It's time for my "every-three-month-or-so" apology post. I've been feeling a little swamped, and I do hate neglecting y'all (I'm reaching out to thems voters what gots morals there). I just haven't been able to sit down and take some time to whip out a decent post or two these past few days, and the next few don't seem too promising for that either. I have about eight books piled on my desk, not counting the three I returned to the library today, plus another one that showed up unexpectedly from Ultra Laser (thanks again, buddy!).
And it's not as if I don't have good stuff. I half wrote a longish (for me) entry about My Favorite Republican® Lincoln Chafee. I saw Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's fame give a great talk involving Oreos that I hope to eventually retell here. How about John Ashcroft? Will the allegorical boobs soar like the eagles once again? Also, it turns out we're at war with Iraq again. Didn't we win that thing already? Like, a million years ago when Survivor All Stars was on? The blogs are afire with good stuff that I can barely keep up with reading (here's a fun one: Jesusland
wants to expel us decadent elitists).
Plus I found some websites that link back here that I didn't know about. In those rare cases I like to make a post linking back to them because I don't have one of those fancy list-a-ma-job thingies on A Cry for Help (blogroll).
So maybe I'll get to that stuff, provided I can master application development with Flash MX 2004 Professional by Saturday night (I'm on page 13...) In the meantime, hopefully Mike or Nightwing or Gabriel Stoel or someone else will step up the posting. Em probably could have posted a Fish Stuff Friday this week about our
new lettuce nudibranch, but today I came home and it had somehow gotten itself
chopped up into little pieces. I swear. Frickin' invertebrates.

And if anyone is interested in what that pile of books on my desk is, here it is.
what an a**hole…talk about ignoring the fact that the states bush won are rural, with low populations, and he only won the popular vote by about 3 percent…people shouldn’t be allowed to write essays under the security-blanket of “satire” when it’s obvious a large part (as in the first 3/4ths) is meant seriously…i’m just going to pretend that i didn’t read that article…
Yeah, can you believe somebody who SUPPORTS Bush talking about America being on the verge of collapse and piously quoting the Declaration of Independence? Not to mention waxing self-righteous about government boots on his face?
As Adam Felber has pointed out, BLUE America pays the taxes, produces the entertainment, and gets blown up by terrorist attacks. RED America enjoys the federal highway subsidies, consumes (and complains about the moral degeneracy of, while continuing to consume) the entertainment, and is perfectly safe from terrorist attacks, because no terrorist is going to bother to blow up East Bumblefuck, Kansas. Who do you think is being oppressed here??!!
That said, it’s absolutely true we should have just let ‘em secede in 1861.
