I haven't been blogging much lately because the Abandon Mythology Command Bunker has temporarily become my guitar-building shop. My regular old wood shop is not climate controlled and when it comes to musical instruments, humidity bad. And humid is how we do it in Misery in the summertime.

Anyway Ray DeRousse over at The Rec tagged me a couple weeks ago in my comments section and I've been struggling with a post in response ever since. I was supposed to write about 8 things people don't know about me and then tag 8 other bloggers to do the same. It's just not working out for me, though. First off, I don't even know 8 other bloggers, and second, I can't come up with 8 things about myself that are even remotely interesting. It's pitiful how boring my life is. Especially after reading Ray's post. It was hilarious. I can't link to it because they are experiencing technical difficulties over at The Rec (they got hacked and are having to rebuild). I guess I just have to admit defeat on this one. I thought about just making some shit up, but my wife pops in here from time to time just to make sure I'm not getting mixed up with a bad crowd and she frowns on prevarication.

So I'm moving on. Check out this little nugget I snagged from CNN's comments the day of the latest terrorist attacks in great Britain. You know, the one's where a half-dozen religiously insane men with three cars and a bunch of gasoline and propane couldn't even manage to kill anyone? Someone calling himself Tanster posted this:

Why does the UK continue to put up with this? Why are the "2000 suspects" not immediately rounded up and summarily executed or turned into organ donors or subjects for medical experimentation (they are not worth the potential information they could provide)? Why coddle people whose primary aim is to inflict massive casualties on civilians with mere prison sentences at taxpayer expense? Terrorists owe a massive debt to society (just like mass murderers and serial killers) that prison time or even execution cannot repay but usage as spare parts or subjects for hazardous medical experiments might at least provide some benefit to the societies that they damage. And their progeny should also be sterilized and closely monitored afterwards to ensure that their genetic heritage be removed from the human gene pool forever and so that no terroristic tendencies surface for their remaining lifetimes, respectively.

Yep, while British police were making arrests and cleaning up and the rest of Britain was getting on with their lives, the American right-wing was shitting their collective pants in fear, to the point where people like Tanster want to go all Josef Mengele on anyone with a swarthy look about them. I tell you, either this guy represents the whacked-out, spittle-spraying lunatic fringe that results from 6 years of our government using scare tactics and fear-mongering to sell all manner of invasion and occupation and torture and death and destruction as self-defense...or I do. One of us is fucking crazy.
