There's got to be a better way than Ebonizing manually. First there was the
Canadianizer, eh, hoser? Then there was Zippy
(www.metahtml.com/demos/zippy/), which is terrific for Willy/Freeh/Reno
speeches. We really need an Ebonizer (TM)!
BTW, Tim's not kidding about the Oakland, CA school system. Check your
regular news source.

Sounds like Jive. Probably need to update it for the latest hip-hop
lingo, but it's a nice filter.

has already converted their homepage...
