Hot Buttered Death
the southern white crap that talks back
My weblog, right or wrong. Complaints about the swearing, the wrong-headedness of the opinions expressed here, or indeed anything else, will be thoroughly ignored. This weblog has been operating out of Sydney, Australia since February 2002 (and from this location since October 2002), and is designed for viewing in IE or Opera (don't know how other browsers react) at 800x600 or more.

3.Non-blog/news links

I have a very extensive collection of links not specifically related to blogging. I keep them on an entirely separate page here.

Just got an email in regards to my comment at the end of this post, from someone who shall remain nameless:

"this avowed lunatic represents the violence and hate
inherent in the anti-war movement"

You got that right!

Honestly, I don't know why I bother sometimes. Maybe I should just hang a sign on the main page stating that anything I say myself on this blog may contain irony or sarcasm. Except people probably still wouldn't notice.
