sigh
added to the of things lost and retrieved since moving to DC: my shoe, which I lost near 16th and Harvard NW!

We slept at the MVS house last night because we missed the last train out of the city.

I spent a portion of yesterday riding double with my dad on his bike around Bethesda, Maryland. i get the feeling that folks around there aren't used to seeing a 52yr old man and his 21yr old daughter on ther same bike.

Hopefully my job at the Kennedy Caenter for the Performing Arts gift shop starts tomorrow. Also, my brother graduates tomorrow!

p.s. guest what i saw yesterday? it was USA-a-licious!

534 House this summer?
So, Hussein unexpectedly dropped out of 534 House, making the rent go up. Would anybody be interested (or know of anybody who is interested) in living in 534 this summer and making the rent go back down? So far, it is Ross, Bryn and myself.

Do you ever...?
Do you ever have one of those "oops, I just spent a little less than $50 on an extremely hard-to-find 'Alvin and the Chipmunks Sing the Beatles' CD while shopping online" kind of days?

I hate those.

Robin, thanks for the update. Very cool.

Me, I'm sitting on the couch waiting. This guy is supposed to come and evaluate where our landlord can install central air when she moves into the basement. I hope she's really stuck on central air, because there's no way she's ever going to have enough money to put it in, no man no way. Which means she'll never move in. Which means our washer and dryer can stay in the basement where they belong.

For the rest of the weekend I'm cooking for a CPT regional training then heading to the beach with my family for Monday. I'll ride back Tuesday morning to avoid end-of-the-weekend traffic. It's kind of cool today, though. I hope it warms up for riding and reading on the beach. I'm shivering with all the windows cranked open and the curiously cool morning air flushing in and out. I'm trying to cool the walls down so that when it heats up again we can shut the windows and stay cool indoors.

I should bring some books to read on the beach, which is to my mind one of life's more sublime pleasures.

So now I'm just waiting. I think I'll hit that Sonia Orwell book again.

Yet another "fuck you!" to Phys. Plant
Fuck you for fining me for parking in visitor parking right behind the building where I work despite the fact that it never even comes CLOSE to filling up during the summertime!

Me: "But, that doesn't make sense to me, the parking lot doesn't even come close to filling up during the summer."

Joy Hite's logical reponse: "That doesn't matter, you're not allowed to park there."

Fuck you extra hard for your "We make the rules, you follow them" bullshit answer!

Bruce Cockburn and Synchronicity
So I knew it was only a matter of time until it happened. In a city of eight million people, it's only a matter of time before you run into someone from Goshen. So when the first person I saw when I walked into the Bruce Cockburn concert on Wednesday night was dlc I really shouldn't have been surprised.

Its always interesting to see Goshen people outside Goshen. They're so much more relaxed. Doug even bought me a pint of Strongbow. And he was the second person in England to tell me that the dialect in Carthaginians was right on.

And of course, Cockburn himself was pretty impressive. I can understand now why Joann used his songs to introduce each new section in "Biblical Themes of Peace." His lyrics mine those wierd biblical archetypes. All this stuff about lions and star fields and rocket launchers. And the music wasn't all that bad either. My Canadian colleagues seem to think he exemplifies the spirit of Canada. And that seems to be a pretty good description.

The highlight of my day
At the switchboard I'm pretty much right in the middle of the social work department. I overheard the following conversation between professors Robert Birkey and Carol Jarvis:

Birkey: Hey did you see "South Park" last night?

Jarvis: Oh, wasn't that hiliarious?

J: Remember when Cartman's hair went up in flames and they made him look like Hitler? That was great!

SWDC

I went to Southwest today. I didn't know that southwest DC even existed until three months after I'd moved here when I had to go to the FCC headquarters to meet with my legal writing adjunct. I got lost, ending up somewhere around Union Station because she didn't specify the quadrant, but I got there eventually.

I went to southwest to take notes and be a presence at a meeting between two tenants' associations, one of which we represent, and the building management agency. It didn't go very well, which we expected. They won't hire another guard or set up the monitors so the guard at the front desk can watch the security cameras until we force them to do it, which I don't know if we can do or not. We'll have to take it to court. I actually am not very involved with this, as I have to put in 400 hours for my Haywood Burns fellowship and 300 hours from some Americorp program. But the Americorp program won't let me work for the tenants' association because they're an organization that's not a 501(c)(3). So I can only spend one-third of my time on them. Too bad, because they're a bunch of fun, angry people.

Oh, and Kate and Jules, in case you don't read your email, write me!

