Ex-Marine Says Public Version of Saddam Capture Fiction
I'm a little skeptical of this story too. For one thing, why make up a different capture story? The guy was still captured and I don't see what it would gain to have this other story.

And, with even more good news, they just announced that Oak Park (where both ChiKat and I live--howdy, neighbor!) is getting a Trader Joe's (at the corner of Harlem and Ontario, FYI). Finally!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And yet, I also find myself skeptical of the "official" US version of any events in the war over there, particularly the media spectacles like Jessica Lynch or Saddam's capture.
It's almost as if you're implying government-sponsored press in wartime is unreliable... next you'll be telling me I can't believe everything I read on the internet.
Speaking of which, Blogs apparently not as widely read as all that.

Well it demoralizes SH and sends a message to the insurgents that their fearless leader was hiding in filth and squalor and not planning the great redemption.

Hi Cindy! I haven't really gone anywhere, I've merely started supporting myself in email.
Work, life, the usual reasons.

I remember you saying you'd be scarce, but you've been too scarce.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I rock at the knowing where stuff goes, and then keep dragging things to some point 2 pixels away from where it wants them to go. Feh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It took me a while to realise that it's not where the organ is, so much as the tip of your mouse pointer. That was annoying.
