None of the Above

by Marble

Forcrying out loud we have debate about solid scientific models in this country, how can those percieving bias on the other side be considered in any way legitimate? I agree with Machiavelli, perception is reality. But that is only in politics because politics is artifice. It aims at misrepresenting the world. If you take that as the basis of your reality, then of course there is no objective perspective. What then is the point of communication? Solely bending others to your will?

Heh, cool: I found a couple of things worth blogging. First, via the incomparable Plurp, a page about St. Dymphna, patron saint of insanity and mental disorders, among other things. Neato! Maybe I'll have to get a little icon card of her at some point. Man, the Catholic church's card collection has got Pokemon beat - let's see those little monsters intercede for the oppressed, eh? I didn't think so!

(As a side note, Plurp is just about the last place I would have expected to find such a thing - a reference to any saint, much less one that I would find personally so applicable. Just goes to show, the forces of chaos are hard at work, putting the most unlikely things in the most unlikely places.)

Also, via my Girl Genius list that I'm on, someone posted this advice column from Dr. Hell. It's rather amusing, with every answer somehow involving huge destructive robots. I like it very much.

The fact that the sun finally came out today after umpteen days of rain and dreariness may have something to do with a slight brightening of my mood and actual posting of links to other sites, instead of my usual droning whine. So thank that big yellow thing in the sky, dear readers.
