General:

A bit rushed

    By Jack Grant

I'm busier than I expected now that I'm in Austin. I should have anticipated being busy, but for some reason, I didn't. Hence, the shortcuts in the posts below, such as the cartoon for Rumsfeld not accepting responsibility for his mistakes. See the comments to that post for what my intention was.

So... please be patient.

Expect short posts for the next few days. I hope to have several long ones that I'll write on the plane back to France, assuming I have a power outlet on my row. I only have two batteries for my Macintosh PowerBook, and they don't last for an entire flight back to France, especially when I have a lot to write about and am running several applications simultaneously to access my notes and the saved web pages to link!

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
