What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding?

Thanks for your concern. My little family and circle of friends and acquaintances has so far survived safely the ongoing assault in Mumbai. It's disturbing and saddening because the city is by nature very open, freewheeling, and nevertheless safe. This well-planned and coldly executed operation is like a war practiced on unarmed non-combatants - , yes, "innocent bystanders" like you and me who hadn't a clue they were engaged in mortal battle.
It's a massive bummer to see the places you frequent and the people you see everyday being savaged on TV by clear-eyed, baby-faced soldiers.
I'm hoping it doesn't escalate -- here or anywhere else.

Election Day

Well, well, a president of African-American descent who's younger than I am.  That's pretty cool.  Of course I expect we'll still need those exploding meat puppets, same as ever.