Marching by the Thames and obscure ramblings on Trotskyism
Today I went down and marched along the Thames as part of an emergency demo called by the Stop the War Coalition and Muslim Association of Britain in response to the torture of Iraqis and the ongoing occupation.

Apparently we were also calling on Blair to Resign. I didn't notice because I spent most of the time talking with a guy named Gabriel from Voices in the Wilderness UK. He gave me a thorough rundown on the left in the UK. The Stop the War coalition, like ANSWER in the US, is dominated by the The Socialist Workers Party who apparently don't play well with others and are not so in to grass roots stuff, but very organized and efficient in their own authoritarian kind of way. And they have a bunch of different front groups, like Globalise Resistance, known among British activists as Monopolise Resistance.

Apparently, they're Trotskyist, which is a term I still trying to figure out, though this paragraph from the page above makes them sound kind of Mennonite:

"After [Trotsky's] death this organisation has split many times. Trotskyist parties and groups are notorious for their tendency to split into smaller groups, quarrelling over theoretical differences that seem insignificant or indecipherable to an outsider, but which sometimes have major practical consequences for those who hold those positions."

The wierdest part of this all is that I ran into a guy I had met at a SPEAK (a Christian social justice network) conference who said he was a member of the SWP and found out other Christian student activists were members as well. These guys are even more impressive than the Workers World Party. It almost makes me start to believe in The Grand Communist Conspiracy.

P.S. Great poem, Meg!

The Apocalypse has come

And I'm dancing.

Gas prices amazingly high, they're practically European. $2.17 per
gallon.

Hallelujah! It costs $50 to fill up a Jetta. Some day soon it will cost
a beautiful green-faced Franklin to fill up the silver SUV.

And what a beautiful day that will be! Imagine.

Hollingers will be sold out. The streets will be lined with in-line
skates, bicycles, and donkey carts.

Long lines of people will form in an early morning march from
Evansville to Chicago. Trains don't go to the Suburbs.

A bike ride in the country will not require saying good bye to love
ones and family first. Every street will be a bike route.

The Bus in Goshen will be full for the first time in its life and the
trolly, for once, will have more than one rider.

The trains would be more frequent but they wouldn't blow their horns.
Cars are the only wheeled vehicle that is stupid enough to run into a
train. Bikes don't have sound systems. They don't get road rage.

There'd be a Tour du Pont every morning on 495 around DC, but nobody
would be watching. Yellow reflective jackets will become stylish.

Bread and Chocolate will allow patrons to wear skates inside.

Cops will be bored as ever. What do you do when there is no one to pull
over? Doughnut sales will skyrocket at 7-11.

There will be no more drunk drivers.

All hail the coming of $8/gallon gas.

I can't wait.

Ooops
So....I was helping sara move out today (thanks for the cheese sara!) and you know how all the floors look alike, especially when no one is living there? well, I was like, "damn, I have to pee" so I did and when I came out of the bathroom I saw some boys and I was like, "oh, I must be on the wrong floor, that's funny" and then after like a minute I was like "Holy SHIT, I just pissed in the boys bathroom." It was way unfortunate because it took me much too long to make that jump. but to make matters worse/funnier: that RL lady (I don't remember her name) was checking people out of there rooms and saw me come out of the boy's bathroom and was like "damn girl, you gotta stop smokin' the wacky weed" and then I laughed a lot.

History
Kate and I biked up to the Goshen cemetery this afternoon to look for gravestones with Hebrew writing. Barb Hassan, from Assembly, told me about them. Apparently the Goshen-Elkhart area had a thriving Jewish community at the turn of the century. At the cemetery we found a group of tombstones with for Kaatz, Stein, Oppenheim, Cohen, and Dembufsky with birth dates beginning in the 1840s, and then their children born in the early 1900s. Most had writing in Hebrew. It seems like the Dembufsky building was probably owned by a Jewish family in the early 1900s. Where did everyone go, I wonder?

Fox News Asks N.Y. Times for "Correction"

Fox News has demanded that the New York Times publish a correction after a reference to it as "the conservative cable network" appeared in the newspaper. Referring to an article by Alessandra Stanley, Fox News spokesman Robert Zimmerman said that the reference either reflected "either the writer's editorial opinion, which should not have been evidence (sic) in a news story, or an intentional attempt to mislabel Fox News." In an interview with the Washington Post, the newspaper's culture editor responded that Stanley was writing as a critic and was therefore "well within her rights to call Fox pretty much whatever she wants."

