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.

Democrat to give NRA keynote for first time since 1991
RENO, Nev. (AP) -- This weekend, Georgia Sen. Zell Miller will become the first Democrat in more than a decade to give the keynote address to the National Rifle Association's annual meeting.

The first-term senator has criticized fellow Democrats for failing to understand issues important to rural voters in the South and elsewhere, including gun rights. He contends that cost Al Gore the 2000 presidential campaign. [...]

Democrats in the South will remember Gore as only the third Democrat since the Civil War to lose not only every state in the old Confederacy, but two border states as well, Miller said. The two others, George McGovern and Walter Mondale, "had an excuse because they were crushed in national landslides," Miller said. "For a politician in the South, gun control is not just about guns," he wrote. "Gun control -- along with a whole bunch of other issues -- is about values."
