I'm temporarily managing the Iowahawk Ping List. If you want to be on or off this list, please FReepmail me.
I'm no longer managing these ping lists:
Eric Blair 2084 now manages the South Park Ping List. You may FReepmail him here.
The Spirit Of Allegiance now manages the SoCal (Southern California) Ping List. You may FReepmail him here.
Slings and Arrows has incorporated the Miscellaneous Ping List into his THIS-IS-NOT-A-PING-LIST. You may FReepmail him here.

In spite of my nickname, I'm a heterosexual male. I'm a conservative libertarian Republican. I'm also a Zionist.
My interests include, but are not limited to, classical music, computing, politics, reading, South Park, food and spirits, science fiction, Judaism, and professional wrestling. I'm an expert in exactly none of these areas.
The following quote is from Parliament of Whores: A Lone Humorist Attempts To Explain The Entire U S Government, by P. J. O'Rourke, 1991:
I have only one firm belief about the American political system, and that is this: God is a Republican and Santa Claus is a Democrat.
God is an elderly or, at any rate, middle aged male, a stern fellow, patriarchal rather than paternal and a great believer in rules and regulations. He holds men accountable for their actions. He has little apparent concern for the material well being of the disadvantaged. He is politically connected, socially powerful and holds the mortgage on literally everything in the world. God is difficult. God is unsentimental. It is very hard to get into God's heavenly country club.
Santa Claus is another matter. He's cute. He's nonthreatening. He's always cheerful. And he loves animals. He may know who's been naughty and who's been nice, but he never does anything about it. He gives everyone everything they want without the thought of quid pro quo. He works hard for charities, and he's famously generous to the poor. Santa Claus is preferable to God in every way but one: There is no such thing as Santa Claus.