BUY MY CAR!
1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
4 3 door... AC, cassette, leather seats, heat.. power steering, ABS.. passenger Air bags.. tilt steering column..
All right. I really want to get rid of this...
It's not a bad car, it's just that the radio antenea doesn't go up, and there's a dint in the rear.. and now you can't use the back driver's side door..
BUT! it's a really good car other than that. trust me. If it wasn't for the door, I wouldn't mind keeping it.. It's awesome for travel. I average about 350 miles on a tank.
The main reason I'm getting rid of this car is because I don't have the time to take care of it. It doesn't even need that much, and it's a good car as is...

so.. buy my car..
only $1000.
after talking with my father, eh, not sure about the $1000 offer... but trust me, the price is a lot lower than originally planned. if you are interested, or need a car, please call me, IM me, hunt me down and we can work on something. I really want to get a new car, I want someone else to be able to have a car that's good, just only has 3 doors for the time--mainly because I don't have the time to fix this stuff.

Kelly Blue Book had it at $1930 (before I knew about the door, though)

But PLEASE! Buy my car!! I'll be in Ohio on Saturday.. leaving for Muncie tomorrow.. but I will 100% change my plans (minus Ohio) if you are interested in this car.
It's currently in the Yoder parking lot if you want to see it. my cell number's in the window, so please call or find me if you want to test drive it..
please please PLEASE buy my car!!!

Target

I went to Target today. I needed to get something for my cousin's wedding. I wanted to get her the vise grip that was on the registry, but it wasn't there so I settled on the needle-nose pliers and ABS level instead. Whoo-hoo tools.

I also needed to spend the money my grandmother gave me for Easter on something that I could tell her about. I decided that I need a lamp, not so much anymore now but rather for the four remaining times in my life that I'll have to study for finals. It was a bear moving the lamp between the bed and the desk all the time.

I also bought a blacklightbulb and a martini shaker in two separate fits of nonthrift. The martini shaker cost $10 and looks huge, like big enough for several martinis. I really don't know why I got it.

Also, don't you all read Robin's article and then skip over the site that did the survey. There's some exciting stuff there that might have been a better investment than a martini shaker. If only shipping from Britain wasn't so expensive.

The Elkhart Truth: Future looks dim with GC gradsThursday, May 13, 2004
Letter to the editor:


Future looks dim with GC gradsThursday, May 13, 2004

To you parents out there all across the countryside and around the world: Think you're trusting your offspring to some religious, well-thought-of college? Think twice. Anyone reading the article in the Goshen News on April 26 will have an eye-opener. (See also Truth news story, "GC confers 211 degrees," April 26.)

I'm not saying all kids will turn out as such, but many will. Of all the 211 grads, the one who gets personal attention is the one idiot who feels he can do as he pleases. Free country, isn't it? Well, what of all the other 210 that I'm sure are decent individuals, who are pushed to the back just because of one who even gets to have his say in the article.

I feel the president should have refused him freedom to do this and rejected his right to graduate. Left to do his thing, where does this open doors to? Maybe next, naked? Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Do you look forward to a future of such as these for our next generation of leaders? The years have changed many things, many ways, but our future sure isn't uplifting when you see such as this.

When your sweet innocent daughter, or son for that matter, arrives at Goshen College, that innocent little creature that left home won't be the same upon return, you can bet on it.

They will have been whitewashed, indoctrinated, brainwashed and many of you won't even recognize your sweet loving offspring.

As a matter of fact, many of your colleges these days have been downgraded and don't begin to measure up to what once was a school of learning and prestige.

As for that matter, Bethany Christian High School isn't really such a great starting off place.

Depends on who you are, your upbringing, and how strong-willed and determined you are. With an eye on your goal and nose to the grindstone, you might just make it.

Derek Bontreger and Laura Kraybill rapping on Umble Center stage???
That's right! Come to see the Ensemble Acting class's performance (aka "final exam") this Tuesday at 7 P.M. in the Umble Center. Not only will you see Laura and me rapping ("Word"), you will see a second grade version of me get traumatized in the classroom, as well as Rebecca Fast and I talking about our wild sex life and Anna Yoder talking about her well-endowed "boyfriend," Andrew! (He has a big dick.) It should be fun times and less than an hour, so you can "get your studying on" afterward. It's also FREE! Look for posters around campus. Expect it to be like "SNL," very hit-or-miss, but fun anyway.

