I Am Hilarity
I just did a search for myself on Cuil.com, the new search engine developed by some ex-Googlers. I did not figure as prominently in the returns as I should have, and for some reason, this image comes up as the cover of my book I, An Actress:
I did find one link I hadn’t seen before, though. This website was kind enough to link to a post I wrote awhile ago that I totally don’t remember writing. And if I do say so myself, it was hilarious! I had to follow the link to prove to myself that I was the one who wrote it. Somewhere in time, another version of me is chuckling to himself, thinking about how much of a nice surprise the future me is going to have when he stumbles upon a link to this post and realizes he was the one who wrote it. Thanks, past me! Good job!
Some super classy behavior was on display today in the Senate:
Today was a historic first for religion in America’s civic life: For the very first time, a Hindu delivered the morning invocation in the Senate chamber — only to find the ceremony disrupted by three Christian right activists.
The three protesters, who all belong to the Christian Right anti-abortion group Operation Save America, and who apparently traveled to Washington all the way from North Carolina, interrupted by loudly asking for God’s forgiveness for allowing the false prayer of a Hindu in the Senate chamber.
Hindus … aren’t those the guys who worship elephants with twelve arms and stuff? Well, guess what, pagans … YOU JUST GOT SCHOOLED BY THE POWER OF JESUS. Freedom of religion does not give you the right to believe that elephants have twelve arms. It just means that you can worship Jesus anyway you choose.

You are indeed hilarity! In the rollicking realms of hilarity, it is agreed that YOU RULE. And cuil.com does seem to need loads more work. They were unable to find a single listing for me, whereas Google lists a satisfying number. Back to work, folks…!
