Kinda Scary Government Budget

This really doesn’t look very good.

podpolia v. 3.0

Well, this is the third iteration of my blog. I started on Live Journal in 2002, mostly writing about life as I saw it (mostly being depressed and suchlike). I shifted to podpolia.com at the end of 2004, where I used simplog. After simplog was hacked once and then inundated by comment spam, and then the developers stopped supporting it, I finally decided to switch to something else. Thanks to the world’s greatest cousin, hiking partner, and tech guru, I’m now up and running in WordPress, and I’m working on setting things up. It may take a while, as it involves kerjiggling the whosamawhatsits some, and other random pokings and proddings, but it looks fairly straightforward.

I seem to have arrived.

Well, it’s finally happened. I’m getting spam about my blog. I got an email today inviting me to join a yahoo groups group. My ranking on The Truth Laid Bear is rocketing past being 18,000th! Unfortunately, it’s rocketing downward, much like many of the space program’s early rockets.
Not that I’m complaining. There are actually a few people out there that read the random crap I spew out once a day or so. As my crap spewing has been rather light of late, here’s some for today.
French teenagers have decided that taking your aggression out on murderous dictators is BAD, so it must be better to mug a much-beloved seasonal figure if he doesn’t give you enough candy. However, you could also be an American and simply shoot at the man with a pellet gun. At least we don’t use the real ones on unarmed civilians, so at the moment I believe we still have bragging rights.
Then again, we have to chain down the Son of God to keep him from being stolen. All over the country.
So we’re not up by much.

This blog is now defunct. However, for the two and a quarter people who read this, don't despair! I've simply moved it. My new website is http://www.podpolia.com. It's nothing particularly fancy yet, but I'm busy settling in. It includes more features and stuff than I have with livejournal. Also, I will be able to tell just how many people ACTUALLY visit it. Update your bookmarks, or make a bookmark incorrectly so you can update it! And then delete it, because you probably got here by accident and have no desire to ever see any more of this!

Interesting bit on the oath of office. Personally, I'd like to see George H. W. Bush swear in George W. Bush if Rehnquist can't do it, but that would probably cause quite an outcry from the people who insist the former is the only reason the latter has the job (despite complete lack of proof). Then again, he doesn't exactly have to run for reelection, does he?

Speaking of striking again, Bill from INDC seems to have taken up the humor business.

More comes out about the brouhaha in the CIA. If it IS a purge of officers who feel it necessary to leak information to forward their partisan agenda (something the Clinton administration was rife with) more power to them.
