Useless Export

I tried Exporting my blog today. You know... there's a link on your dashboard.

I suppose it works, in so far as all of the posts seem to have been exported (in descending order), and all of the comments seem to have been exported (in ascending order), but there's nothing in the export file that links the comments with the original posts.

Absolutely bloody useless.

So now I'll just do it all for myself, post by post, manually. What a pain in the rear end that will be.

Nothing Nuclear Weapons Can't Fix



I don't know. Really. Is he a lunatic, or is that thinking "normal" in his part of the world.

How many people actually think like that? Is it possible to get them to all gather in the one place at the one time? You know... times are tough and those tactical nukes are expensive.

Or do we just wait until they actually do this shit, causing the Americans to retaliate such that the whole bloody region glows in the dark?

It doesn't make me angry any more. It just makes me sad.

And what's perhaps even more scary is the tone of the comments. Ok. I know tangle.com is a Christian site, but seriously, who's whackier, the cleric of the commenters.

For example, this gem from someone called Kelsey Louks, who writes "Its a good thing Christianity has never been used to validate violence. " Um. Kelsey. Ever heard of the Inquisition? Hmmm. Probably not. I suspect it's about as welcome on the curriculum as Evolution.

Or there's the whole "The Tribulation is coming. The end is nigh" thing. I'm sorry... expecting God to save us from Islamic loonies is like praying for a win on the craps tables of Vegas.

What can one say?
