Why is this crap even needed? My guess was that in case my biomechanisms shut off while I'm getting poked in the lumbar sac, they can contact the correct priest, of course.

It would have been a great one. My diary. But I was discouraged from posting it.

If this were an actual diary entry...

I came across this piece from the AP and felt the need to comment on it a little bit.

It seems Santorum is shilling for NAMBLA these days. The sad thing is, he doesn't seem to realize it.

Lee Salisbury published a piece in the Axis of Logic July 13th called Monkeys are preferable as ancestors over the bible?s God anytime!

In this very cogent and stark comparison between monkeys and God, Salisbury gets to the heart of the matter using the very tools used to "prove" Christianity as the more moral path than evolution: the Bible.

Salon's Sidney Blumenthal has written THE piece on the Plame affair. The article is available here (daypass required -- well worth it).

Got this from the AP .

It seems the insurgents in Iraq are burning money, now. More after the cut.

Me and my little family are heading out west week after next, going to live in an "undisclosed location" far, far away from our northeastern digs.

What a pain in the dick this is. We have no money, I've had to stop taking on big jobs in my programming company so that I can move us, and we've just barely managed to scrape enough together to maybe pay our deposit on the new place.

This is a fucking nightmare. I'm usually more positive in my personal life, but I have to admit to having a real sense of frustration over this. We've been planning this move for two months, but things never go as planned, as we all know.

Now I'm stressing, and I know it will all work out, but I can't see how. To top it off I am having professional problems, but those will work themselves out after the move.

This sucks.

Woe is me, woe is me. ;)

See, I know I'm the main blogger at this site and all, but I thought it would be nice to have a place to just kick back and have a good time, just shoot the shit however I feel like.

This is that place for me, my own personal diary on my own... personal... um... web diary.

Yeah. Ok, I'm a dork. That's ok, I like me like this. I ain't much, baby, but I'm all I got.

Via Riverbend, Iraqi blogger (and, therefore, free speech activist) Khalid Jarrar has been abducted by the Mukhabarat, Iraq's intelligence service. The name has an understandably negative connotation, because it served as Saddam's secret police, but Khalid's brother Raed explains why it beats the alternatives.
