    It’d be nice to hear some long-ago voices again. If you’re just cruising in, feel free to leave me a voice message. It’s like voicemail, online. Very kewl, etc. Because one of the things about living abroad is, you don’t hear many of your friends’ voices for extended periods of time. Which sux.

    Those Mohammed Cartoons

    by  • February 28, 2006 • WTF • 6 Comments

It’s not as if your media doesn’t make nasty cartoons too, you know. Now, I know that it’s considered wrong to depict Mohammed,...

    The Discards of Spring
