Posted on entry Why Barack Obama can kiss my ass ::: August 01, 2006, 11:41 AM:
I'd like to thank Patrick for making a point of mentioning that this was happening in southern Delaware in the subject line. I'm not saying that anti-Semitism doesn't happen in northern Delaware (there have been instances of grafitti and the like around northern DE in the past couple of years), it's just that north of the C&D Canal, people tend to be more... (civilized? cosmopolitan?) polite. Southern Delaware is like unto a completely separate state.

I'm so desperately ashamed of my native state, and that's never happened before. I want to kick every last lawmaker in the state into standing up and condemning what's happened to the Dobriches. I can hardly wait to go visit and find out what's been going on from the side of the Jewish community in Lewes and environs (have friends involved there).

The Blizzard of '78 comes to mind. IIRC, that thing had an eye and everything.

This page has a satellite photo of the Blizzard of '78. Huuuuuuuuuuuuge. Scary! And that looks like an eye to me.

I would not want to bet that they won't start popping up out-of-season, either.

I think it was last year that a tropical storm formed before the season started, and it may've been a year or two before that when we had a tropical storm in December.

We've broken our planet!

I want very much to read the version of the story that these 2 women are putting together, because, really, it sounds so much more interesting than the original.

I remember reading the books the first time in high school. I sat on my bed with an old dictionary next to me. I referred to said dictionary at least once per page. As an adult, I thought, "Gosh, I vaguely remember these books and they are bountifully available at used bookstores everywhere. I shall re-read them, and surely with 10 years of vocabulary expansion under my belt, I won't need the dictionary!"

I was wrong.

But, then again, I only got as far as the rape before thinking, "Um, WHAT?" and flinging the book across the room. Tried looking at the second trilogy, remembering a female lead, but she was AWFUL. And Covenant was just as atrocious.

Now I wonder whether Donaldson is just as unpleasant as his character.
