“Bang bang?” That part of the lyrics has always made me laugh, even though I like the song. “The Warrior,” Scandal Note: as I said the first time, this is music lip-synched by drag-queens, not written or recorded by them.

Troll musings (cranky-d)
Has anyone figured out what motivates a troll? I have no idea, though I’ve been trying to understand. I don’t try too hard, though, since I have the feeling that I would be wasting effort. One of my posts recently got a drive-by hit with a laundry list of grievances, real and imagined, and then 15 minutes later got a “Well, are you going to answer?” follow-up. I guess I’m

I swear to God, someone is fucking manipulating this thing. That’s the only possible explanation.

To lighten my post-election blues, I’m listening to Cat Steven’s “Morning Has Broken” on my I-Pod.

Man I tell you, this thing has three speeds: fast, faster, and boogie. And right now I’m the fucking dance floor at the annual epileptic’s clog festival.
New Homeland for Jews? [Dan Collins]
The Pacific Ocean has given birth to a new volcanic island near Tonga, according to ocean-going eyewitnesses. Crew on board a yacht called the “Maiken” believed they were the first to see a volcanic island forming a day out from Neiafu, Tonga, while sailing towards Fiji in August, the Matangi Tonga news website reported Wednesday. “One mile in diameter and with four peaks and a central crater smoking with steam
