« Just another day in Florida »: ‘A mobile home belonging to a gay couple was torched and an offensive epithet was spray-painted on the front steps, authorities said.

Tehran: The Next Hiroshima
Those of you who voted for the Fascists in the last election need to understand that a vote for Bush was a vote for « this »: ‘In Washington it is hardly a secret that the same people in and around the administration who brought you Iraq are preparing to do the same for Iran. The Pentagon,…
'A Pervasive Culture of Revenge AND Secrecy'
As always, it’s smell-a-rat time; « what are the Mayberry Machiavellis trying to hide THIS time? »; ‘Citing privacy and precedent, the Bush administration indicated Sunday it does not intend to release all memos and other documents written by Supreme Court nominee John Roberts when he worked for two Republican presidents. … Fred D. Thompson, the former…
We Are Back
Asquared AirBeagle is back … now powered by WordPress, which does some truly awesome things, such as the weather report you see in the sidebar and the new ‘Subscribe to Comments’ feature, which allows you, the commentor, to receive notification if someone replies to your comment. Cool beans. I also added PhotoStack to handle the…

Excuse me, but I’m angry. God damn the Emperor. Damn him to hell: « More »
Sabre Rattling
While we’re all tied up in knots over suicidal nuts with explosives who kill 50 people at a time, « somebody else is talking about nuking millions of Americans »: ‘China is willing to use nuclear weapons against the United States if it is attacked in a conflict over Taiwan, a senior Chinese military official said last…
70s Has-Been, Corvette, Mobile Home, Pit Bulls, Drugs. Yeah.
It simply doesn’t get any more clichéd than « this »: ‘Victor Edward Willis, the original policeman and lead singer from the Village People, had a chance to find out firsthand this week after he was arrested when police discovered a gun and drugs in his car during a traffic stop in Daly City, California. Willis was…
Up and Running
I imported the old entries successfully from TextPattern, but I’ve lost a few trackbacks and comments. If yours was one of them, I do apologize. And I’m working on the link thing. Like the new look?
Making a Switch
Textpattern is … causing me some frustrations lately. So I’m switching to « WordPress ». Things will be very higgledy-piggledy for a little while. Thanks for bearing with me. Links will be back as soon as possible.
We Are All Londoners
Just as on 11-Marzo, we were all Madrileños and on 11-September we were all New Yorkers, as of 7-July we are all « Londoners ». ‘Once the shock had settled, I started to feel immense pride that the LAS, the other emergency services, the hospitals, and all the other support groups and organisations were all doing such…

The Intelligently Designed Four
So. « Ayn Clouter writes movie script treatments ». Who knew? ‘What is really needed to refresh the medium is to bring in, not “politically correct” references to current society, but real down-and-dirty politics filled with Red State values. Hence this treatment for a much better remake of the original material, meant to be financed by a…
Yep, Hail in July
Yep, there was hail, albeit briefly. That thunderstorm we had this evening around 5.00 lasted about 45 minutes or so and was quite a fierce one. I stood in the entryway of Hatcher for about ten minutes and the rain disspiated for about ten minutes … then the real storm let loose, with major lightning,…
July
Me? I’m good. Survived the first two weeks of grad school, albeit with plenty of pain. Looks like I’ll survive the rest too, so it’s not been a bad week. Today: Hail.
14 Geddes – East Stadium
The past couple of weeks I’ve been trying out a different bus route home — the 14, which runs from Blake Transit Center to Pioneer High by what is probably the most circuitous and esoteric route imaginable. Unlike most AATA buses, the 14 doesn’t run directly through the center of town (State, Packard, Main, etc.)….
Fourth of July Weekend
The Fourth was relatively quiet until about an hour or so ago, when some neighbors started off a round of fireworks (I’ll never understand what makes people with half a brain think that it’s okay to light off explosives around foliage, but I guess that’s just me). The town was almost eerily deserted the whole…
