Can't Rant

Tired. Busy weekend. Krazny Oktyobr was nuts; I couldn't play, but it was still fun to watch. I didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night.

A few things in the news deserve mention, but I'm too tired to comment on any of them. Rehnquist is not dead yet dead, which takes the pressure off Roberts, as he's now replacing the conservative Chief Justice instead of the less conservative O'Connor. "Horse Show" Brown was removed from the hurricane relief efforts, than he resigned. Halliburton has been given control of the recovery operation, so they now have (very profitable) control of a major port city. Following this to its logical conclusion just gives me a headache. But perhaps I'm being too paranoid.

One other thing going on: I got into a discussion of the problem of evil over at religion_etc, which turned into a prolonged discussion with fanha about theistic vs. secular humanist morality. fanha is quite an interesting and intelligent guy, although his beliefs and methods differ greatly from my own. (I find such arguments interesting, but understanding can be an odd sensation sometimes.)
