I have taken down no names, and have no desire to. However, this is neither negotiable, nor a topic for discussion. If you cannot respect that, it is my suggestion that you simply stop reading me.
Thank you.

…or so, and then I’m done. Well, except for getting on the plane. And getting home from the airport. And driving the next day to get the kids. And getting ready for the new school year. Still. You ken what I mean.
It’s been fun, but I’d like to go home soon, please.
And thank GOD but I don’t have to deal with what I was expecting to have to deal with tomorrow now. This situation practically tested my practical operating methodology to destruction. I’m just as happy to not have to deal with it in such a direct fashion anymore.
Short version: it happened Wednesday, started to get play, and then promptly lost play when it turned out that the attacker had a more or less fake gun. It appears that this person had mental issues: “Vincente David Montano terrorized movie patrons in what looked convincingly like a theater massacre in the making, and police in Nashville, Tennessee, responded accordingly, shooting him dead.” Largely because he did in fact hit people with pepper spray, a BB gun – and much more importantly, a hatchet. And he then advanced on a SWAT team with said hatchet, and that’s pretty much when he got shot.
At some point we as a society need to decide whether we want to keep ignoring the fact that a percentage of paranoid schizophrenics won’t voluntarily keep taking their medication. I mean, I understand that most schizophrenics aren’t particularly dangerous to anybody except themselves, but there’s a percentage that is. What do we do about that?
As I understand it, not only did the main debate get ridiculously more people watching it than did Stewart: the undercard debate actually had more watchers than Stewart, too. This relieves me, honestly. Because whatever you thought about the debates last night, they had a lot more semantic content in them than did Jon Stewart’s nightly Punch-and-Judy show. I’m honestly relieved that a large number of citizens in the Republic apparently agree with me.
It’s going well, especially by Ed. He’s just a genial guy generally that it’s especially notable when he gets angry. Which is certainly a proper reaction to what Planned Parenthood has done.

…rather tired, and more than a little drunk. Going to go to sleep now.
If a scandal freaked him out, then you knew that the Democrats were in full Panic Mode over it. Aside from that… eh. He’ll be gone tomorrow, and the world will not have changed.
But I can see how people might be upset that the show was over. *I* was upset after the last episode of Babylon 5, after all. After a while, you see your favorite entertainments as being part of an orderly universe, you know what I mean? And re-runs are never the same, somehow. Hopefully they’ll find something else to veg out to…
Listened to this on the flight down. Because there ain’t nothing like funk to lighten a mood.
“God bless Chocolate City and its vanilla suburbs.” God knows Motown needs all the blessings it can get.
I’m only about a quarter of the way through Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle that Defined a Generation, but it’s gripping reading. Sufficiently gripping that you should probably pick it up. The funny part? I was growing up during all of this, and I still somehow missed it… oh, right, my parents didn’t let us have video game consoles in the house. Which was probably wise. On the other hand, my eldest is starting to make some SWEET stuff in Minecraft.
And so, adieu to Beowulf: A Translation and Commentary. Which is still sitting on the desk at home, tanjit. Oops…
