Quote of the Indeterminate Time Interval – Hillary Clinton

I can’t believe she actually said this:

But the bottom line is, whose side are you on? Are you on Qadhafi’s side or are you on the side of the aspirations of the Libyan people and the international coalition that has been created to support them? For the Obama Administration, the answer to that question is very easy.

Congratulations, Hillary. You’ve made me too furious to comment coherently.

No, not that one. For some reason, none of the tracks for any of the seven Garden of Sinners movies have descriptive names; they’re all M followed by a number.

In spite of their unoriginal naming, they’re solid tracks from composer Yuki Kajiura, full of strings, chanting, and techno.

The movies are good, too, if confusing; this track is from the fifth film, Paradox Paradigm. If you liked Tsukihime and Fate/stay night, then you’ll probably like this; it’s from the same creators.

Unfortunately, the US blu-ray release was in very limited quantities (and prohibitively expensive); you can rent them on the PSN for $2.99 per movie (though you can’t buy them). After downloading the movie, you’ll have two weeks to watch it; once you’ve watched it once, though, it expires in 24 hours.

The PSN releases have Japanese audio and English subtitles. Maybe if there’s enough demand, Aniplex will license the series out for wider DVD/blu-ray release.

I’m not betting on it, though.

You know, if we’d continued drilling in the Gulf of Mexico

Instead of forcing oil companies to stop drilling, then maybe we wouldn’t have to tap into the strategic reserves because of unrest in a pissant backwater that we don’t even get oil from; 85% of Libya’s oil goes to Europe!

So not only are we wasting our strategic oil reserves for no good reason, we’re spending our own money and materiel to support Europe’s incompetent attempt to depose Qaddafi.

This must be that smart diplomacy I keep hearing about.
