I’m thinking about mattering again.
But I can’t decide. It sometimes feels good to matter. But people who matter sort of rub me the wrong way.
Maybe I will just position myself as mattering without the numbers or facts to back it up. Then I get the upside of mattering while being amused that I poked a finger in the eye of those who currently matter.

Here is Bush on the victory in the Middle East:
“The first reaction of course of Hezbollah and its supporters is to declare victory. I guess I would have done the same thing if I were them . . . Sometimes it takes people a while to come to the sober realization of what forces create stability and what don’t. Hezbollah is a force of instability.”
Um, yay?
Now playing in Iran: A cartoon exhibition on the Holocaust.
And it’s not just them, Mel Gibsonism is taking hold across Europe.
