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.

Wow.
[...] Seymour Topping, the administrator of the prizes, said Carroll consulted with others on the 17-member board before accepting Goodwin's resignation, which was effective Friday.

An inquiry being conducted on the plagiarism charge "is now moot," he said.

Elected members of the Pulitzer board serve a maximum of nine years, and stand for re-election every three years. Goodwin, who was in her fourth year, had been re-elected in November 2001. [...]
Moot, huh. My, my; glad we don't have to go through THAT rigamarole.
