I think wordpress.com was having some ssl problems, but it seems to be resolved now. *shrug*
I have noticed t3h Int3rw3bz have been acting odd the past few days… not just my local connection out of the house, but also lots of servers out there. Don’t know… but whatever. Back to life.
WordPress.com seems to be having problems this morning. I can’t get into the admin area (http redirects to https then hangs). I can view the blog, just can’t admin things.
But there’s this “quickpress” thing… trying it to see if it does anything.
Breda’s a small woman, so what the hell would she know about rape, right? I mean, just because her response to a potential rapist isn’t singing kum-bah-yah to him… she obviously doesn’t know a damn thing. (Yes, I’m being sarcastic.)
Just in case you need a reminder that there still are good people in this world, I give you Rich Slack.
Buda is a small town immediately south of Austin (almost an Austin suburb these days). Apparently a couple weeks ago there was a bomb threat phoned in to a high school. After the threat was received, 1850 students were evacuated… but apparently there are 1858 students at the school, since 8 special-ed students were left inside.
Principal Shirley Reich said one reason the children were kept inside was the chilly day, 47 degrees outside, and that “if anything I erred on the side of compassion for them.”
Now, maybe Ms. Reich did have honestly good intentions, and maybe it’s just an honest mistake. But I still can’t help but feel some sense of confusion over her sense of compassion.
So, it’s chilly outside, and it’s compassionate to keep 8 special-ed kids inside and send 1850 other kids outside into the cold.
Or, it’s compassionate to send 1850 kids away from the potential for an explosion, and keep 8 kids at ground zero.
This must be some of that “new compassion” I keep hearing about these days.
