"Let there be no mistake in the history books about that. Richard Nixon was an evil man -- evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it. He was utterly without ethics or morals or any bedrock sense of decency. Nobody trusted him -- except maybe the Stalinist Chinese, and honest historians will remember him mainly as a rat who kept scrambling to get back on the ship."

James James
Said to his mother
Mother he said
Said he:
You must never go down
To the end of the town
Without consulting me.

The garden is in mourning;
The rain falls cool among the flowers.
Summer shivers quietly
On its way towards its end.
Golden leaf after leaf
Falls from the tall acacia.
Summer smiles, astonished, feeble,
In this dying dream of a garden.
For a long while, yet, in the roses,
She will linger on, yearning for peace,
And slowly
Close her weary eyes.
-- Hermann Hesse, "September"
That was my login fortune just now. Sometimes the fortune file surprises me.

Oh, neat! It seems I'm not the only one doing a modular, extensible weblogging system in Python. I'm still working on Wobble, because it focuses on some different areas that I'd like to see done really well, but it's always nice to see other people doing stuff like this.

Mike--
I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it at 3. I've been reminded that I'm to be at a poetry reading at my father's bookstore then. On the off chance that you see this before your email.

"Incontrovertible proof Jesus fictional creation of Josephus"...
He was actually a composite of three dying gods Josephus has actually known. He meant no harm by it, saying he "just wanted to tell their stories".
Other residents of Josephus's small midwestern hometown say he seemed a perfectly normal wife and mother. They had no idea of the fraud he was perpetrating on the Internet.

Trying for dactyls he

Things we learn reading Wiki:
"Extreme Programming Installed mentions both The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged in the annotated bibliography, with the following comment:
Individual responsibility and individual mastery are at the core of team performance. It doesn't hurt to start with Rand's vision of the competent man. Just don't stop there."
I like that.

"It is possible that some people will not like this movie. Quite simply, there is no ordinary character with which a normal audience can identify. No Mortimer from Arsenic and Old Lace, no Lisa from The Simpsons. This may well turn people off, unable to accept the world as it's presented to them.
Those people are sad, and we mock them openly."
