No way this is serious...for God's sake-they listen to Hanson. A dead giveaway that this is some kind of Friday the 13th prank by one of the regulars.

OK

How in the hell do you expect to get

some kind of internship at a Washington publication

when you cannot even get the simplest English grammar correct?

Blooming Idiot.

That site is hysterical. Intentionally?

"A wrong war like during the Iraq war was cannot just be sitted idly by by." --The Proprietor

TOO DAMN FUNNY

I am now officially drinking after reading that blog!!

This is a parody.

There is a link to "Retardo Montalban" Now that is awesome!

I agree - this must be a joke:

"A wrong war like during the Iraq war was cannot just be sitted idly by by." --The Proprietor

You've got to be kidding.
LMAO

Of course, in my own blog, I do take more care to create lovingly posts with (avec) better composure. This is (it's well-known) one of the benefits of the blog format as opposed to IRC etc., you can kick back and (with the help of dictionary, thesaurus, Strunk White etc.) take the time to arrange your thoughts and present them in a presentable (not dispresentable) fashion.

LMAO

Wow, just wow. I either need to be drunker or more sober, what the hell does that "blog" say?

I have an idea! Let's drink and laugh at that fool!

Scroll down a little to August 11, the blogger alludes to
going to law school?!

I check spelling ALOT (Webster's - beside me @ all times) but some misteaks slip through, So tipical to harp on that when can't refutre my substance

ROTFL

Oh my god. If this is not an extremely sophisticated parody, this site has got to be the most ludicrous blog in history. Example:

his not to say that Matthew Yglesias and Oliver Willis homosexuals in real life. Though, they could be AFIAK, and if they were, that would be Something to celabrate. But AFIAK they are not (in real life), just in the blogosphare. (Figuratively). Although, I must say I do have to wonder about Oliver Willis, He posts ALOT relly about how much he likes Jessica Abla or whatever. It just seems "forced" (like maybe is there Rosie Odonnell/Tom Cruise thing going on here?) Just a theory. And if so, that's GREAT, I totally would embrace Oliver Willis (not litterally). about all that. (&c) As for Yglesias, I knew I would like his blog from the start by his name (diverse). (You can tell a lot from names relly Or at least I can).

OMFG !

What a buffoon. I especially like that this clown wants to get "some kind of internship at a washington publication"
so he can "set America straight."

How about stting yourself straight first dumbass.

*/ side splitting buffoonery !

Can we go over there and post snarky comments and drive up his hits? I noticed a lot of "0 comments".

Charles, **please** tell us the loc. from the E-mail -- I smell a froll to end all frolling ...

I think maybe we know where Bagdad Bob is working these days.

This MUST be a joke. If it isn't, it's a joke.

Charles, I'm dying at "My Taxonomy"! What a scream!

Good God A'mighty!!!

And I thought my spelling and sentence structure was bad. This would have been enough to send my old high school English teacher into canniption fits. Is canniption even a word? Cann't find it.

Oh well.

The upside to this sight is Ive finally found an anti-war type that I cannt get upset with. The person seems good natured and well meaning if very naive and under-informed. If only all anti-war type were like this instead of the tin foil hat loons (M Moore, Move on.org.. ect)

That is a truly awesome blog and really goes to show the creativity that results from sniffing 50 cents worth 82 octane from a plastic bag.

We are in the presence of greatness folks.

Although many are misunderstanding it. A starker contrast between Bush and Kerry. canot be found Othe then by reading this article.

and links to: Kerry: Still Would Have Approved Force for Iraq

Bush lied us into war. (He didn't just lie us towards war but INTO war - and for that matter - THROUGH war). (Lots of other prepositions too - no time here to mention them all). This lie tricked Kerry (Vietman vet) into voting (haD no choice to vote other way) for the war. Thus Kerry (guy who was tricked) should now be made President.

LMAO!!

Last Soda Drank: Squirt - refreshing
Last Thing Written: Squirt - refreshing

I had heard of Kerry served in Vietnam, but. I hadn't known until recently that he was the skipper of a Swift-Vet Boat! I know alittle someting (I think - IRRC) about Swift-Vet Boats and all I can say is, Talk about impressive. Chock it up to another reason to vote pull lever "Jon Kerry" in November.

Oh my Lord. I am dying!

if your going to drive up hits and post pointless comments please do it on my blog (which is equally lacking in visitors) rather than waste it on this putz!

PS are you sure the blog isn't a National Lampoon send up?

Deep thinker, this one.

