# Stuff
My life appears to be a Joni Mitchell song.
More once the papers are signed.

# South Park creators try to pre-empt media hysteria
Satan investigates reports of one of his guests dressing up as the Crocodile Hunter. He finds this person (complete with a stingray sticking out of his chest) and complains that the costume is “not cool” and that it’s “just too soon” to be doing this.
Hmmm. That sounds eerily familiar.
“To lampoon somebody’s death like that is unacceptable and so soon after the event is grossly insensitive.”
Mmm. That’ll do me for irony.

# Edgy first impressions are bad
I think I am the only person on the planet who upgraded to Edgy Eft – which puts me in a vanishly small group already – and wishes they hadn’t.
Since the update browsing the web – in either Firefox or Epiphany – is no longer possible. The laptop more or less stops responding – by that I mean the mouse will moved avery twenty or thirty seconds if I keep trying – and the disk access light flickers constantly. If it was windows I would ctrl-alt-del and kill the process, but I don’t know how to do that in Gnome and I can’t get a terminal to kill the process.
Bah. I’ll have to reinstall Dapper now. Bah.

# Fuck the Government
A leading Islamic cleric’s explanation for his suggestion that women who were raped had their immodest dress to blame has been deemed unsatisfactory by the Federal Government.
Someone remind me again how our freedom of speech is protected by the joint operation of the common law and our Westminster parliament.

# In which I snark
A post? My god, it is a post. One informing me that there are other posts.
/me’s eyes bulge comically. A post here as well. Could it be, that I might find a third to complete the set?
No. Oh well, at least one of them can stay on the List of Shame 2.0
Oh yeah, and since I am being snarky anyway, bliss.
