Down with the weather.

I'm not sure what's wrong with me today. I went to bed last night at 9:30, and yet this morning could not drag my ass out of bed for love, money, or nuclear weapons until 6:30, half an hour after the usual time. I showered and walked out the door completely forgetting the collection of clothes and, ahem, implements for the party I'm going to tonight. I'm sitting here with my second cup of coffee in me and I just cannot get the groove going. Usually by now I'm head deep into the code and figuring out what's wrong with it, refining the raw ore of my code into diamond clarity. Instead, I'm just blah. I've been eating too much, and not sleeping enough, and... *Sigh*.

Note to self: yes, one rice cake has only 35 calories. Seven of them has 245. Got that?

At least I'm not subject to cruel science experiments.

Terror in our midst

If you want to read one of those articles that makes you wonder about whether or not the far right posesses a single brain cell, read They Are Here and They Are Out To Get You.

But she has one paragraph that got me.:

Name one Hindu group that has proclaimed the death of all Christians everywhere. Name a Jain organization that is beheading hostages. Name a Christian group that sends its children out to die with the promise of joining Jesus. Name a Tibetan monastery that has proclaimed its followers shall rule the world, by force if necessary. Name on Buddhist group that is blowing up innocents anywhere. Name a Sikh movement that kills those who choose a different faith.

For the Hindus, Hindutva qualifies. For the Sikhs, the Babar Khalista movement. for Buddhists, Gangodavila Soma a few months ago burned down a church in Sri Lanka. As for the Christians, I hardly know where to begin.

Ms. Whilite is not only insane, she doesn't know her history.

[Edit] For swirlgrrl: Ms. Whilite says she once had a bumper sticker that read, "Vegetarians eat Vegetables. I'm a Humanitarian." until she realized there really were such people.
