I endeavored to mistreat Ritchie Valens, but the lyrics are just not that compelling. ---

How I decide whether or not to read a thread if Obama is referenced in title: 1. Open thread page. 2. Cmd-F to open Firefox’s page search 3. Search for the word “Hussein” — Word found: Leave thread immediately, soak head in ice water — Word not found: Continue reading thread. This thread passes. ETA: Except, now it doesn’t. Paradox. ---

I’ve spent some time working on Steely Dan’s “Home at last” and have failed completely. “Noble fast” just wasn’t working. **Dio** ’s isn’t horrible. Now I want to try to write Limbaugh as the voice of Judas. ---

So sorry, I was away from my computer. I do know who the Dalai Lama is. I do care deeply about the Tibet people and their cause. I am relieved to hear that they will indeed meet, after all. I assure you, I have no conservative agenda, this was not a backhanded or implied political statement. A simple comment on something I clearly misunderstood. But, hey, thanks for all the snark! ---
