Clowns Down
Clowns suck. I've never found them funny; rather they're creepy and tedious. This is an apparent atavistic trait, as other relatives have told stories of being drug unsympathetically to the circus, forced to stay put for the clowns, and being singled out for special attention by the painted frights.

However deep my distaste for clowns, I'd never imagine killing them in front of an audience of children. Good Lord, why do such a thing?

Japanese Leftists...
Setting bombs near US bases to protest a US attempt to reduce bloody violence in Iraq. Attempting to kill to end an attempt to end killing.

Meanwhile Japan is launching spy satellites to monitor truly dangerous leftists in North Korea. It is also getting tougher--starting from a very soft warm spot--on Iran.

New Start

Last year I read that 2007 is the year in which the blog boom will die. I feel that to be a statement of merit.

I've gotten tired of the dead wood here, cleared it out, and will grow some more, pusillanimously.