We owe France a big apology (if you ask me) for not gathering (collecting) some of their young men (just a few - proportionally) to fight and die alongside ours in the (wrong) Iraq war (that we should not of started). It's like a slap in the face to Europe! No wonder, They hate us so much (despise relly) (like the less sophisticated bumpkins with no universal health care, that we are). But more to the point, teh very basic fact of no Frenchmen dying alongside ours, is relly one of the BEST arguments for why the Iraq was war wrong. So. Use it at your leisure.

Read it and weep Larry, Sergay and Orkut.

OK, I'm totally convinced it's satire now. LMAO.

#21:
Try conniption.

He doesn't like Yglesias either:

Matthew Yglesies (Yale) has another fine post. He makes the (important) point as How, because of Bush's (all pervading) deceptionness, when The Administration (i.e. person in the Bush Administration - The Administration is shorthand for all such people) says something, you can (and should) just Disbelieve it, despite you "have no evidence indicating that it isn't true". Heck you can Disbelieve stuff The Administration says even if it IS true. Why?

Because Bush such liar! (I think this is how argument works. I don't have Matthew's high Education so I may not of summerized it carefully - as always RHTH).

Since Iowahawk already has a blog, that's probably the best guess going ...

Well well well, look who was in the last movie he rented:

Last Movie Rented: "Another Stakeout" - R. Dreyfus/ E. Estevez (GREAT unheralded cop series

I hope it's a joke, but if it is, he's been working on it for a while. Go to the "May 2004" archives sections, the guy is drooling over Atrios...yuck.

That's the second-best blog site (sight) I've ever encountered. Can't tell you how much it has brightened my day. Now I'd like to change the title of my own autobiography to "About I" too. Guess that would be stealing, though. Thank you Charles.

I dropped in their and left our link--maybe we'll get a visitor! *laughs*

He presents a pretty good case for universal mental health care.

Er, dropped in t-h-e-r-e and left our link--the spelling at that site momentarily rubbed off on me! *laughs again*

Gees, he can't even spell simple 3-letter words like "our" (he spells it "are"). I sincerely doubt that he finished high school, let alone attended law school.
But the scarey thing? His vote counts JUST AS MUCH as an informed, educated vote.

#27 Dave Ray

National Lampoon does a much more professional job of it. Remember this.

Throbert did mention having some extra time on his hands...

Thanks, Charles. I haven't laughed this hard in a few days.

This is HILLARIOUS!

Dude, I've been stone cold sober for over 7 years and in this case it doesn't help one whit!

Oh man, listen to this:

Some European soccer teams I know about (only partial list, relly): Manchester United (I think Sporty Spice from Spice Girls played for this team for awhile-- not sure?); Italy (VERY well thought of and skilled; one of best soccer games I think I ever saw was Italy v. Manchester United(pretty sure) in 1984 Olympic trials on TV); Brazil (great player "Pele" - hey ignorant Americans, that's pronounced Pay-lay.) For more information check out classic Sylvester Stallone movie Victory, about famous (undefeated) Nazi German Soccer Team - his haunting portrayal of Pele: spot-on.

When, oh when, will America embrace the ``World's Game'' - this Soccer - to her bosom?

SPORTY SPICE? Has this guy EVER picked up a newspaper?

Don't answer that.

A lot of words and no content.

The Iraq burrito
I was looking at my burrito at lunch and my thoughts turned, as they wont to do, to the Iraq war.

Iraq is (was) like that burrito. It holds together nicely. It is self contained. You don't get your hands dirty. From the outside you cannot see whats inside and vice verca.

Now Bush (neocon puppet) comes along like a and cuts that burrito with recklessly a knife and fork. into pieces. But as anyone who's ever knows, that is not the best way to eat a burrito. You make a mess over everything. You wind up spilling the chicken (Shiites) and beans (Kurds) and so on (Sunnies). You can eat it from your plate (if you have one i.e. not Tacobell) with regular knife and fork, but look: some forkfuls then have only beans (Kurds), some only chicken(Shi'a's.). Not the way Burrito was intended!

Priceless!

Charles, you owe me for 1 bottle of Aspirin, for making me read that blog. That, girl, guy, thing, LLL gave me a spike in the head headache...

Hey dude, I dropped by your blog earlier today and left a commnet!

Wait, I knew Kerry was in Veeyetnam, but he served on some kind of boat, too? How do you use boats in the Jungel.

OK, how do you run a blog like that without knowing Kerry's war propopganda OR blowing a brain gasket? I assume it's extreme ignorance or LLL Parody on a scale that I can't even begin to wrap my brain around.

