Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

American Stuff
Once again, my pen pal Moira Breen gives us a good lesson in the importance of looking out over the gunwales every once in a while--

[...] there're a few who say "Enough of the Eurotrash!", or "write about American stuff". To the latter I say, nuts to you, gentle reader. Not that I don't and won't write mainly about "American stuff". But what the "Eurotrash" are saying, and what the mad mullahs think, and, most importantly and horrifically within the last few weeks, what is going on in the homeland of that man "from Asia" is "American stuff".

This is not some schoolmarmish plea for "understanding the roots of terror" blah blah blah. Rather, I'm disturbed by the idea of clueless young Americans wandering the earth, unaware of and unable to intelligently debate or counter "evil U.S." arguments.

Amen.
