ok...so my working definition/mission statement for this blog is something like this: "a chaotic mish-mash of shit that is representative of the chaotic mish-mash of shit that is my mind."
Now let's see if the blog accurately reflects the mission statement. A review of the contents of the past week should suffice:
the Atlanta child-exorcism-murder, medical arcana relating to rattlesnake bites, the abolition of the British slave trade and an employment posting, a pedagogical anecdote, the Americanization of heaven, Errol Morris and Robert McNamara, religion and the evolution of morality, journals of civil war medical practitioners, lovely monkey-girl gambling, 19th century euphemisms for venereal disease, changing(?) American funerary practices, endocannibalism and cake, Bunni's strip club funeral and the lap dance of lament.
mission accomplished.
