s moment of clarification,

OLYMPIA - An animal got into a downtown substation, causing a late-night power outage, Puget Sound Energy said Saturday.

The power outage occurred at 11:24 p.m. Friday and affected 1,400 customers throughout downtown and as far east as Pacific Avenue. The outage caused a delay in production and delivery of Saturday's Olympian.

"A PSE crew member was on site at 12:10 a.m. Saturday and found an animal had gotten into the substation at Thurston Avenue and Franklin Street and gotten into equipment that caused a circuit to short," said Dorothy Bracken, a spokeswoman with Puget Sound Energy.

Power was restored at 1:05 a.m. Saturday, according to Puget Sound Energy. The Olympian regained full power after 2 a.m.

Both stories have failed to mention what kind of animal caused the outage. There can only be two reasons for this omission:

1. There was not enough of the little critter left to identify.
2. The "animal" was actually part of a well-known infestation of mutant CAIMANS (released into the lake by stevenl) who have begun to attack our infrastructure as a first step toward total domination of the Olympia area!

I report, you decide.

Acts of sabotage don't qualify as terrorism

During the last nine months, the FBI has been engaging in Operation Backfire: an intense effort to round up people suspected of "eco-terrorism" in the name of the Earth Liberation Front and Animal Liberation Front. The use of the term "terrorism" in this campaign has effects far outside the individual cases. Even though no one has ever been injured - much less killed - in any of these acts of sabotage, the Justice Department has insisted that the Earth Liberation Front is the most dangerous domestic terrorist group in America, and the agency has used broad powers and devoted tons of resources to arresting people associated with it. The act of burning SUVs and empty homes is extreme, but not terrorism.

The rhetoric by the federal government serves a purpose. The Justice Department has focused on people's political beliefs - highlighting the ideological view of the individuals involved. This surely has a chilling effect on freedom of expression and could discourage people from engaging in legitimate political actions out of fear of being accused of "terrorism."

Last May, the federal government celebrated the work of two Eugene police officers for their participation in Operation Backfire. This celebration occurred despite (or because of) the outcry from some civil liberty groups that the investigations and grand jury proceedings during Operation Backfire may contain civil liberty violations. This recognition shows how this administration feels about civil liberties: If police officers bend the Constitution, reward them; if citizens think differently from the state, punish them.
