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.

CNN Ordered Out of Baghdad
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq ordered Cable News Network (CNN), the U.S. television news channel, to leave Iraq on Friday and accused it of being a propaganda machine.

CNN, on air, said it was "sad to learn" that its four-strong team in Baghdad was being expelled.

"CNN has been ordered out of Iraq...because they have become a propaganda tool to spread lies and rumors," said an information ministry official who declined to be identified.

CNN, based in Atlanta, Georgia, said its staff would probably have to travel overland to Jordan. [...]
Considering the news reports, instead of having to drive to Jordan, you fellows might be able to ask the nice man in the Humvee downstairs for a ride to the airport, if you can hang around for a day or so.
