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.

Hawk Girl Emily Jones offers a comparison of Bush's 'axis of evil' comment to that of ignorant cowboy-unilateralist Ron Reagan's about tearing down the Berlin Wall--

My grandmother was born in Berlin in 1907. She saw the city through two world wars and years of being divided. On November 9, 1989, I remember walking in the front door, and seeing her leap to her feet, with her arms stretched out and tears in her eyes because, partly as a result of U.S. efforts during the Cold War, that nasty wall was finally coming down. I can't tell you how much it means to me that she got to see that before dying a few years later.

My point being, that Reagan was right. I'm willing to take the chance that Bush is, too.
