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.

A Bunch of Liars
Via The Birmingham News:
[...] The jury's foreman delivered the verdict shortly after 1:30 p.m. and Circuit Judge James Garrett asked Cherry, 71, whether he had anything to say. The man who years ago beat blacks with brass knuckles and pistol butts stood, turned and pointed to the white prosecutors who sent him to prison for life. He called one a punk.

"This whole bunch lied all the way through this thing," Cherry said. "I told the truth. I don't know why I'm going to jail for nothing." [...]
Awfully bold talk for a man portrayed by his attorneys as unable to assist in his own defense.
