Flickr

Because I'm lazy, and don't want to keep doing the make-thumbnail-get-HTML-upload thing here, I'll post future photographs to my Flickr account. You can see the Flickr badge in the right-hand column, on the main page.

Best wishes, Benedict XVI

The greatest Pope of the 19th Century has been laid to rest. May he rest in peace, and may his successor be the greatest Pope of the 21st.

Oh, well.

The best thing I have read on this sad subject

The BBC's Washington correspondent on the Terri Schiavo case.

The reason the Schiavo case is so important, the reason it has Americans talking and arguing, and the reason it should, in my view, have the rest of us re-assessing our view of this nation, is that Americans were corralled but rebelled.
They were emotionally blackmailed but refused to budge, were told that their deepest held religious beliefs should push them in one direction, but thought for themselves and thought differently.
