Happy Birthday, America.
It's 4:54 AM, and I'm going fishing.

After the events of the past year, it would, of course, be pure hyperbole to say that I cannot imagine a fresher sort of hell than to be a permanent prisoner of the Israelis.
But really, fairly true, yes?
Can't we do something about poor Mordechai? If we can pre-emptively attack the brown peoples of Iraq in order to protect their freedoms, surely we can pre-emptively attack the Israelis (it is the prior 3 words of this sentence which will surely get me monitored on some Department of Homeland Security web-site monitoring system) in order to Free Mordechai.
He's White, after all!
From http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L30266155.htm:
“An Israeli court on Monday convicted former nuclear technician Mordechai Vanunu, who in 2004 completed a prison term for spilling military secrets, of violating the terms of his release by speaking to foreign media.“
For fuck's sake, Israel, the cat is out of the proverbial bag vis-a-vis the following:
a) the fact that you suck
b) your hatred of Palestinians
c) your love of Judean Manifest Destiny
d) your possession of nuclear weapons
Surely your vaunted Democracy can handle Mordechai speaking with other human beings, yes? You are, after all, the Most Important Country in the World. The Very Home of Freedom and all things égalité. Is it possible, perhaps, that you could stop being such an asshole for 15 minutes? All Mordechai wants to do is flee your turgid shores, is that too much to ask?
PS: (Dear Israel, I have missed our little chats)

What is Ian listening to, you've been asking yourself?
Awake at night, you anxiously wonder: “How will I stay hip and cool if I'm not told what to do“?
Well, friends, I present to you the “List of Stuff You Should Obviously Buy, or Ask Your Uncle BT to Get for Your Broke Ass™“:
Also as a bonus, I present you the “List-of-Stuff-that-is-still-worth-checking-out-though-I'm-sad-to-say-is-really-not-all-that-spectacular-cause-I-really-liked-the-artist's-previous-efforts-quite-a-great-deal ™“:

Long time, no post.
Report: Pentagon Manipulated Iraq Intel
“Acting Inspector General Thomas F. Gimble told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the office headed by former Pentagon policy chief Douglas J. Feith took "inappropriate" actions in advancing conclusions on al-Qaida connections not backed up by the nation's intelligence agencies.”
Nice. I'll note I pointed that out about 3 years ago, and without benefit of any congressional investigations.
Dougie Feith, what have you and your law firm been doing since you resigned in shame after your office came under investigation for manufacturing intelligence?
Repping hard-core for Israel, of course!
Which, we can all agree, is pretty much what you were doing in the public sector as well.
A glick ahf dir!

My country, despite its myriad faults, is awesome.

Thoughts from San Diego:
- Cartographers are, by and large, an exceptionally unattractive group of fat men.
- Jack is, as I overheard from someone's random cellphone call today, “a huge treehugger“.
- With the 2006 elections so close, it's stunning that it's taken this long for the terrorism season to get kicked off this year.
Lucky for me, I get to fly today. How am I preparing?
- I'm taking extra special care not to have any liquids, juices, or gels on me.
- I'm bringing fresh socks in case the ones I'm wearing are too moist and would therefore preclude my entry onto the aircraft, or cause me to get forcibly subdued.
- Before I go through security, I will empty my mouth of spit, and probably hit the little boy's room just in case.
Everything is absurd. Israel, I blame all this on you.
In case these are my final words before getting blow'd up, please make sure all my belongings are distributed to lebanese orphans.
