The opening to George Carlin's website:


This web site contains real human language.

This is an early warning system for the faint of heart.
Apparently, there are many people unable to cope with spoken and written language as developed by humans up to this point.

Ye gods, what next??

Translation from the German via rothko's LJ: Rumsfeld advisor demands Schroeders resignation


Shrub and his ilk have a lot of nerve... especially given how his campaign was run! And then there's the lack of a real election win...

This week's Free Will Astrology

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Evelyn Glennie is one of the world's most renowned solo percussionists. She has performed with many top orchestras, has released 13 albums, and has won a Grammy. She is also profoundly deaf. Most people imagine her hearing difficulty is a huge obstacle to playing music, but it's so irrelevant to Glennie's work that it's barely mentioned on her Web site. Let's make this the starting point for your meditations this week, Libra. Is there any activity you've assumed you'll never do because of what you consider a natural barrier or incapacity? The astrological omens suggest it's high time to reconsider that dogma. Make Evelyn Glennie your patron saint.



Something to ponder...

Jordanian Woman Attacks Harassers
Sun Sep 22,11:49 AM ET

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) - All that was missing was the Wonder Woman costume.

Witnesses say a Jordanian woman ripped off her enveloping black cloak and veil - to reveal a traditional long dress that was nearly as enveloping - and punched and kicked into submission three young men who had been verbally harassing her.

The official Petra News Agency reported Sunday that shopkeepers and passers-by believe the unidentified woman must have had martial arts training. In Friday's incident on the main street in Zarqa 13 miles north Amman, the three men were too shocked to react at first and ended up knocked to the ground, screaming in pain. They then scrambled up and fled.

The woman quoted the title of a song made famous by the late Egyptian star Umm Kalthoum - "patience has its limits" - before continuing on her way as a crowd cheered her.

Petra quoted witnesses as saying the three men had regularly directed obscenities at the woman as she walked in the area. It was not clear if they harassed other women as well.

(Can't believe I'm saying this, but- You GO, girl!)
