You are the Marquis Da Sade. Even stripped of
exaggerations, Your real life was as dramatic
and as tragic as a cautionary tale. Born to an
ancient and noble house, you were married
(against your wishes) to a middle-class heiress
for money, caused scandals with prostitutes and
with your sister-in-law, thus enraging your
mother-in-law, who had you imprisoned under a
lettre de cachet for 14 years until the
Revolution freed you. Amphibian, protean,
charming, you became a Revolutionary,
miraculously escaping the guillotine during the
Terror, only to be arrested later for
publishing your erotic novels. You spent your
final 12 years in the insane asylum at
Charenton, where you caused another scandal by
directing plays using inmates and professional
actors. You died there in 1814, virtually in
the arms of your teenage mistress.
You are a revolutionary deviant. I applaud you.
Which Imfamous criminal are you?

Please support your local charity...
The Election in the U.S. has been over for a week. George Bush has been legally elected this time around so there shouldn't be any squabbles. Somehow, the fact that the last time around wasn't such a clearcut victory, always led me to forgive any international indiscretions of the U.S. as being the lashing out of an occupied country. Now I've lost that rationalization. He has the support of the people, for better or for worse. I sincerely hope that things will not deteriorate south of the border. The fact that Bush is no longer facing a need for re-election scares me a bit though. With luck, he'll keep things tame so that his brother can get on the ballot in 2008. Ironic, using luck like that, eh?
Of course, he could just go back to the Supreme Court, have them overturn their 2000 Election ruling and then claim this as his first real term. That'd let Bush run in 2008 himself.
All this partisanship is leading to an immediate problem for Canada: the predicted influx of left-minded refugees. To help, Canadians are being summoned to action.

November is out!
Here's the latest. The third issue is out and I am already at work on December. Quilting, Rememberance Day, Peacekeeping, and lots of wintery stuff to boot. I won't blog much more than that now. I'm busy trying to catch snippets of election coverage while Yeji has commandeered the TV to watch Sex in the City. Think I'll also see what's left of the Hallowe'en candy...
Oh yeah. It's snowing like a son of a gun.
