Counting 'Em Down/News Update
So, here's the score, folks. This is post 2582 for yours truly. Also, Thus Saith the Fly is a mere eight days, counting today, from turning one year old. I will update you more throughout the next couple of weeks.
Who knows? I may even post some news in the meantime!
UPDATE: News isn't terribly impressive today. There are a few stories worth noting, though.
The Spanish government has signed an agreement to supply weapons to Venezuela; as if we didn't have reason enough already to think that the Spaniards are clueless.
Former Iraqi PM Iyad Allawi has accused the interim government of perpetrating abuses as bad as Saddam's. I like Iyad Allawi, I think he's a good guy, but I don't seem to remember seeing any evidence that the interim government is filling mass graves with the bodies of innocent Iraqis, silencing dissent with bullets and plastic shredders, or gassing the Kurdish zone.
And, finally, Denmark will probably be increasing troop deployments to Afghanistan in response to a request from NATO.
Other than that, it's pretty much the same old thing: a vote of no confidence against the Canadian government, crumbling marble at the Supreme Court, the EU flipping out over allegations of secret CIA prisons, and bird flu. Nothing to see here. These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along.
