Thank you, Parents
July 30, 2006
On behalf of Israel I would just like to thank the parents of the 37 children killed at Qana for their patience and understanding as Israel continues to clean up some issues in their neighborhood. Also, on Behalf of Hezbollah, I would like to thank those same parents for allowing Hezbollah to use the building next door for a rocket launching pad.
LO, THIS is the tarantula’s den! Would’st thou see the tarantula itself? Here hangeth its web: touch this, so that it may tremble.
There cometh the tarantula willingly: Welcome, tarantula! Black on thy back is thy triangle and symbol; and I know also what is in thy soul.
Revenge is in thy soul: wherever thou bitest, there ariseth black scab; with revenge, thy poison maketh the soul giddy!
…
Therefore do I tear at your web, that your rage may lure you out of your den of lies, and that your revenge may leap forth from behind your word “justice.”
Because, for man to be redeemed from revenge- that is for me the bridge to the highest hope, and a rainbow after long storms.
Otherwise, however, would the tarantulas have it. “Let it be very justice for the world to become full of the storms of our vengeance”- thus do they talk to one another.
“Vengeance will we use, and insult, against all who are not like us”- thus do the tarantula-hearts pledge themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche - Thus Spake Zarathustra - The Tarantulas
Which coming generation will be the Great Generation in the Middle east; the generation of both Arab and Jew, that stands up and renounces revenge, renounces war, and makes peace? This indeed will be a rainbow after long storms.

A little dnb insanity. The samples are from a 1928 BBC reporter’s reading of Blake’s Jerusalem on the occasion of the General Strike of that year.

This is funny, but it is more true than funny.
Let the facts speak for themselves

From Reuters today:
Hizbollah rockets have killed 18 civilians across northern Israel since the conflict erupted when the militia seized two Israeli soldiers and killed eight others in a cross-border raid on July 12. It has fired more than 1,400 rockets into Israel.
Israel’s offensive against the Shi’ite group has killed 418 people in Lebanon, mostly civilians.
And from the BBC:
UN peacekeepers in south Lebanon contacted Israeli troops 10 times before an Israeli bomb killed four of them, an initial UN report says.
The post was hit by a precision-guided missile after six hours of shelling, diplomats familiar with the probe say.
Drupal: Merlin strikes again with Panels module
July 25, 2006
Just have a look at the latest from merlinofchaos.
This is the configuration interface behind the “add” tab of Panels Module. Panels is designed to let you put content in different areas on a page using different types of layouts. You can choose from the pre-configured layouts, or roll your own. All I can say is, if you are looking for a non-drupal look without writing themes by hand, go try it.