Who said that there is no such thing as a free lunch?
Dear stinky "properties" of fair distribution and a perhaps later mentioned math prof,

I had a beautiful free lunch at the rot yesterday. The free lunch was complete with a free buffet of almost anything I could possibly want, free drinks, free desert, free fruit, free candy, and free advice. Then, to top things off, last night I was able to treat some some cool kids down at the pub to a few pitchers of free beer. (meaning that I didn't buy the pitchers, but they weren't necessarily free for me). So David Housman, when you're trying to work out how to distribute fairly or whatever the hell it is we're doing in class. keep in mind that there is such thing as a free lunch and give the little guy a bigger portion of the cake.

Sincerely,
Meg Schrock

It's the emotion that, when you see it on someone else, looks like that person really has to go to take a shit and is walking towards the bathroom and they know that the bathroom is really far a way and they really want to get there but they don't want to look like they have to shit so they walk kind of fast, but not too fast, and they look somewhat pained because they're not sure if they can make it or not. I just think that's really funny.

For some reason I always see that emotion when I walk through the computer lab during may term. I think it is because everyone really wants to be outside but they know they should do their homework so they do it. But the whole time they're in the lab they desperately want to go outside because it's beautiful, even when it's raining. But the desperation that they feel isn't true desperation, because they know that, really, it's just a paper. It's not like they are dying. Babies with bad gas do a much better job of looking like they are in true distress than people in the computer lab during may term.

Decision 2004
Goshen College's President's council chooses required four year residency.

Fuck them. They don't need me. They don't want me. They don't want you. andrea cook stated "we want students coming here who want to live on campus." That's not me. That's probably not you. yes, they may have more students enrolling here. but they're going to have a hell of a time keeping those students when they realize that alcohol isn't satin's juice and they really would like to get shit-faced every once in a while. Smokers are also leaving. No wants to have their pseudo off campus house be the side of a building when they need a smoke. It's fucking cold during the year here. No one wants that. But hell, at least it's a community builder. so we've gotten rid of the drinkers the smokers. who else? the cheap-ass bastards and the not-rich-as-fuck kids! yes they're leaving too. I like eating hot dogs for lunch everyday. that's a 9 cent meal! but a meal at the rot.... um, that's like $7 a meal. add the cost of an apartment, I think it comes to something like $60 a day just to live. I can't pay that, I don't want to. wether you can't pay or you just don't want to, those students are leaving too. so who have we eliminated now, the smokers, the drinkers, and those who live simply. Next we can count on losing anyone who care's about having a stake in the institution that they're a part of. this whole process has obviously shown that they don't care about present students opinions. fuck them. "we want this institution, even if it's only non/smoker/drinkers/spenders, to be around in 20 years." ha! that's terrible. Who the hell wants to give alumni donations to a college of apathetic conformists?? not I. Those kids shouldn't even be going to college. they should become managers at some large corporation or work for the government...wait, that's the same thing. I don't want to support conformity and I'm not going to.

So who's left? Every hypocritical mennonite who professes the values of living simply so others may simply live while they're living in an apartment their rich pastor mom is paying for while our so-called "diverse" population (minorities, people from outside the US, the poor, etc) are living in the crappy-ass miller and kratz because they can't live with their family who is not in goshen or they can't afford to live in the fucking fancy apartments. Goshen will be left with a population of rich little white mennonites from mennonite schools who don't see anything wrong with nice apartments of giving money to Sodexho. Those kids will happily "give back" to the college in alumni donations. Why, because they don't like living on 5 hot dogs a week with the occasional shower and clothes that were never purchased.

argh. so what the hell do we do?

I haven't the foggiest. I really want to write a letter to the college saying that they've killed our culture and are creating a homogenous culture of kids who like to have soft-serve ice cream available to them at every meal. fatty fatsters. I also think that if I truly cared about this institution then I should accept the decision as being for the best, or at least, that our decision makers made the best decision they could and not send nasty letters to the president's council. Perhaps a massive release of energy is needed. like a good game of anarchist anarchist cop.

Miami Cubans
So my Mom tells me that they're hiring at her work. Entry-level social work position helping homeless women with families find jobs and housing. If you want to live near Philly, this is your chance.

I wouldn't sweat any invasion of Cuba too much. With the Spanish and just about everyone else pulling out of Iraq, I don't think there's any way they can pull it. The Miami Cubans are like dogs: you don't actually have to feed them to get them excited. They'll dance around if you just wave the milkbone in the air for a while.

News from Cuba
I received this e-mail from Rachel Eisenstat this afternoon. Anybody for a bonfire in D.C. on the day we invade Cuba?

