(no subject)

I think an egg case broke open somewhere, because I keep finding tiny spiders in my room. I was apprehensive about this, especially about going to bed, but just now I felt something tickling against my nose, like a stray hair, and I brushed another tiny spider onto my pillow... it was so small and inoffensive that I hadn't even noticed it descend. I don't like the idea of them crawling on me as I sleep, entering bodily orifices, but I don't think they're capable of getting their fangs through my skin at that size.

weh weh weh

There was a very brief blurb on the Haaretz English website about Ahmed Chalabi having provided information to Iran which could 'get Americans killed,' thus this raid on his home, presumably. It's since scrolled off (it can be found here), and there seems to be no full article expanding upon this.

What's amusing is that Chalabi has been talking about how America is in trouble if this is how it treats its friends, 'friends' being him. Whether or not he understands that he was in fact a tool we used to put a legitimate face upon the invasion will depend on the size of his ego, I suppose... I gather it's substantial. When he figures it out, he'll join only the rest of the earth in realization of his position.

I also like his attitude of violation, because the cops came in and busted up this place he'd had handed to him several months ago. But Ahmed Chalabi might want to recall what happened to our 'friend' Ngo Dinh Diem once we decided he was not sufficiently servile...
