The Axis of Just As Evil

[major_clanger]

Yes, I know it's one of last year's jokes, but at times like these we need all the laughs we can possibly milk out of the whole sordid situation.

Of course, they've left out the Axis of Countries That Want To Sue sneerpout...

Is your copy of iTunes being prescient?

(Missed you at the Tun?)

Alas, too busy, both with the Day Job and with SF Foundation stuff (there's a committee meeting on Saturday).

But please have the hug I'd have given you if I'd been there...

Oh. Nice. Thanks for that.

Glorious History of the US Military

[yonmei.livejournal.com]

I was depressed about the war on Iraq (http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,909399,00.html). I'm still depressed about the war on Iraq (http://news.independent.co.uk/world/politics/story.jsp?story=384615). This Glorious History of the United States Military (http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=debate&itemid=1730821#cutid1), gacked from artisdead, made me laugh quite a bit, though.

Went to the anti-war rally yesterday. About three thousand people there - all terribly quiet and Edinburgh. One of the stewards on the march, trying to egg people on to chant or shout or make noise, was calling "State your views! Let them hear what you think!" and Homosamurai #1, walking next to me, said "I think it's going to rain." (But it didn't.) At the rally itself, Tommy Sheridan was pretty good, but I left after George Galloway - had an unbreakable appointment at 6:30. One of the other homosamurai contingent on the march said a good Edinburgh slogan would be "You'll have had your war."

The plan is when a href="http://argument.independent.co.uk/regular_columnists/johann_hari/story.jsp?story=384547">war breaks out, there's to be a rally at 5pm that day in Parliament Square. Concerted acts of civil disobedience thereafter - Not In Our Name stuff. I'm depressed again.
