Word of the Day, and Evil News

interlard in-tur-LARD, transitive verb:
To insert between; to mix or mingle; especially, to introduce that which is foreign or irrelevant; as, to interlard a conservation with oaths or allusions.

Interlard comes from Middle French entrelarder, from Old
French, from entre, “between” (from Latin inter-) + larder, “to lard,” from larde, “lard,” from Latin lardum. The original sense of the word, now obsolete, was “to place lard or bacon amongst; to mix, as fat meat with lean.”

evil news-

McVeigh Execution Items Too Gruesome For Ebay
=================================
A man hawking copies of Timothy McVeigh’s death certificate and handwritten last statement was booted off an Internet auction site after users thought his sale was too gruesome.

School Trips Banned Amid Child Slave Panic
=================================
Burkina Faso ordered the suspension of school trips to Ivory Coast for fear that its children could be picked up as suspected slaves. Ivory Coast, facing criticism over the use of forced child labor on its cocoa plantations, has been repatriating hundreds of young people from Burkina Faso believed to be victims of a trade in child slaves.

Black Leaders Get Wacky!
=================================
Some black politicians and civil rights activists refuse to pledge allegiance to the U.S. flag, calling it a symbol of slavery and racial oppression. “This flag represents the former colonies that enslaved our ancestors,” says Tennessee state Rep. Henri Brooks. “And when this flag was designed, they did not have [black people] in mind.”

Save the Children… So We Can Have Sex With Them.
=================================
Nicholas Morency, 30, of Villas is the first person prosecuted in New Jersey for violating the 1994 Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.His 30-month prison sentence, however, also covers an unrelated offense, the possession of thousands of items of child pornography. Under federal sentencing guidelines, the child pornography offense is more serious and had the effect of giving Morency concurrent time for the Internet offense.

Visit Hawaii Before Its Too Late and They Are Too Old
=================================
Support is building at the State Capitol for an effort to override Gov. Ben Cayetano’s veto of a bill to raise the age when minors can legally consent to having sex. Hawaii’s present age of consent is 14, the youngest in the nation, and the bill would have raised the age to 16. In cases where 14- and 15-year-olds have consensual sex with a person who is at least five years older, the bill called for adult offenders to face up to 20 years in prison.

The Best Slaves Are Chinese Slaves
=================================
When a man offered Feng Chenyun temporary work in another city, she jumped at the chance. Barely literate and desperately poor, Ms. Feng had two children, 10 and 16, and it was nearly impossible to scrape together school fees from her small plot of rice and rape seed.

Her husband was working as a migrant laborer 1,000 miles away, in Guangdong Province. At 37, she had never left her county in Sichaun Province and was feeling restless.

“I went with him because he was offering me work,” she said, recounting from her small dark home the start of a tale that still brings tears three years later. “I just wanted to get out and earn a bit of money.”

Instead, Ms. Feng was kidnapped, drugged, placed on a train and sold for about $1,500 as a bride to a brick maker in faraway Xinjiang Province — becoming one of the tens if not hundreds of thousands of poor Chinese women who are sold on a black market each year.

A quick note, before beddy bye.

I feel good, if a bit curious. I’m thinking my love is happy and healthy… She’s a creature of depth, though, and I want that joy and well-being to permeate every corner of her being.

Taking a moment, to focus on her happiness and peace tonight, and through the future…sleep well, my darling.

I hope she manages to check her mail tomorrow morning… I think it’ll make her day a bit more pleasant…. a little trinket of happiness to go with her morning coffee.

Tomorrow… I want to synch up our lunches again, and break bread over distance. Things like that make m very happy, and I think she digs it too. I went to the grocery store this evening, picked up some snacks. (I forgot cherry pop tarts, but I have freezer pops to dine upon with her.

Newt’s loved having me home all weekend, and I’ve liked sharing so much time with 2 out of 3 of my favorite librans, too. In fact, he’s curled up in my indian-style lap as I type… I’m going to have to move him to my neck, so’s to accomodate sleepies.

one last thing. I want to get together with my love, and become these guys.

sweet dreams, adios, and see you tomorrow!

my mood right now is- my music right now is –


WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying “How do you do?”
They’re really saying
I love you

I hear babies crying
I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more
Then I’ll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Oh yea

spent the lion’s share of my waking moments with my sweetheart. we reaffirmed our love, talked about all sorts of stuff, from our future together, to our individual pasts.

I’m so full of love and delight right now, I can’t even utter it. I’ll be back later.
