One step ahead of Big Brother.

The CIA has launched a taskforce to assess the impact of 250,000 leaked US diplomatic cables. Its name? WikiLeaks Task Force, or WTF for short.

The group will scour the released documents to survey damage caused by the disclosures. One of the most embarrassing revelations was that the US state department had drawn up a list of information it would like on key UN figures – it later emerged the CIA had asked for the information.

"Officially, the panel is called the WikiLeaks Task Force. But at CIA headquarters, it's mainly known by its all-too-apt acronym: WTF," the Washington Post reported.

Merry Non-specific Celebration of Winter Goodwill

"Happy Holidays" is boring. If I wanted boring, I'd go to Wal-mart and watch the sweatpants.

Or maybe I'd do that for fun.

WTF news:

--There will be no big two-year anniversary party this year, we just didn't have time to organize one. Instead, we're going to start having totally sweet parties for every season, and it's only just winter (officially, although starting winter at the shortest day of the year makes little sense to me, much like starting summer at the longest--has anyone considered centering the seasonal turn around these solar turning-points?). So some time around the middle of February, when it's truly miserably cold outside and we're all sick of the cabin-fever, we'll be breakin' it down somewhere here on our beloved West Side. Stay tuned for more. Dianne?

--Yes, Tom, WTF needs a new computer. If anybody out there has a relatively newer Mac with Intel hardware they'd like to sell, drop us a line.

--Our Skype line has expired. We are switching to Google Talk, which is entirely free (we're cheap--details to follow at 11).

--Chocolate makes a great Christmas gift.

--So does genocide.

--Also bicycles.

...

Love ya, Buffalo!
