Dear Friends:
Hi and welcome to another issue of MadKane Humor. And a special welcome
to my new subscribers. If you got this from a friend and would like your

This will be a quickie newsletter, just to let you know about an amusing
(I hope) contest I'm running on my Notables Weblog:
http://www.madkane.com/notable.html. (I even offer a mini-prize -- ten
whole PayPal bucks.)
Here's my weblog post about the contest:
"I was amused to learn about a new Bush administration goal: It wants to
change the name of the Food Stamps Program (since it no longer uses
stamps) and is soliciting suggestions from the public. I've taken a
personal interest in this. Why? Because many years ago, in order to
subsidize my symphony orchestra oboist habit, I worked for the Nassau
County, New York Food Stamps Department.
Needless to say, I couldn't resist the challenge, and the new name I've
come up with is "Leave No Stomach Behind." But I think it's important to
give Dubya a wide selection of creative names. So, as a public service,
I challenge my readers to come up with some good names and post them in
my comments. If I get suggestions from ten or more people, I'll even
award a prize -- $10 in PayPal cash."
There already are lots of great contest entries, and I hope many of you
will join the fray. How do you enter? I'm so glad you asked. All you
have to do is visit this link to my contest post
http://www.madkane.com/notable01_04a.html#06_23_04 , click on the
"Comments" link which you'll find right under that post, and type in
your entry.
I'm looking forward to reading your Food Stamps program name
suggestions.
That's it for this issue. For more humor about everything from marriage,
money, and cars to computers, privacy, and politics, please stop by