I just hope he has to write in 'Jon Kerry'. Or is it Carey - he's sorta funny, in very small doses.

'Anonymous' left a very thoughtful message for the little thing.

Something tells me you took it down too many notches. Remember, never drink the bong water!

A comment on one of the long posts:

At 9:05 PM, BeerMan said...
1. You are a moron. I understand now why you failed to graduate from law school.

2. Your law school probably was subpar. After all, they accepted you.

3. 9/11 was not a polite note. It was a cowardly, terrorist act of war. Osama knowlingly attacked a civilian target and murdered thousands of Americans citizens and the good citizens of other nations.

4. It was the at least the 3rd act of war that Osama has brought against the United States of America. (world trade center bombing, USS Cole)

5. Saddam Hussein is a murderer and a horrible butcher.

Saddam Hussein murdered hundreds of thousands of his own people in cold blood and buried them in mass graves.

Saddam Hussein used WMD against his own people.

Saddam Hussein bribed European UN officials to allow him to sell oil for cash instead of food and to provide political support for his regime of murder. He gave each of them millions of barrels of oil. That is a lot of cash at $40 per barrel.

Saddam Hussein used this cash to fund his WMD programs.

Saddam Hussein failed to comply with UN weapons inspectors.

Saddam Hussein was repeatedly warned that furture non compliance would result in the use of force.

Saddam Hussein continued to fail to comply.

6. Med school is important. The MCAT is important. Hacky sack is not important.

7. Stop trying to be such a fucking shyster. You are not good at it. Nobody is buying your crap.

8. "Hackysack" is not a thing. Note- two words: Hacky sack.

9. You are a moron. We covered this already, but for you, I have reviewed.

10. "Hindy" is not a language. Hindi is a language.

11. Arun may or may not have been speaking Hindi. I suspect that YOU cannot tell Hindi from other languages of the region, such as Kannada, Bengai, or Marathi. Heck, I am not sure that YOU can tell Hindi from English.

This has got to be a goof blog...

Maybe satire, maybe not. It says much about the anti-war crowd that it's hard to tell.

I love where he compares Iraq to a burrito:

Now Bush (neocon puppet) comes along like a and cuts that burrito with recklessly a knife and fork. into pieces. But as anyone who's ever knows, that is not the best way to eat a burrito. You make a mess over everything. You wind up spilling the chicken (Shiites) and beans (Kurds) and so on (Sunnies).

Kurds are beans... ROTFLMAO

The more snippets I read here, the more I'm convinced it's a parody. No one -- and I mean no one -- could be even 10% of this stupid.

This guy (or gal) is genius!!!

Another excerpt, in which he compares "A Touch of Mink" with the Iraqi war:

"During the Runup-to the war we found ourselves in something of a sleazy Cary Grant role. We (by "we" I mean George W. Bush) wanted to seduce and corrupt and ruin an innocent pureness with no strings attached. (=We wanted France to authorize a UNSC resolution endorsing the invasion). France (like Doris Day) wasn't buying! Not without marriage (i.e. full control of the troops etc, having huge say in future of Iraq etc, assurance of prior contracts being honored etc). In the movie there are lots of snags and slipups but Grant and Day do end up together (Man, and wife) (in traditional homophobic sense). This is because Cary Grant is ultimately honorable in these kind of movies.

If only George W. Bush were such as honorable. But no. He rapes Doris Day and then tosses her into the gutter.

That's our President! "

Amazing!

I noticed and am eternally grateful...ps English soccer season starts today for me...so expect more seething and anger as my beloved Spurs continue to disappoint me!

My 2 cents worth, it's either a 13 year old girl, RWC, or evariste.

So boring. Arugments always become more impressive when replace words with longer cinnanyms (if you ask me).

No way.

Fay, LOL! I am just not anywhere near that funny, not even in my dreams :-) I wish.
RWC is an excellent conjecture too. I say it's RWC or Throbert, leaning towards Throbert.

I've seen idiocy before, but DAMN. (I suppose that should be pronounced DAY-UM.)

please, folks. just recognize that it's an incredibly well thought out and well executed joke.

It's not that hard to figure that out.

