Here is his description of a terror bombing of a cafe. He wrote it about Serb (I think) terrorists blowing up a cafe just before WWI - but it’s just as relevant today.
"One thing to try and keep to an honorable deal with your dead," it seemed to Reef, "another to just go spreading death any way you can. Don’t tell me I’m infected with bourgeois values. I’ve got to where I like these cafes, all this to-and-fro of the city life - rather be out here enjoying it than worried all the time about some bomb going off-" which is of course exactly when it happened. so unexpected and so loud that for many days afterward those who survived would not be certain it had really occurred, any more than believe someone had actually desired to send such long-evolved and death-bought civility into this great blossoming of disintegration - a dense, prolonged shower of glass fragments, green and clear and amber and black, from windows, mirrors and drinking glasses, carafes and bottles of absinthe, wine, fruit syrups, whiskey of many ages and origins, human blood everywhere, blood arterial, venous and capillary, fragments of bone and cartilage and soft tissue, wood splinters of all sizes from the furniture, shrapnel of tin, zinc and brass, from torn ragged sheets down to the tiny nails in picture frames, nitrous fumes, fluid unfurlings of smoke too black to see through - a huge, glittering passage skyward and back again, outward and across the street and down the block, passing through the rays of a completely indifferent noontide sun, like a long heliograph message sent too fast for any but angels of destruction to read."
Yep, pretty much all one sentence, or perhaps one stanza of prose poetry. I defy anyone to find a better, more emotive description of the subject.
So Noel, quit feeling sorry for me. Everybody should read a bit of Pynchon, just to experience stuff like this.

Says the Zette, citing Amendment 2 and overturning the city’s same-sex benefits—but surprisingly, not Focus. Um, didn’t we know this before?
The good news is that even with scowly, I-hate-me-some-gays members on Council, the Diversity Forum helped push through an all-inclusive diversity festival. But this reeks to me of too little, too late—if the city really wanted to reject its current image, it’d turn its back on the groups who give it a bad name. Groups like Focus, who clearly have the city government in their pocket. (Look, for instance, at how whole-heartedly city government embraces the Day of Prayer horseshit.) Boot out the bigots, and you’ve automatically got a more tolerant city. Doi.

I hate to cite the Gazette, but apparently 5 squirrels and a rabbit have died in Denver within the past week. In true GT panic-inducing fashion, instead if telling us more about the story they proceed to give us the history of the plague, along with these helpful tips:
AVOIDING THE PLAGUE
To protect yourself from plague, health officials recommend:
- Don’t handle dead rodents, and report animal die-offs to the El Paso County Department of Health and Environment at 575-8635.
- Keep cats indoors. Cats, more than dogs, are highly susceptible to plague.
- Treat pets for fleas.
- Clear property of lumber piles and trash bins, where rodents often live or hide.
- Take down feeders that might attract squirrels.

I really want some Popeye’s fried chicken.
Hi, how are you? Fine I hope, but I’m starving. Man, what I wouldn’t give for a box of Popeye’s fried chicken. Yes, I know that whenever someone eats a box of Popeye’s fried chicken a child dies in India… but I can’t help myself! I love the stuff. Sometimes I’ll get a box of Popeye’s fried chicken and scrape off all the meat and skin into a bowl, and combine that with some mashed potatoes and gravy and crumbled up biscuits. Then I mix it all up in a blender, and eat every last bit in front of the TV while watching Meg Ryan movies. I LOVE POPEYE’S FRIED CHICKEN!

The only reasonable voice in last evening’s Debate was Mike Gravel, too bad that Americans are too afraid to elect an honest and intelligent President.

Slog linked yesterday to this excerpt from Bill Moyers’ PBS special Buying the War. It’s brilliant, and exhaustive and downright terrifying. History will not be kind to the current administration.
Do watch, and there’s more information on the special here.
