(no subject)

I feel better. My wrists do not hurt as much, and I corrected some features that were making typing at home hard for me. OTOH, I may not be doing computer work after work.

I got some sleep. I got a standing invite at my mom's Sunday. I re-read some old postcards and letters and cried happy tears.

Now, things to do. Write down steps for stuff I need to do. Get dressed. Go to the farmer's market. Thought I was going to Potterfest thingy. However, that was yesterday. I spent last night cleaning up my room, eating Mexican food and sleeping. Gah. Now what?

I make jokes to keep my scowling in check

I shouldn't read old news posts, like, ever.

Latinos suck more than other immigrants, the KKK supports equal rights, and all of Europe is Muslim TRUFAX. Of course, I'd love to ask Poderhoertz and Decter if they are really OK with people who think that the only thing wrong with gas chambers, suicide bombings, torture, and religious persecution is that they are not able to do it.

Oh right, I forgot. Rationalization and groupthink are your friends. So is ignoring where your faith tradition speaks out against certain practices, even by implication. It worked for suicide bombers, and it works for Jewish neoconservatives rooting for Iran to be bombed, even if Iranians don't like much the dude running the country. Because it worked so well the last time . . .

Sometimes the step between nice people and wanna-be martyrs is way the fuck too short, if reports of the people arrested for the London subway bombing are any indication.

(Is it just me, or have you ever wondered if the Steyns of the world are funded by people who want to discredit any talk of religious or political reform in the Muslim world or kibosh any 'corruption' of Muslims living in other countries?)

"You can't take me to court because I have author-tah! It's my hot executive privilege and I can do what I want!"

Oh, and if you are wondering when the US is getting out of Iraq, you are traitors and bad people. I wonder why he didn't find a way to make Senator Clinton responsible for Lebanon. Oh, and apparently, terrorists aren't making propaganda hay out of us still being there.
