I guess I wasn’t even thinking straight. I have grown so accustomed to being racially blind that I didn’t see the obvious until a racist republican jack-ass that I have the unfortunate bad luck to know made a comment. Then it struck me. I was looking at the televised images of the despair and the suffering in New Orleans and seeing human beings in need. But my racist acquaintance looks at those same images and sees niggers.

George “Nero” Bush plays guitar while New Orleans sinks.

In the Suburban Chicago Daily Herald, Dennis Hastert, republican majority leader continued his habit of speaking without having his brain actually connected.

Funny that I have a daughter named Katrina.

Everybody has been calling me asking me about what I think about what has happened. I guess my answer is that I don’t think about it at all if I can help it. But when I do think about it I get angry. Not angry at the hurricane because that would be pointless and futile. I’m just angry at people, especially politicians.

Well I was worried about people being paid to post to blogs, but there are lots of bots posting comments to blogs out there. Luckily I haven’t seen this yet, but then again I haven’t done a trackback to anyone else either.

Just finished watching Stephen Chow’s Kung Fu Hustle for the first time. A friend brought over the DVD.

Well I’ve moved my personal blog into a drupal powered site which now completely ends my brief romance with blojsom. Hopefully this romance with drupal will last a little longer* since I am tired of creating websites for free. If you are looking for blogs about more technical stuff, then visit my “forgotten software” website.

*actually I’m studying Ruby on Rails now.

Can’t wait to see what happens on Stargate, its spin-off and Battlestar Galactica. I’m lucky enough to have a DVR so I can wait an hour into the programs and then happily skip commercials. Finally!, a computer attached to my satellite receiver lets me skip commercials fast. I have dreamt about that since the days of my first VCR while trying to stop fast forward at the right instant. It still isn’t totally automatic. It would be better if commercials weren’t recorded at all.

It was bound to happen.

The enormous popularity of blogging has brought the internet carpet-baggers to a blog near you.

I don’t want to give away the plot of the latest Harry Potter adventure to those who have not yet read it. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is in many ways the most adult story so far.
