On a day like today, one remembers where one was when he or she learned that the world possess the kind of evil–crouched cowardly and hypocritically behind false religious rantings–that takes delight in the murder of unarmed civilians.
Such perpetrators–indeed, Bin Laden, himself–are the most cowardly among the lowest of cowards. (more…)
It isn’t often that SPAM even makes it into my local Trash mail directory anymore, but it does happen.
It’s now an opportunity to have a bit of fun before I put a new set of filters on the mail server. (more…)
OK. I’m posting the contents of a page to which I’m linking to from things like sig-lines, and to which I’m pointing others in my quest to make generally known the needs of a family in Austin, Texas.