That said, LMAO

Or where he confuses Linda Ronstadt with Pat Benatar:

In salutation of Linda Ronstat's patriotism dissent I think we should all get out are old records of her again and play them. (Or tapes). When I get home I plan to find dig up from storage space (and BLAST) "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", "Love Is A Battlefield", "Hey Mickey", "She works Hard for the Money", "My Baby Takes The Morning Train" and all that great old good stuff. (If my right wing downstairs neighbor doesn't like it - him and his stupid flag sticker in window he can SHOVE IT at this point I'm BEYOND caring about all his Frivolous complaints to landlord (stupid BTW it's not my fault thin floors)).

(then realizes his mistake...)

Hobgoblin:

Are you claiming credit?

Leaning strongly towards Throbert, I just have a very powerful intuition that it's him.

U R funny, don't sell yourself short, but you're also honest enough that after the first 10 or 12 entries you would have had to come clean somehow ...

Throbert 5 gets you 6

"I totally would embrace Oliver Willis (not litterally)"

No. Not everyone can create and maintain an Iraq war was wrong blog like me. (And, who would want this?)

#107 Ann:

Goodnight Ann!

evariste, I'm very flattered that you would credit me with this, since it's damn funny, but it ain't mine. I can do one-shot frolls (though it's harder with the registered comments), but a sustained hoax as this appears to be just isn't my thing.

I suspected Rugby, initially, but he's just constitutionally incapable of writing more than three consecutive grafs without mentioning food.

Why do leftists hate the idea of Saddam being out of power ?

Lord, maybe it is parody! Look at this page! what to do

lived in a little studio apartment on the second floor and below me was a preem medical student from India named Arun. Now, keep in mind here that Arun was not perfect (by our (Western) standards) downstairs neighbor either, anymore than I was. (Upstairs). Many's a time where, I would be up at 3-4 A.M. kept awake by his stereo ("I Got The Power" - C&C Music Factory - his favorite) or by him talking LOUDLY to family back home in India in native language Hindy (Note: as many ignorant Americans (Neandertheals) not realize - language spoken by Indians (from India) not Indian, language spoken by Indians Hindy). At first I got frustrate - But, I would always tell myself, He is from a different culture and I must be tolerant. If I cannot tolerant his culture at 4 A.M> then where does that leave us. (I would have to apologize to him for being so intolerant, frankly). The true test of multi cultural tolerance occurs at 4 A.M. (Just a little aphorism I thought up - you can use it) So, I would switch on late nite Bob Costas show or Twilite Zone rerun and wait till his culture calms down (just, alittle).

Meanwhile, however, I offended him something greatly, for which still feel guilty. You see when I was (still) in law school (officially) I spent ALOT of time hackysacking. (In my apartment - no good place to do it outside). You know - for exercise. I would stand there and hackysack in front of TV to wile away the time and sweat. Day or night. (You're probably wondering was there enough space in studio apartment to hackysack - well there was (just barely) if I move E-Z chair and keep control (the secret: use your knees ALOT)). Well, I must of hackysacked through 90% of both OJ trials (if you ask me). (In retrospect-- probably would of been better to attend more lawschool classes. Water under the bridge as they say).

I suspect a fake troll. But golly, thats funny.

Sorry, I can't help it:

This is a whole different situation ok. Germany has Germans (white Europeans) who knew what we were talking about when we tried to rebuild their country, whereas Iraq is a country of people who are of the Arab persuasion. You just can't compare the two okay! Not in terms of cultural traditions or how violent they are or anything like that. I say we must respect the proud Arabic cultural traditions of countries which have Arabs peoples in them, not try to defend ourselves against those traditions. No matter how difficult those traditions may be for us to understand, or endure. Only that way lies peace if you ask me. Haven't you also noticed that stupid righties just don't seem to "get" what we're saying about Iraqis being Arabs??

P.S. Not to mention Muslims.

This is dangerous. Aneurysm-producing laughter dangerous. Awe-inspiring actually.

read a little (as I did earlier) it's questionable, but if you
dig a little deeper you'll find older postings without glaring grammatical errors; I think the author is baiting the LLL crowd.

Where is the 'taxonomy' link?

#136 Thom

OTOH, Allah's site (e.g.) has gotten pretty huge too over the months ...

Ahh, but go back, it was never so full of inanities. It was always semi-rational in a non-rational kind of way. This guy is full blown nutbar!

So I tune into the Olympic coverage ... and they immediately go to some skater from the Salt Lake City Games? WTF?!

# 128 reag

"It would take a team to do all that"

Knowing what we do about Coop, Thorbert, Allah etc. I would dispute that ...

'course, I ain't about to take you up on the beer bet or anything, I'm just yakking ...

