Not a Python piece… Just saw this at Pixy’s:

About to import the entirety of mu.nu into Minx. More than 200,000 posts, more than 1,500,000 comments.

And at Munuviana: The Great Migration.

“…all the mu.nu blogs will get picked up and copied across to new.mu.nu. So, if your blog is at wombat.mu.nu, you’ll have a copy of it on the new system at wombat.new.mu.nu. If your site is at wombat.com, your new site will be at wombat.com.new.mu.nu.”

“You get a randomly generated banner and colour theme on your new blog. You have 20 standard themes to choose from, and another 20 coming when 1.2 arrives later this month. You can also upload any image and use the built-in tools to construct a banner for it (see the banner right here for an example), or just use the banner from your old site.”

Good Luck, MT users!

Just kidding, I’m sure everything will be fine…………

We’re poor little lambs
who have lost our way,
Baa Baa Baa,
We’re little black sheep
who have gone astray
Baa Baa Baa.

Barack Hussein Obama has lost his way… could someone tell him how many states we have?

Hat tip: Hot Air!

Holy moly, this is a big caterpillar! Just found it munching on my ficus but won’t disturb it, since I’d be killing what should soon be a big, beautiful butterfly.

I still can’t identify it…

Concealed weapon permit applications in Texas have risen 40% over the past year, spurring economic growth. Further proof that guns are good.

…the department is paying overtime and hiring temporary workers to reduce the backlog. Mange said she doesn’t know why applications last month were 39 percent higher than they were in April 2007.

But Ross Bransford, who trains 1,000 Texans a year to qualify for a concealed handgun license, said he believes the looming 2008 election is a big factor.

“People are not sure what’s going to happen after the election,” said Bransford, who owns Austin-based CHL-Texas.com. “Both Democratic candidates are anti-gun in one fashion or another.”

He said Sen. Barack Obama, who is leading the race for the nomination, is a “friend of (Democratic Senator) Ted Kennedy, and that scares everybody to death.“

Hullo!

Of course, the anti-gun crowd just doesn’t understand:

Marsha McCartney, who represents the North Texas Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said she was surprised to learn that so many more Texans are applying to carry guns.

Yes, wanting the ability to protect oneself *is* perplexing. [sigh]

Lindsey Williams, who has been an ordained Baptist minister for 28 years, went to Alaska in 1971 as a missionary. The Transalaska oil pipeline began its construction phase in 1974, and because of Mr. Williams’ love for his country and concern for the spiritual welfare of the “pipeliners,” he volunteered to serve as Chaplain on the pipeline, with the subsequent full support of the Alyeska Pipeline Company. Because of the executive status accorded to him as Chaplain, he was given access to information documented in his eye opening book, The Energy Non-Crisis. After numerous public speaking engagements in the western states, certain government officials and concerned individuals urged Mr. Williams to put into print what he saw and heard, stating that they felt this information was vital to national security. Mr. Williams firmly believes that whoever controls energy controls the economy.

There is no energy crisis, it’s merely another way to manipulate us on a global scale, much as the climate change movement.
