Soldier Sues Army, Saying His Atheism Led to Threats
FORT RILEY, Kan. - When Specialist Jeremy Hall held a meeting last July for atheists and freethinkers at Camp Speicher in Iraq, he was excited, he said, to see an officer attending.
What a douchebag, this Major Welborn. Not only does he have his facts wrong, he's violated his oath to uphold the Constitution of the United State of America, and as such, should be dishonorably discharged immediately. |

Dept. of Skid Marks You can bet the skid marks on the tarmac weren't the only ones.
Brake Problems Led to United Jet Skids. Two United Airlines A320 jetliners skidded off runways in recent months because of crossed wires in their antilock brakes, the airline said. [NYT > Business] 12:55:19 AM |

Dept. of Random Rantings
You know, I had this really clever little monologue in my head, all sorts of really deft turns of phrase and those sort of wittily incisive comments that brighten a room right up (whilst simultaneously expressing and masking the speaker's Inner Pain.....you know, that really, really clever, oh sort of, "The Thin Man meets Oscar Wilde in Gertrude Stein's kitchen during the birthday party she's throwing for Woody, whom she adores, even though she thinks the whole Woo Li or Li Ping business is rather dodgy" sort of clever remarks.) with their sparkle, all while showing a deeply felt intelligence and stout heart but when I sat down to write it all down, that absolutely brilliant bit of drawing room rhetoric just sort of fizzled away into the "heh-rooow's?" of Bob the Cat demanding that I join him at his dinner bowl to watch him gustily grind up those flaky brown pellets he calls his evening snack. Oh bugger. 1:50:01 AM |

Dept. of Amazing Check out this incredible Quicktime VR 360° panorama of Sydney's New Year's fireworks display!
The panorama link will delightfully resize your browser, so you can get the full effect, but it is definitely worth it. |

Dept. of Standards Are Down All Over Oh boy, the Bush Police State gets to mess with more people.
Amtrak implements new anti-terror screening procedures. I'm a few days late in pointing to this on the blog, but earlier this week, the AP ran a story about new security measures planned for Amtrak, including random screening of selected passengers' bags. The short version: brown people on trains should probably brace themselves for [more] impromptu frisking: Amtrak passengers will have to submit to random screening of carry-on bags in a major new security push that will include officers with automatic weapons and bomb-sniffing dogs patrolling platforms and trains, the railroad planned to announce Tuesday. The initiative is a significant shift for Amtrak. Unlike the airlines, it has had relatively little visible increase in security since the 2001 terrorist attacks, a distinction that has enabled it to attract passengers eager to avoid airport hassles.

A McCain ad? On my blog?
From my archives, a piece of angst, typed out on a G3 iBook, circa 2000:
