Wednesday morining

First of all, happy birthday to elementalmuse, one of the few LJ friends I didn't know before whom I have met in real life, assuming the reality of that seeming continent over there on the other side of the Hudson.

I am alone in my cube, and will be so until Christmas. The cube next door is unoccupied and will be for the rest of the year, reducing the burden of hysteria and abuse, not only on my humble workstation, but on the Northwest corner of the twelfth floor.

Nevertheless I am not, for various reasons, in a particularly good mood. Must be the weather. Or the time of year.

I don't even feel like forwarding my usual political quotes. Though I will invite those who are interested in such things to look at Jim Lobe's take on developments at the White House.

It does seem fairly certain that the unspeakable Neocons are on their way out, having done immeasurable damage to the nation and to the world.

Though the Democrats may bring them back in if the Likudnik jihadists, the Forth World Warriors, manage to stop Dean and carry the general election.

I need to update and expand my 9/11 essay.

I was down in Ground Zero Saturday for the first time since (I suppose) September 10, '01, riding the PATH to Grove Street and back, leaving from and returning to the very bottom of the World Trade Center site. I must do it again.

Grove Street, where my paternal grandfather was born a century and a quarter ago.

Euphoria Tapes

Silly curiosity: Has anybody out there heard these suckers, or even used them as instructed?

I remember some brain wave tapes in the '70s that were actually fairly amusing, wonder about what's out there now...

Maybe Not So Orthodox After All

Clive Staples Lewis has been perhaps the single most useful tool of Satan since his appearance in the Christian community sometime around World War II. With his strong belief in non-denominational Christianity, which he termed "mere Christianity", and his apparent orthodoxy in doctrine, the influence of his pen has reached across many years. When the light of God's Holy Bible is focused upon his writings, however, his heresy and outright love of Satan comes into bold focus.

Though a highly acclaimed and widely published "Christian" author, when judged by his own words with the King James Bible it becomes clear that he was indeed a fool in the most extreme sense of the word, yet a very subtle one that was and is extremely useful to his father the devil.

Thank you, digbydolben for this most enlightening link!

Ah, so!
