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.

Arafat Leaves His Compound
From the AP, via USA TODAY

[...] At his Ramallah compound, Arafat appeared to shake with anger as he received word of the fire at the Church of the Nativity.

"How could the world possibly be silent about this atrocious crime," he told Palestinian supporters and journalists who rushed into his offices after the Israelis pulled out of his compound.

"I don't care if this room I'm sitting in blows up. What concerns me is what is happening at the Church of the Nativity. This is a crime that cannot be forgiven." [...]


"So in the interest of fighting this crime, I hereby order the gunmen inside to release all of their hostages, and surrender immediately. This is not the way Moslems should fight, and the men should be ashamed of bringing reproach upon Islam by breaking into the Christian holy places."




"Ahahaha! Just joking, silly infidels! I really fooled you! I could care less if they blow the joint sky high."
