The (old) Licquia Family Blog
This is the old blog site, powered by a simple blogging system called
Blosxom. It's here to keep
old links from breaking, and for whatever historic interest might remain.
Here's the current site.

(Suggestions that I'm making up for the long silence of recent days will
be treated with the appropriate amount of disrespect.)

is
surprised that we're better at finding Iraqi ex-leaders than we are
at finding weapons of mass destruction. Considering that Iraqi
soon-to-be-ex-leaders were very easy to find before we marched into
Baghdad, is it any shock that hasty cover-ups are easier to uncover than
secrets carefully prepared for a decade?
I remember growing up hearing that Americans had attention spans that
were too short. I often wondered how anyone could say that after
watching a baseball game, but I think I'm seeing it now. Only in
America could a three-week war be declared a quagmire in its second
week, and only in America could three more weeks be considered enough
time to search a desert nation the size of California for carefully
hidden items.
