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.

Four U.S. Soldiers Injured in Afghanistan

BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Four American soldiers were injured when a helicopter tossed debris into the air as it landed in eastern Afghanistan, U.S. military officials said on Wednesday.

Two special operations troops received head injuries, one suffered a broken hand and wrist while the fourth received a minor cut on the hand as the massive CH-47 Chinook came in to land near Asadabad, spokesman Colonel Roger King said. [...]

Quickly claiming credit, an unnamed al-Queda spokesman said "Yes, praise to Allah, our very alive leader, Sheik Osama, who is alive, has planted many such traps of debris all over the world to foil the landings of imperialists whores of Satan. Do not think this was some accident! Since he is alive, and only wounded, and much better now, he is able to bid the djin to cause the rocks, and twigs, and small limbs up to about 3 centimeters, to rise up and smite with righteous fury the wickedness of the infidel. Which he could not do if he were dead, now could he?"
