It was totally dark when I got up this morning; the snow had made sort of a layer of fog and it was hard to judge the real time… But by now it's pretty much cleared up again… But it's quite pretty, and my picture doesn't really do it justice. There's also a lot of wind, so giant gusts of snow are all over the place.
It was hard to do the BME news feed update this morning — the news is totally swamped with tattoo stories (well, one story repeated over and over) about the Anna Kournikova non-tattoo. But I think I found a few interesting ones at least, even just the anecdotal ones like this one about a casino robber on the run who got tattoos and piercings as a disguise, or this one about a vegetarian artist who wants to tattoo piglets.
Something scary that I realized; the anti-war movement is very strong right now; perhaps stronger than it ever has been historically. Even smalltown America is on the whole opposed. Given that even though the American public and the international community is opposed to war, one has to wonder why America can't stop warmongering…
…and one has to really wonder what scam the government will cook up to rally the people behind the flag — the war flag that is — again (whether they DID IT or not, everyone has to admit that Bush et al has used 9/11 in absolutely disgusting ways to guarantee that far more corpses litter this planet). But here's the kicker: do you know when President Bush decided to invade Iraq? On paper, the decision was Sept 17 2001. It's totally loony and absolutely contrary to any notion of international law…
