… a hole in the head On Tuesday, April 1, 2003 (a fitting day indeed) the Iraqi information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf read the following statement that he claims came from [[wp:Saddam_Hussein|Saddam Hussein]]. The translation is from The Associated Press. I have to tell you, I wasn’t all that impressed. It all rang hollow somehow.  Read more »

Just a little war stuff. The folks over at MeFi have a thread going about the incursions of our forces into the center of [[wp:Baghdad]]. There is a lot of anti-war hand wringing, and a few of us trying to interject another point of view. How you can be so doom and gloom when your  Read more »

Into harms way I was going to throw up here a long post about the war at the moment, but to be honest with you I don’t have the energy. I have posted a bit on some of the topics over at [[Metafilter]]. I’ve copied the posts here to this entry, but you really should  Read more »

Smog of War Well, went and did a demo/workshop tonight for TES on “Extreme Play”. It went OK and I got to discuss some of the gun play stuff I rarely get to talk about.

.style1 { text-decoration: underline; } On a mailing list there is a discussion of current events. The same questions come over and over again, mostly in amazement that the US may be considering taking action without the approval of the [[wp:UN]]. I have taken the liberty of posting here what I wound up replying in  Read more »

Kate Adie Let’s take a moment to talk about "the war"… or rather, the fairly odd panic sweeping the nation in the wake of the coming conflict. Now, we have talked a little bit about this before so I won’t spend too much time covering the old ground. I have found it fairly interesting to  Read more »

Ah, the coming war. Nothing like a war to get those who miss the 60′s to dust off their VW busses and come on out for a good folk sing-a-long. Of course, a good number of them also happen to be out of their minds. This topic was brought to mind by a recent [[Metafilter]]  Read more »
