The Will of the People
So, I was exchanging pleasantries with a recent lobotomy victim, and he brought up how a judge in California had just “overturned the will of the people” in the gay marriage ban issue. His point was, just because a judge says it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s right. You know, I’ll concede that point in general, but in this particular case, I think an even better case can be made for the opposite. The “will of the people”, frankly, is often just mean, spiteful, and evil.
Moved to Drupal 6.17
I just moved this site to Drupal 6.17 which, as we all know, is .95 better than Drupal 5.22. Most of the changes are in the background, so you should see much of a difference. In fact, if you do see a change, do let me know, as that was probably not intentional.

So, once again, the United States Senate fails to make the hard decisions required to ensure the long term financial viability of the nation, and even goes as far as to lambaste the single, rare soul making a principled stand for fiscal responsibility. Shocking, no?
Where It All Began
I was thinking about an incident that occurred in an economics course I took a decade or so ago on the commute home this evening. I don't know why it popped into my mind, but for some reason, there it was, pissing me off just like it did when it first occurred.
