Yay:)

From trajictale,

Also, Semagic released a new version and it's got a tags update! Yay!
easiest to get your update from here: http://semagic.sourceforge.net/

So tags get a little easier for me. But I have a question for those of you who are putting the tag code at the bottom of your post (poisontaster, are you there?) --- are you hand coding that w/ html or does your layout type or whatever put it in yourself? This is actually what I've been wondering about and what I don't see on my posts (the tag function is there when I actually go to lj to do an update, but I've become so dependent on my pretty semagic:)

cap etiquette question

Okay...the more I think on it, the more I want to do it..really. I want to make a Pretty Spaceman moodtheme (sorry guys, this will be primarily farscape and firefly. Haven't felt the love for bsg).

Here's my question: is there any special etiquette for this? My computer is sooo not capable of making caps itself so I'll be scouring cap hosting sites looking for appropriate "pretty" pics. Is there anything special I should do other than make the appropriate creds when I make the them available to share?

Thanks muchly:)

Yay for the democrats (though it's not a win)

John Bolton's nomination to the UN was blocked for a second time in the Senate. Sadly this isn't the end --- Bush can go ahead and appoint him once Congress recesses for the summer. But if he does that, Bolton's term will only last until the end of this Congress...in Jan of 2007...Yay...almost a year and a half for him to further confirm the bad name of America that Rummy and Bush have given us.

Several republicans are actively saying that if the administration would just release the requested papers relating to certain actions and activities of Mr. Bolton, the issue could be cleared and Bolton confirmed. But the repeated refusal of the administration has caused several republicans to *gasp* side and vote with the democrats.

LONG LIVE THE MODERATES.

More about Pakistani oppression of Women from Nicholas D. Kristof

Augh, it's a toss up of what pisses me off more about this. The fact that our government is seriously considering selling Pakistan F16 fighter planes or the way that crimes against women are treated in that country.

Hello, Mr. Bush, you are about to sell F16 - PLANES CAPABLE OF CARRYING NUCLEAR WEAPONS - to one of the few countries that has actively threatened to use it's nuclear weapons on a neighboring country in the last 5 years!!! Are you nuts? I'm sure that India is loving this. i can't believe that the president who is supposed to be so concerned about nuclear proliferation in the third world is selling advanced military transport planes to a nuclear capable country!!

Who's next? North Korea?

And then that the White House would invite into the oval office the leader of a country that publically commits such flagrant human rights abuses against it's population?? Outrageous.

From Kristof's NYTimes column:( under the cut due to graphic descriptions )

That the leader of this country has invited the President of Pakistan to meet in the oval office not a week after that leader was instrumentally in illegally detaining an innocent woman for the simple act of speaking up about injustices that she and every other woman in that country face on a daily basis is shameful.

Actions speak louder than words, Mr. President. And I've yet to see a single act on the behalf of your administration that has in any way encouraged true democracy or even simple gender equality in the third world. You should reexamine your agenda and reconsult the New Testament.
