The White Peril 白禍

My searches are still not up to Toren's levels of weirdness, but the first half of September has produced a few, uh, winners. "Princesses in peril" would be my favorite were it not ten times more fabulous than my real blog name. For that, I'm simply obligated to hate it.

I also apparently came up for "korean gay flight attendants," my education about which has depended on a lamentably small (if promising) sample.

There was an entry for "beach uninhibitedness." I assume that was one of them heteraseckshals being dissolute and can only hope that my example of discreet chastity made an impression.

Someone searched for "teresa heinz kerry only an idiot health care," which strikes me as containing more linear logic and point than any position I've heard emanating from the actual Kerry-Edwards campaign.

And I think I was most touched by "how do you detect your wife having a lesbian affair," to which I can only say, Don't look at me, buddy!

But good luck. Maybe keep an eye on that friend she made in her self-defense class....

My fast-track career has kept me pretty busy this week, but before the day is too far in the past, I wanted to say happy 2nd blog-iversary to Amritas. Marc doesn't just rant about the left--funny as he is when he does--he also affirms his love for America well and often. While his posts on linguistics are often so specialized they make my head spin, even there, he always has an unshowily intelligent comment about how the mind works, or how we convert thoughts into sentences, that makes the reading worth the effort. And his personal kindness has made him a friend [swelling orchestral music] across the ocean that separates our respective archipelagos of collectivism. Glad you're still around, man.
