This is my favorite non-political blog.

Q: Does your face hurt?

A: Well it's killing me!

I hope he can't read English.

I must confess that I have been microwaving CDs for years. It is always a good show - it looks much like it does in the picture, although I would guess that the picture's exposure was perhaps one-half second or more.

In my experience having microwaved scores of CDs in scores of microwaves over the past 20 years, the only repercussions are that (A) the CD is absolutely destroyed and (B) the event smells like burnt plastic for a few minutes afterwards.

I hated India - absolutely hated it - but was fascinated by it and remain fascinated by it. In spite of my hatred for the place I have a strange desire to return to explore it again.

It is a strange, wonderful, terrible, magical, tragic, beautiful and ugly place.

What a wonderfully bizarre story.

hehe - I thought I was the only one!

My understanding (from using "the Google") is that it's "hard work" but we're "turning corners" and we've "broken the back of the insurgency" which is clearly in it's "last throes."
