RIP Johnny Cash
Man in Black
Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.
Well, there’s a reason for the things that I have on.
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin’ in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he’s a victim of the times.

Another Political Quiz
Now here is a real quiz! Sure it is multiple choice but as Froz Gobo says:
The multiple-choice answers are very detailed and differ very subtly, so much so that for only 2 out of 10 was the selection easy. I suggest taking it primarily because of the exercise of debating those last 2 possible answers to each question. I wish the test could be conducted rating the 4 possibilties from “most like your opinion” to “least like your opinion.”
Plan on spending 5-10 minutes to find out whether you are a neocon, liberal, realist or isolationist.
It rated me liberal which is not how I describe myself.
A Lump of Cheese
Thanks for Helena Montana at Demogogue for the pointer to this Nature article that explains that it is the sun not the moon that is cheesy:
“If strings of magnetic field get tangled around each other, the Sun becomes like a spinning lump of molten mozzarella,” explains Tom McLeish of the University of Leeds, UK.
