That's no applet, that's an EMBED.

But what's the point? It's a John Lennon song, OK.

Then there's this.

I resist the idea that my link should have a 'point'. This is a weblog, not a forensic competition.

I strongly favor the idea that links should have a 'point'. This is a weblog, not a scrap heap.

I thought it was clear that the language of my Lennon quote equaled a 'Bush is bad' point.

Gotcha. It just took me a while to adjust my mindset.

See, all it would have taken was a link to Bush's latest "Good is winning over Evil" speech, coupled with the Lennon page, to make this a decent post. Instead, we're gonna have us a rasslin' match over the "point" of "weblogs", "scrap heaps" and "forensic competitions".

Anyway, I appreciate the reference. When I grow up, I wanna be John Lennon.

Well, it is possible that I am being obscure for no good reason. I doubt that I could invent better invective against the President than 'short-haired yellow-bellied son of tricdky dicky', so I serve it up here. I'll try and do better next time. I am a 2-time Clinton voter, one time Gore, but I will see you in Hell before I vote Lieberman!

Not me. I want to live past forty.

Um, geez. When I grow up, I wanna be Lou Reed. Yeah, that's it.

I think I am the only person alive who, as a teenager, had a huge crush on Laurie Anderson.
