at the Coke Lite's last streaming...
I've been terribly remiss; alternately too wiped out and too busy to reply to the many, thoughtful comments and emails I've gotten in the last few days (All hail Anson McDonald! And his junior cousins, Lyle Monroe, John Riverside, Caleb Saunders, Simon York! Without whom, “Astounding” magazine would have had to give up and just start calling itself the “Heinlein Monthly”.)
Or to take up a certain, very kind offer to guest blog elsewhere.
Or to update my template to reflect changes, corrections and an RSS feed (After approximately an hour, blogger's gag reflex kicks in at about the 44% mark and doesn't budge an inch after that. Screwing around with Blogger becomes ever more eerily like trying to date Virginia Madsen; after a few tries, wisdom and ego demand that I move on to more realistic, immediate and high-ROI tasks...)
Hell, I've got a perfectly functional iPod just sitting in its box, mocking me for want of time to actually sit down and transfer tunes from my heap-o-CDs to its capacious innards.
Or to wrap a few dozen words around this Photoshop doodle
of Holy Joe and his new "Bullshit Moose Party" I knocked together between other tasks.
("Bullshit Moose Party" is the winner of Atrios' naming contest. Who, I am sure, was commanded to run said contest by Maximum Blogger for Life Markos, whom we all serve. Though Arianna be the wiser.)
Which, should it ever get written, should probably be entitled "Being Joe Lieberman."
Should it ever get written.
So late on this 230st anniversary of American liberty, I'll leave you with this goofy, refreshing and effervescent celebration of festive yet non-combustible chemistry.
And my best to you, one and all.

Just a minor suggestion, but shouldn't that be Chuck Schumer's phiz on Rocket J. Squirrel? ;-)
"Nothin' up mah sleeve..."
And the link was priceless.
Anyway, we just hate it when you let trivialities like keeping body and soul together get in the way of blogging. ;-)
Hope you're getting some good R & R.
Well, we had the orgasmic thrust into the cosmos, which we all know was carefully timed for a mutual orgasm for the base.
Of course, they're REAL pissed the the North Koreans, did some thrusting of their own, however ineptly.
The swine! Ejaculating on OUR Independence Day.
In other news, it's come out that the two soldiers recently captured and killed and mutilated by the insurgents in Mamoudiyah, were part of the same platoon, as Steven Green, who is being charged in the rape-murder of the 15 year old Iraqi girl. (That really was her age, despite Centcom's efforts to retroactively age her.)
Green was discharged and sent home SOME period of time after the crime was committed, for "personality problems. (The discharge was honorable.) Gonna be hard for people, especially, Iraqi people, to think that Centcom was doing anything but trying to cover up the crime.
(Now that it's out, Green has been charged in N.C. Federal Court, with rape and murder. 4 other soldiers being investigated are on base restriction, in Iraq.)
There is a lot more interest on the part of the Iraqis in talking about this, than there is in Maliki's "reconciliation plan".
And, the girl had two brothers who were away when she and the rest of her family were murdered.
I bet they really appreciate all the candy and soccer balls our troops are passing out. And wouldn't think of helping the insurgents.
DG- thanks for poking your nose in to give a status report. So much raw material being generated every day it's hard for the full time bloggers to keep up. And I'll bet the cat has been eyeballing that iPod for the last few days, knowing that musical bliss is only a few keystrokes away.
Rest up, cause this month things are going to get heavy in Iraq.
We most appreciate the update, Sir DG, but personalizing your iPod must be a higher priority than the task of further sharing your singular political commentary skills with us.
Man cannot live by snark alone -- nay, there must be commercial-free music resonating through Castle Driftglass, and soon. The iPod is your 21st-century equivalent of WCFL, so get on with your CD-ripping efforts!
I'm glad to see you back, DG.
Lieberman made the middle of my Assclown list and also received the Jellyfish/Prick of the Week Award.
Not sure if you're talking about my offer but it stands for-ev-ah. You're the best, Drifty.
