Mar. 29th, 2008 07:39 amBeen offline for almost 24 hours, and so much to pass on:
The bank which has an account incorrectly in my SSN has become outright obstructionist. They told my mother that they wouldn't consider fixing it unless I filed an affadavit (sp?) and police report, because apparently it is not their job to actually check the identity of their clients. Now I discover that the affadavit that they sent to her to file is an incomplete photocopy. Excuse me? First you make me do YOUR job by proving identity, and then you make that impossible by sending improper paperwork? My cubemate thinks I should bring a lawyer into this, and I'm starting to agree.

Links
Shakespeare's Sister links an 1860 (NOT A TYPO!) recording of "Au Clair de la Lune". They call it "ethereal;" I call it "bad quality" - and also "totally amazing!"
More on PZ Myers and Expelled from Expelled, his report on calling into their media conference One of them asked me to do the honorable thing and hang up…so I said yes, I would do the honorable thing and hang up while they continued the dishonorable thing and continued to lie.. Life Without Faith has rough notes; Skepchick has the audio.
For the 1000th time, class, Darwin !=Hitler.
How come "airport security" means male TSA agents can humiliate and sexually harass women? Is this supposed to make me feel safer?
Ezra Klein sums up neocon vs liberal neatly:
Neocons envision a near-static population of terrorists, and prescribe an aggressive policy of killing them in order to rid the world of terrorism. Liberals see a dynamic population of terrorists and prescribe broad policies meant to blunt their popular appeal and deprive them of public support. Neocons looks at the liberal prescription and say, essentially, "you're not killing enough of them." And liberals look at the Neocons and, aghast, say, "stop making so many more."
misscam has done that "rescue 5 posts from obscurity meme" and come up with a fic I'd missed: Rose Tyler's History of Sex. Excellent, and not as fluffy and sweet as the title implies. Ditto her The Art of Not Having Sex
More much later or tomorrow morning; today I am going to usher the Reduced Shakespeare Company's two shows downtown: "The Complete Bible (Abridged) & The Complete History of America (Abridged)"
ETA: I apologize to all for leaving this with bad code for a day - obviously, I posted as I was running out the door!
