Okay, I’ve become annoyed enough that it’s time to simplify this blog.
The first to go: WPG2. I hardly knew you, but while I did, you were nothing but a pain in the ass. Good bye.
I haven’t decided about the K2 theme yet. There’s potential here — if it’s ever finished. Moreover, changing something as simple as the headline font requires hacking around in CSS. While some people love that stuff, I can think of other things I’d rather do, like stick my hand in a fan.
But what would I replace K2 with? I thought about going back to blog.txt, but it doesn’t render tag clouds correctly. And, 95% of all other themes out either have garish colors, cutesy graphics, or are just plain ugly. So, my search continues.
Here’s a serious story with an unfortunate headline:
France plans revolution in space

I’m sorry, but I just can’t help but imagine zero-G guillotines.
I went to unplug my flash drive, and the circuit board pulled right out of the flimsy plastic case.
It looks like I’ll have to break out some glue.

Fortunately, switching out of TF2 long enough to save the screenshot seemed to resolve the problem, at least temporarily — the break gave the video card a chance to cool down.
Anti-Obama blogs locked on Blogger:
I spoke to several of the bloggers who had accounts locked and every single one was convinced that it was Obama supporters who had flagged the blogs in some kind of concerted effort to silence them. But when I asked for specific evidence of this, most simply pointed out that only anti-Obama blogs were targeted — a fact that is certainly suspicious but not especially conclusive.
Not all members of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy are exactly unimpeachable, but this kind of chicanery seems more prevalent among the Left.
An exercise in irony:
Ret. Gen. Clark: McCain lacks command experience
Sun Jun 29, 10:28 PM ET
WASHINGTON - Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, a former Democratic presidential candidate now supporting Barack Obama, said Sunday John McCain’s military service does not automatically qualify him to be commander in chief.
Underscoring during a national television appearance a position he has been expressing for several weeks, Clark said performing heroic military service is not a substitute for gaining command experience.
So, Mr. Clark, does your candidate have “command experience”?
And this guy wants to be our president:
An advisor, Daniel Kurtzer, to Barack Obama says that Obama didn’t realize what he was saying to AIPAC when he used the term ”undivided” in reference to Jerusalem.
Holy crap, that’s just bad.
