I'm home sick today (I'll omit the details, other than to say it was probably food that did it)...

Anyhow, a few random thoughts: I just read that Kuwait stripped the citizenship of an al Quara spokesperson. It reminded me of one of the later episodes of Babylon 5, when President Mulari is trying to get rid of the Shadow bases his planet allowed, before the Vorlons come to destroy the entire planet because parts were still 'touched.' (No, it's not a perfect parallel, and I'm not trying to make a statement about US actions, just saying what it reminded me of.)

The Evil Bert and bin Laden poster meme is just crazy. Nobody's posted a comprehensive set of links, and I'd do it and assure myself of another few thousand hits, but I don't feel up to it just now. Does anyone have links to any of these pictures? Some news agencies are taking them down or cropping them, so if you see them, save then and/or email them to me and I'll put together a collection page tomorrow. Here's an overview, if you've no idea what I'm talking about.

In related news, The Tourist Guy is giving Bert is Evil a run for its money.

Okay, now it's time to get some food. I haven't eaten anything in 27 hours and, while that's great for the diet, that's about all it's good for.

Thanks again for all the great comments about fury over the past few days though. I'm starting to form a roadmap for changes to the site. Don't worry, most aren't major, and where they are, they don't get in the way of what's already here. That's exactly the kind of thing I needed to know, so thanks again!