#138 reaganite

Son, don't ever get in a drinking contest with an EOD tech, I know girls who make you their bitch! :-Þ

I don't doubt it in the least! I've met a few girls who can drink me under the table. I'm sure the ones who get to be EODs are in some fucking rarefied stratosphere of beyond drinking :-)

Oh Dear Lord!

Besides some religions (i.e. Muslim Islam religion) don't think all wars bad-- holy duty "jiha'd" WE SHOULD RESPECT THAT.

Man, if that guy is real, then I'll buy reaganite and iraqwarwrong beer, happily. Probably not at the same time or reaganite'll clobber him :-)

Any chance that the LizardMaster himself may have created this parody site?

It looks like this is gonna be the designated drinking lounge, but folks should check out the On Loathing Bush thread, where Yehudit linked to a very funny LLL protest page (funny in the "We're laughing at you, not with you" sense).

I also posted a few what-ifs there about the McGreevey story. (And, um, made a personal revelation. I need beers and shoulders. It's not horrible news; I'm just stressed.)

# 148 Cru

What would he gain from it?

interesting post from over at throbers:

"Regular LGF readers seem to have gotten more savvy about avoiding hair-trigger responses to Obvious Joke Trolls, but we'll see whether anyone bites."

NOT refrerring to "iraq war was wrong", but in general, not something outside the minds of pranksters. Throbert's denied, and I can believe him (i suppose), but it's not unpossible (like me failing english)

reaganite, you remember how allah was missing for so long don'cha? and how the new Allah blog is just the slightest bit different?

Where was Allah? if the blog don't fit, you must acquit

#144 Buckaroo

Knowing what we do about Coop, Thorbert, Allah etc. I would dispute that ...

Imagine it this way, LGF, for Charles it's damn near a full time job. That nutbar's site has so much wrong with it. It would take a team to fill it.

It may not even be one of us, but I think it is because why else would he email Charles the link :-) I think Charles knows who it is, too. And whoever the bugger is, they're reading this thread and chuckling that we'll never guess.

Just "kicks". Its a low-maintenance site (unlike this one), and allows whoever it is that runs it to goof off while not having the serious nature of a "War on Terror" blog.

I just threw out a wild guess like others did about Throbert and others.

#151 hobgoblin

Throbert's denied, and I can believe him (i suppose)

I met him in DC, if he denies it, I'll take his word but I'll kick him the next time I'm in DC if he's BSing! :-Þ

Where was Allah? if the blog don't fit, you must acquit

It's the Wookie defense!

I'm not so sure it's a parody...if it is, it certainly is a masterpiece. Some of the errors--like the mix-up of what Allawi's position actually is--would seem overly subtle if it really was a parody. But if it is a joke, the creator has obviously put a heck of a lot of effort into it, and might thus have made sure to cover all the seemingly insignficant little points.

# 152 reag

From the "you question me,I answer you exchange"

"Thanks for your point. I see your comment; but, however, I did not say I 'liked' Gandhi just that I borrowed my philosophy from his nonviolet cival disobediance (GNCD). Gnadhi in fact had many other aspects besides NCD (the baldness etc) which I may or may not like."

**NOONE** writes like that seriously, LLL or not!! GNCD??!!

well, I have an alibi (work for a living most of the time), and I've never done a blog, so y'all can't pin this on me.

i'm just going to chuckle along though, at the obvious humor of you all actually doubting that this is a parody...

You know, we're sitting here discussing all the comedic talent and trying to figure it out...is it Allah, is it Throbert, is it RWC, is it V the K, is it Coop, is it iowahawk...we are blessed with a lot of really fucking funny people on this blog. But we're excluding one of the funniest people from consideration, for no real reason-Charles. That guy is a fucking card. I wouldn't put it past him.
Throbert, sorry about your job :-(

If it's a parody, I'll kill them! The more I dig into the site the more I'm convinced it's real. It's like watching a psychological thriller. The more you watch, the further off the deep end they go. Kind of reminds me of HWSNBN.

Dear LGF'ers,

I know a lot of you through discussions and arguments, comments and abuse. I have grown very fond of this oh so unique community. It has its ups and its downs etc etc but I'd just like to say...

Throbert lose his job?

Maybe he should move to Texas and get a job in the oil patch.

Although since Throbert taught me the secrets of brightly colored text (used only when weather emergencies, like yesterdays advance warning about Charley and next Fridays' advance warning about either Danielle or Earl (all depends whether TD #4 or TD #5 gets promoted to tropical storm first) hitting somewhere between Apalachicola and Port Fourchon, I suspect he could probably get a job as a sys admin.

