Hi all!

Let's see if I can post...

I've got a whole list of links I'd like to post up, but I think I'll have to restrict myself to just one for now... best not to jinx it, right?

The Christian Mother Goose.

Now, I've got no problems with people writing books to teach their values. Really. But, please, please, please don't mangle classics to do that. Teach Christian values with Christian stories and verse, and with Christian behaviour, or with well-chosen stories and verse that happen to show your values. Don't ruin a classic riddle by altering it to:

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
Humpty Dumpty shouted, "Amen! God can put me together again."

That's just not right.

And now, I must adieu, I hope this works.... *crosses fingers*

*frowns irritably*

Everything's working, except the recent comments page. I know I should be happy that the rest of the site is up, but I WANT MY RECENT COMMENTS PAGE!

*sits and whines and sucks her thumb*

Okay. My news roundup, since I'm certainly not making individual posts....

You've all seen this, of course.

Two articles on the prison abuse trial here and here.

One about the much-touted demise of hypodermic needles.

Another article about the US making a big mistake.

And one about deserters.

And one about the military discharging gay linguists. Stop writing Jack/Daniel slash, guys... oh, wait, Daniel isn't part of the military, is he?

An article about a woman losing insurance because of her political views.

A very long article discussing social security.

Last one, touching on ABC's coverage of the social security issue.

Whee! I'm done.

And more fun with amazon!

I should do this more often. Maybe next time I'll brave the positive comments, huh?
