"I personally believe that the real war on terrorism is the intellectual battle between democracy on the one side and all three of the major radical branches of politico-religious tyranny on the other, whether it is Wahhabism, Likud Zionism, or Christian Fundamentalism."

On a side note the trawling industry attack has implemented

the famous "Economic Depression Argument." Let's examine the NZ Herald article more closely.

"massive job losses"
+5pts although "massive" is a bit cliche, how about hefty, elephantine, gigantic, grand, monumental (personal favorite), vast, colossal, excessive, disastrous, or for real punch "historical" or "unprecedented"

My 23rd post was about being put on Robert O'Brien's "perduto il ben de l'intelletto" in other words "dumbasses" list, which includes Pharyngula as well as some other well known blogs. Quite an amazing feat for my modest little blog, I've never been able to match it since.

Ok, I'll play- my first meme so I hope I'm doing this right-

Did a bit more surfing this morning while waiting for the rain to subside, and discovered this meme via Thomasburg Walks on a meme via pharyngula.

Since I've removed all but last years journal notes from my server, that means digging through my archives at Grousehaven Memoirs where I found this entry:

We had what I'd call our first real winter thaw today, with temps. in the mid 30's. It was nice to sit out enjoying the birds without frozen fingertips for a change. I watched a White-breasted Nuthatch gathering leaves and litter from around the garage; seems a bit early for any sort of nestbuilding, perhaps they're just going through courtship motions.

I'm looking forward to winter season- I don't mind frozen fingertips, it gives me an excuse to make hot chocolate to thaw them out ;)

"I'm not kidding, the name of the air-force lawyer who will defend prisoners in Military Tribunals, should they ever occur, has been given. And for real, his name is Will Gunn."



Not bad.
