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.

Fun in the County of Oranges
Lileks' Newhouse column of today, in which he acts all inclusive and impartial--

But in today's culture, the people who value "sensitivity" more than sense will flourish and thrive. And it's instructive that it took a public outcry for the Red Cross to admit that they acted like -- well, like neutral impartial universalists.

The CEO of the Orange County Red Cross makes $171K a year, and one suspects he will make that much next year, too. One hates to think the Red Cross would use contributions to pay for a bonus to award good spin control. One doubts that would happen.

At this point, however, one wouldn't be surprised at all.


Shocked! SHOCKED!