HELP!

FNDT??? Please, translate.

I'm still undecided on whether or not it's a parody. My first instinct was that it is. But the grammar is very consistent throughout with the exception of a few lucid sentences interspersed.

The structure reminds me of the letters I get periodically at work from mentally ill people (including those who are functionally illiterate (sp?). However, the thoughts are more consistently formed.

I had thought of Charles. I have noticed that on some days lately there seemed to be quite a gap in time when Charles didn't post anything new. He COULD have been working on money-making projects, or he could have been designing this to pull our legs big time!

Who's the expert on determining the location of this blog, techno speaking, including when it was originally created? Is there a clue there?

The Olympics opening is pretty hysterical too. They just had a giant naked guy statue that broke into various pieces - amongst the genitals. I sorta cringed at the sight of one nad to the left, the other nad to the right ... ouch.

Now there's some butt munch butt munching his way around a rotating cube ... Hey! Did he just fall off? The camera cut away!

Enlighten me oh wise one?

an RSS feed is a link you can subscribe to in a feed reader (I use FeedDemon, Bloglines.com is a good web based one if you don't want to install software, and SharpReader is a good free desktop one if you're ok with installing software. So is rssbandit. You have to pay 29 bucks for FeedDemon). This way you can see what's new at all the sites you like to keep up on from one place, without having to visit them all. It's quite handy! I recommend you try out Bloglines first and if you like the concept, switch to one of the desktop versions. I can keep up on over 150 sites' feeds by reading for about an hour each day. If I was to visit each site individually, a, there's no way I could even do that and get anything else done, and b, I would visit all the sites that *didn't* have updates too. Screw that!
If you see an orange XML button or RSS or Atom or "subscribe", anything like that, it means the site publishes a feed you can subscribe to. If you try Bloglines they have a bookmarklet you can just click on in your toolbar, and it will automatically subscribe you to the feed of whatever site you were visiting at the time.

Flag-flying Iranian pulls out

IRANIAN world judo champion Arash Miresmaili, who carried his country's flag in today's Olympic Games opening ceremony, has pulled out of the tournament after refusing to fight an Israeli.

The 23-year-old, twice a winner of the flyweight (under 66kg) world title, opted not to take on first round opponent Ehud Vaks, of Israel, as a gesture of support for Palestine.

"Although I have trained for months and was in good shape I refused to fight my Israeli opponent to sympathise with the suffering of the people of Palestine and I do not feel upset at all," Miresmaili told the IRNA news agency.

Student news agency ISNA quoted Iran's sports officials as saying Miresmaili still deserved the cash prize Iranian Olympic medal winners have been promised by the Physical Education organisation.

"Miresmaili must receive a special prize as he was the prime candidate for a gold medal and I will do my best about it," said head of the judo federation, Mohammad Derakhshan.

It is not the first time Iranian judokas have declined to fight against Israeli opponents.

At the 2001 world championships, Mahed Malekmohammdi refused to face Yoel Razvozov, while Asian champion Masoud Haji Akhoundzade also pulled out of a planned clash with Israeli lightweight Zvi Shafran.

Wuss.

Although since Throbert taught me the secrets of brightly colored text ... I suspect he could probably get a job as a sys admin.

LOL! Man, but it would be a first for me to have a job for which I was under-qualified. The only thing that really depresses me about getting fired from this job is that I have so little to add to my résumé. The entire company was a dispiriting example of private-sector make-work by a federal agency, in this case the FHWA. I learned exactly nothing in the way of transferable skills during my 10 months there.

Anyway, I would appreciate any advice from other LGFers who have been looking for work in the DC area recently.

I'm also wondering whether it's time to dust off my fantasy of applying to the Defense Language Institute... as far as I know, I'm eligible to enlist in the Army until age 35, my GREs were all 99 percentile, I had an excellent GPA in all my Russian language classes in college, and it would be such a kick to learn Arabic for real. And I'd be doing something real for my country. I'm way past the need to be publicly "out" about my sexuality, my frank talk here on LGF notwithstanding.

Okay, open to "that's not a very bright idea" comments...

Dominica is a small island that gets hit by hurricanes this time of the year, La Republica Dominicana is one half of a big island, with 2 km high mountains that gets hit by hurricanes this time of year.

Of course, the Lesser Antilles also have the occasional volcanic eruption.

Unsurprising that Iran doesn't get the Olympic ideal.

They're probably sponsoring half the terrorist groups looking to disrupt the games.

To all those who replied to my previous comment:
