a word with y'all out there

It has come to my attention that upwards of 90% of my relatively miniscule readership comes to me from Linux servers. This would seem to indicate that this blog is mostly accessible to the technorati, most of whom ate probably judging me very personally for this weak sauce template. Humblest apologies.

Obligatory Thanksgiving post

Let me say from the very outset that I believe Tganksgiving is a stupid and distasteful holiday and if you celebrate in the manner of most Americans you should be at least a little ashamed of yourself for being part of a concerted whitewashing of the Peqoet Indian Massacre for which William Bradford, then governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, inaguarated the very first such Thanksgiving feast. Settlers repeated the practice of offering public thanks to god for the slaughter of their pagan neighbors until eventually Abraham Lincoln institutionalized the national legal holiday before marching on the starving Sioux. Feel free to investigate the history yourselves and point out any factual errors in my arid anti-Puritan rant. In your own gluttonies today, dear reader, please pray to the Divinity of your liking that when humanity does make its first mass contact with intelligent life of greater technical acuity that we all be prepared:
For the Intergalactic Mother-fucking British. I've been saying it for years. Pray as well that these imminent conquistadors are kinder to humanity than Europe to its precious neighbors. I will be working today, serving people who for whatever reason are not eating at home today. I will be praying that your collective guilt feeds right into my pockets as I create the pleasant illusion of a giant-ass country Thanksgiving Extravaganza without all of the bullshit. Thank you.
