Well, here I am, after a crisis of major proportions. I lost my template after an attempt to add the html code for a Bush clock (a minute by minute countdown to the end of the reign of terror) to the bottom of my sidebar. Obviously, the disappearance of the template was engineered by rightwing fundamentalists. Fortunately, I recovered the template via a google cache & page source html, but the archive links are inoperable. I may at some point try to rescue some of them, but I'm way too busy to tackle that at the moment. Next, I couldn't post anything. So this is a test.
