Catching up

I don't seem to have much time to post lately. I've been very busy at work, and the amount I've been playing Kingdom of Loathing during non-work hours since the KoL powers-that-be implemented the new ascension feature earlier this month also has something to do with it, I'm sure.

Slackivist on what Guantanamo Bay means to America.

Mark Morford columns I'm just now reading:
Die Die SUVs Please Die
Bush, the spoiled man-child

Jeff Jarvis on the BTK confession

That Memphis "therapy" group that is running what essentially seems to be a brain-washing camp for gay teens is under investigation by the state of Tennessee. About time.

You can buy a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Hampton Roads, Va., for only $2.5 million.

In the case of the woman who disappeared at sea from the Galveston-based cruise ship Elation, it wasn't an accident and wasn't a crime, say authorities. They are not commenting further, but that pretty much rules out everything but suicide, doesn't it?

(Which reminds me, one of the other Carnival ships that sails out of Galveston is called the Ecstasy. That name cracks me up. You might as well just call it the Orgasm.)
