Aug. 15th, 2007 01:21 pmThe home-grown threat.
It seems that having America terrified of Islamic fundamentalists from the middle east just isn't good enough any more. We now have to make sure America is terrified of its own citizens as well. I'm currently all of three paragraphs into this, and I've already spotted several instances of severe idiocy. I'm sure I'll find many more. But honestly... could the baseless fear-mongering here be any more blatant? As far as I know there has not been one single instance of a home-grown terrorist attack on American soil since 9-11, and precious few before then. And I can only think of a bare, tiny handful of attacks elsewhere in the western world. Apparently we're supposed to be cowering from the bogeyman now. He's just as real as home-grown Islamic radicals are.
And don't even get me started on the internet thing. Middle aged dinosaurs in suits running around going "ZOMG! INTERNETS!" really is starting to get old. My grandpa managed to adapt to the internet age, you guys. Get witht he times.
Sheesh. I'd ask "how stupid do they think we are" but alas some of us are, sadly, pretty stupid.

( Snake bracelet )
Also, I have been sewing a sheep that is almost done. Just need to finish the horns and fur the head. I hope to get it done this week in fact. I just finished the hands and bodysuit. The hands look awesome! The bodysuit not so much, but that is not my fault, the customer wanted this weird two-piece onesie and chaps thing. And it's not bad or anything, just kind of weird and I wouldn't do it that way myself, you know?
( Baaaaaaaa )
