YOUR MOTHER!

AP News: Reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools was declared unconstitutional Wednesday by a federal judge ruling in the second attempt by an atheist to have the pledge removed from classrooms. The man lost his previous battle before the U.S. Supreme Court — [Yes this is the same court case that was referenced here, in 2002.]

I thought I was in the bizzaro universe over the last couple of weeks – this simply confirms it. Either I’m in an alternate reality or I’m this week’s guest star on Sliders… either way, this isn’t really happening. La la la la! You can’t make me listen to the madness! As it is… I’m just in… awe. Yes, awe is the right word I think. Awed that this could ever happen. Awed that this took over three years to get settled. Awed that we haven’t revolved against the idiots and let natural selection take its course…

If anyone is looking for me, I’ll be alone in the closet with a security blanket, sobbing.

Three attempts later and the site is back up and running. The first attempt was trial. The second attempt was error (had to delete the blog and start over – first I got confused and then TypePad did). The third attempt is what you see here and I’m pretty satisfied with it.

Most everything is back to form except for links between posts – I tried, but some are pointing to the wrong locations but I doubt anyone cares… basically MT took this last opportunity to screw me: it dupicated a bunch of posts and I didn’t notice until it was too late to deal with it. Also the RSS feed URL’s have changed so please update your readers. Software downloads and their FAQ’s are in the same location. The site also seems zippier now… aside from that, if you find any broken pictures, links or truely ugly issues, please leave me a note!
