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.

Awww. Poor things...

Saudis Say Criticism of Them Is Unfair
WASHINGTON (AP) - Saying that Saudi Arabia has been unfairly criticized, a Saudi official is laying out the steps his country is taking to cut off money to terrorists.

Saudi foreign policy adviser Adel al-Jubeir spoke to reporters at the Saudi embassy in Washington. He's responding to allegations that charitable donations from Saudis may have ended up in the hands of terrorists.
Yeah, life's like that Sparky--plain ol' normal billionaires just can't get a break from those mean, unfair infidels who would rather not have their arms and legs forcibly separated from them by random car bombs planted by nice, sweet, charity-deserving martyrs. Good to see that although you think the criticism is unfair, you are about to take the initial steps to maybe begin to possibly curtail the alleged behavior that prompted the criticism in the first place.
Al-Jubeir says his country has been active in fighting terrorism, and says he finds the latest allegations "very shocking." [...]
Uh oh--someone's been watching Casablanca again! Round up the usual suspects, eh? Well, Captain Renault, it is heartening to know that you are on the case. I feel so much better.
