Oh Moscow. It looks so grim and terrible. I found a list of people and hospitals through one of the articles on Lifenews.ru a little while ago, if there's someone you are looking for from afar. I can't even begin to fathom how awful being trapped in the subway with a bomb going off might feel. I love subways.

(Is this the kind of thing that absurdist faction wants here? The first person who tries to tell me the people calling for civil war over the damned health care bill and black President are just so misunderstood will get banned. None I've seen are willing to engage in any reasonable debate to achieve understanding and compromise and I don't want that kind of crazy here.)

I went to the store really early, and then I baked some scones. I bought some books about the 1950s, about the houses and the dinners and gender and sexuality.

I would really, really like to delete my Facebook account because I hate Facebook so much. (Not just the problems with the privacy issues but also the crappy user interface they seem determined to make even more ugly.) I keep my account because of exactly one person, who is not so present elsewhere.

Nine teens have been charged in the "unrelenting" bullying of a teenage girl from Ireland who killed herself after being raped and enduring months of torment by classmates in person and online, a prosecutor said Monday.

I read about this case in the Boston Globe but I didn't know she'd also been raped. Lovely. Just sit there and do nothing, school, after all kids will be feral little sociopaths.

I don't think they are misunderstood. I think that it's perfectly clear that they are a steaming pile of backwards idiots.

It's one thing to disagree and protest, but it's another when you take it to the levels of idiocy that they have. If they don't incite violence themselves, they surely will invite some other group of fools to incite violence against them.

Sometimes the world is too crappy to contemplate.
