woensdag 8 september 2010 Up at 12:34. Turn on France 24 with the iPad. Intriguing interview with author of Les Nouveaux Terroristes - Mathieu Guidère. For more and more young Westerners from Muslim or converted, the holy war is a way to give meaning to their lives. They become radicalized and willing to join Al Qaeda or other Islamist terrorist organizations.

I turn off the iPad after that. I toss and turn. Eventually, I dose back to sleep... dreams with a French accent. The dream about a party in a big house. Up again before the alarm. Toast and fried egg for breakfast. Turn on John Fugelsang. They talk a lot about Terry Jones and the potential Koran burning event on Saturday. Shower. Early to work for the annual food-handling & pesticide meeting... with the parents taking care of the kids. Lunch breaks for Starfish and Seahorse teachers. Walk to Whole Foods to get dinner. Drop off stuff. Walk down to d'town Post Office to mail Comcast bill. Back to my place. The World talks about President Obama's visit to Parma, Ohio. Check CNN for the same story. Report - Obama Slams GOP Leadership, Economic Policies.

I need something less serious. How about something bigger than Terry Jones? Yes! Ren And Stimpy! A dull ghost tries to scare Ren and Stimpy when they enter a haunted house, but the ghost's plans to scare Ren and Stimpy seem to fail. Metaphors and parallels? Perhaps.