I didn't expect to send another update so soon, but I understand recent events
here concerning the United States may not be big news at home. Sometime last
week, Bush apparently delivered a speech that included "regime change" and Cuba
in the same sentence, something that could have slipped by most folks in the
U.S., but also maybe secured the vote of the Cuban-American population in Miami
in Bush's favor. Here, it has made enough news to shut down Cuba this coming
Friday (nobody will go to work and the public transportation will be out of
service) so that everyone can attend massive protests against the U.S. all over
the island. The words "regime change" bring quick associations to Cubans' (and
our) minds of the administration's adventure in Iraq, and Cuba is taking all of
Bush's words seriously. The folks here have been kind enough to recognize a
possible distinction between U.S. citizens and the government, but recent
events have colored things a bit enough to cause us to keep our U.S. identity
low (we're learning a bit about Canadian politics in the process!).

As I said, our information is limited, but I also understand that Mexico
recently withdrew its ambassadors from Cuba, and President Fox and Bush are
closely connected. In any case, I'd encourage you to look into the news about
U.S. - Cuba relations as much as possible...free press is a wonderful thing.
We are a little bit nervous, but mostly still feel warmly welcomed by our
neighbors and new friends.

Baltimore
Went to see Sarah Rose today. She lives at Jonah House in a cemetery in West Baltimore.

Some of West Baltimore is very depressing, most of the houses boarded up. People black and white walk around the empty streets, and it feels very surreal. Sometimes people sit on the stoop and watch me go by.

It's good to see her again. We tear up weeds. Some of her old friends are getting married. It's probably a bad thing. I tell her it won't last, as if that would make it better. She's not even on speaking terms with Scott.

I leave at 3:30, trying to make it out of town before rush hour. It's an hour back to Harvard Street, even with a stop to buy two and a quarter gallons of gas at just under two dollars a gallon but I don't care because it comes out to four and a half bucks exactly. I pay with my debit card so I can get back on the road as quickly as possible.

I love it, the open road. Going places.

Kristin Walker wants you pantyhose

"...Yes, indeed.

Free Beer
So Tasara's housemates, Tasara, her friend Isaiah and I went to free beer night at the Velvet Lounge. We got Yuengling. There was a free show, too.

The bass player was a girl, the band had that going for them. And she was sexy in the way that Lucinda Williams is sexy, which is the best because it's the hardest to pull off, at least I think so. It requires confidence.

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was wrong with them. And I finally figured it out. They had the hard rock thing down, there's no question about that. They were tight and knew what they were doing. But they had nothing special going for them. Sleater-Kinney has no bassist and doesn't really play chords ever. that dog. does strings and pop-punk. Lucinda Williams manages to pull together blues, rock, and country into one coherent whole. But these folks did nothing. The lead guitarist had good solos, but nothing special. The vocalist could sing fine, but didn't do anything new. And so on.

Oh, and the last song they played before we left to walk home was about Israel. I'm not kidding. A rock song about Israel? That's just weird.

Truth and rumours...
Yar, here's Bona's GC to build dorm article from last Friday. Will President's Council make a residency decision tomorrow morning between 8:30am-1pm? I guess we'll have to wait and see. Also, they are apparently [rumour!] planning a "forum" for Wednesday to "talk about the issue." Does this mean they want to hear from students or do they want to inform them of their fait accompli?

And here's T-mo's GC confers 211 degrees graduation article that created such a stink with PR and Institutional Advancement. Also apparently [rumour!] in the works: a new rule banning dressing gowns at commencement. No joke.

In incredibly unrelated blog news: now the "title" section saves you from bolding your subject head, and you can now blog from your email! Oh, happy day.

Update: Wednesday's meeting is to inform us of the decision. Huh, wonder what they will have decided... Stay tuned in case we need to do something. And come to Brick at 9pm for Black Cat White Cat!

For those who are around after May term, we should definitely get a group together to take a Cedar Point trip to visit Erini and ride the coasters. (Actually, people who aren't around after May term could meet us at Cedar Point as well.) What do you think? It will probably not work out, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

Is Motorcycling Better Than Sex?

Got the bike back from Garcia. So fast! I was very pleased. And only $60 for a few things that needed to be done. All around a very good deal.

Headed out into Montgomery County for a spin, leaving the beltway for the first time in almost two months. Headed out to Potomac, then up to Rockville, then back down 270 to the beltway and home. Oh you big roads, I will give you both cylinders and you will like it!

Tomorrow I'll go in to drop off the forms, and then if they tell me I've gotten everything in, off I go into Virginia.

