- I wish more North Americans had travelled enough to have a picture of how the world really is, outside of North America. Watching the miniature earth movie is a good way to start getting the idea, without spending years travelling.
- Think that the $8.3 trillion dollar national debt that Bush reports is a sign of absolute unmitigated fiscal disaster? What if the real value was actually $49 trillion, and it had more than doubled on Bush’s watch?

- You know that whole “Live fast, die young, leave a good-looking corpse” line? You don’t want to do that. Especially not in Wisconsin.
- Do you know the stories from the Ramayana? If you do, you might be interested in Nina Paley’s Sita-positive animated interpretations of the stories, richly laden with blues vocals. If you don’t, you might like this as an introduction to the stories. Either way, I recommend checking out at least the first chapter, to get your fill of flying eyeball snakes. (And if you dig that, go check out her other stuff.)
- Maybe it’s time to think about the Declaration of Independence in a new light.

She is pretty awesome. I wish I could remember where I had seen the pointer to her stuff…
Thanks. I try to make it as pleasant as it can be given that it’s the place where most of my bile gets vented.
But… um… wasn’t that and that you?

Happens to the best of us.
I recently misplaced most of 1990 for a while.
