Weblogs:

Changes on the way

    By Jack Grant

Don't be surprised in the next week or so if you see some major cosmetic changes here.

There will be some other changes as well, ones that are not cosmetic. The election of 2004 will be over, even if the result is not known for weeks or months. That alone will change many weblogs, but here I will be making a conscious change of both topics and tone.

Although I have been severely disappointed in how some bloggers have responded to my pleas for less pointing out the bad behavior of their political opponents and instead working to stop the bad behavior of their political compatriots, I still think I can do something constructive. That will be my aim for any commentary or political posting I do.

I also hope to post more on science and technology (since that is my area of expertise, by the way) and hopefully a bit more humor, because we all need it.

Random Fate - latest posts


We don't handle randomness well.
   -Dr. Lucy Jones



Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.


What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.
   -Pennywit

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)


Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
   -Dandemis


Wahabism Delenda Est
Wahabism must be destroyed.
-John Donovan, 12 May 2004