Fantastic.

Secret Plan
At the gathering on Friday in which members of Rubber House anticipated the arrival of a secret agent to give them valuable information about a new secret plan in which we are involved but unable to talk about.

Do I take a shower and be 5 minutes late for class or do I go to class stinky. something like entropy or newton's first law or thermodynamics or something tells me to go to class stinky, but something else, I'm not sure what, maybe, like, the reverberation of a roommate's sentiments from weeks past, or my conscious/conscience (spelling?) or something tells me to take a shower. so I took a shower and put on all new clothes, even new pants.

my "pastor", ross erb, a guy i'm sure i've never met, asked meg and i to write about what our "Goshen experience has been like, how you have benefitted, etc. ... I am trying to get students who have received money from the Christian Education assistance fund to give these reports as one way of giving back to the congregation, as well as to (hopefully) inspire current youth to consider church schools"
I feel like being honest in this situation would be "kinda a bad scene."

Dear Ross Erb,
thanks for the $500, it's helped lower the cost of my christian liberal art experience tremendously.
I spent my first 3 semesters here holed up on Yoder 4, most of my floor mates are either married or have dropped out.
Then i went to Ethiopia where Goshen College funded my after class drinking habit. It was in Ethiopia when I discovered the beauty of a warm beer in the afternoon.
In my third year here I joined a co-ed on-campus house where most of our socializing was done on the kitchen floor drinking cheap beer and liquor. After 2 full years of playing soccer, I finally quit half way through the third season because i was tired of trying to play soccer hung-over, plus the free shoes and food weren't worth having to put up with an ass-hole asst. coach.
Aside from the drinking, we spent a lot of out time hanging-out on the roof where we smoked the cigars our housemates brought back from sst in the DR and cuba. We also broke a window and a large glass picture frame. Oh, and someone pissed on the couch that came with the house after of one of the parties we hosted.
By the end of the year 25% of the house had dropped to part-time and 33% of the people in the house had dated each other.
In my final year at GC i moved off-campus where i could drink when ever i pleased, sometimes before class.
As for my future plans, this summer i'm living in sin with my girlfriend in DC.

When Michaels Clash

So it turns out that Disney CEO Micheal Eisner, is trying to censor Michael Moore's new documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11. Something about losing their tax breaks from Jeb Bush.

Moore of course is lapping it up. "Should this be happening in a free and open society where the monied interests essentially call the shots regarding the information that the public is allowed to see?," says Moore.

Can't Eisner see he's writing Moore's next documentary for him? I can see it already: "Michael vs Michael: How Corporations Censor America" with Moore running all over Disney World with a camera crew trying to interview Mickey Mouse about corporate censorship.

Conservative have been hounding Disney for nearly a year now. Last May, conservatives threatened to boycott Disney for backing Moore's film. Best quote: "and I'd have to say that we will certainly think twice now about spending our hard-earned money at Disney, knowing that it might be used to support someone like Michael Moore. ... Disney has every right to fund Michael Moore, but we also have every right to take that into consideration when we choose how to spend our disposable income." You'd think Disney would be immune to boycott threats from the right by now, but apparently this one was effective.

For more conservative antics, see Organzing to Oppose Michael Moore's Film, ''Fahrenheit 9/11''

We can hide from it, even when it's on the front page.

How nice of the Tribune to choose a happy picture to coincide with an article about the torture of Iraqis.

The title of the front-page story of today's Chicago Tribune is "7 rebunked for prison abuse: U.S. moves to quell fallout over torture of Iraqi inmates." Yet, the corresponding picture is almost the opposite. The caption is 'I'm an American POW!' and shows a rescued U.S. POW with two U.S. soldiers (one doing the thumbs up thing). It's too bad that the disturbing pictures that need to be on the front page are not!

My two cents on ego surfing, the Internet Archive, and potential offspring

In addition to handy little Rule #5, it's also useful to remember that everything you've every posted on the internet, whether you've since thought better of it or not, will be available at the Internet Archive for perpetuity.

So whenever you post something on the internet, entertain yourself with the following:

1. Do I ever expect to have kids?
2. Do I think those kids will be curious about what their father/mother wrote on the internet 20 years ago?
3. Do I expect those kids to be smart enough to use a combination of googling, clever deduction, and the WayBackMachine to find it?
4. Will my hypothetical pride in their cleverness outweigh my overwhelming feeling of shame and humiliation when they discover the first website I ever designed?

Of course, having boy scouts with the same name as you can come in handy.
