Greyhound profile with illustrated embellishments
Greyhounds are gentle, graceful dogs who are known for their sweet temperament and sprinting capabilities. These regal hounds enjoy the comforts of life and make excellent family pets.

Greyhounds are graceful, lanky, and sweet-tempered dogs that are beloved for their tender demeanor and sleepy personalities. When they are not cuddling on the couch, these hunting hounds love long walks and chasing after squirrels that catch their eye. Greyhounds' history as racing dogs belies the fact that they enjoy the slow lane comforts of life and make excellent family pets.
Despite their reputation as the world's fastest dog, they are often nicknamed "40-mph-couch potatoes" because they are perfectly content to lounge around the house or accompany owners on a leisurely walk. Greyhounds are often described as cat-like because of their regal, graceful behavior.
These large hounds weigh between 60–70 pounds, but they are aerodynamic and carry almost no body fat. A greyhound's natural coat is short—providing very little warmth in the winter or insulation in the summer—and its shades can span black, white, blue, and red to brindle and fawn.

Originally bred for sight hunting, greyhounds have an exceptional range of vision. On walks, their wide-set eyes are prominent and alert as they search for scampering rabbits up to a half-mile away. While humans only have about a 180-degree range of vision, greyhounds boast a 270-degree range of vision—and their keen ability to spot neighborhood squirrels helps them live up to their sighthound origin.
Greyhounds are much larger than their cousin, the Italian greyhound. While both slim breeds are mild-mannered and loving in nature, their differences begin with their stature. The greyhound stands around 27–30 inches tall and far exceeds the Italian greyhound, which only reaches 13–15 inches.
While a greyhound's personality can vary based on his lineage, he is generally an even-tempered, mellow dog who enjoys relaxation as much as humans. Given the breed's sight-hunting background, greyhounds have a high prey drive and can pursue small animals that might catch their eye on a walk—but they are trainable with a little patience (plus positive reinforcement!) and make excellent dogs for mature families or empty nesters.
"There's a reason why there's almost a cult-like following. They are wonderful dogs. They are really hard to beat as a pet," says Kimberly Fritzler, manager of Windrock LLC, which is recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) as a platinum breeder of merit for greyhounds. "Even though they are a big dog, they don't act like one."

Once a greyhound is brought home, he may need some time to acclimate to his new surroundings and bond with his family. It's especially important to be patient with rescued greyhounds when introducing them to new environments and other animals, says Heather Venkat, DVM in Tempe, Ariz. and consultant with VIP Puppies.
"Greyhounds are very sweet dogs, but folks looking to adopt one should know that many greyhounds only know life on the racetrack," Venkat says. "Therefore, greyhounds may be more scared or nervous in new situations, requiring a lot of time and patience to introduce them to everyday objects like cars, stairs, and toys."

Living Needs
Like most large dogs, greyhounds need a fenced-in yard with plenty of space to roam. While greyhounds often have a reputation for being all-too-willing couch potatoes (and they often are later in life), these hounds still need an enclosed yard that allows them to explore and safely sprint after any wildlife that catches their eye—without the possibility of running out of their yard.

Even with a backyard, greyhounds should not be expected to stay outside for long periods of time because they are not designed for extreme weather. These dogs are naturally slender with body fat that's far lower than most other breeds and short fur, so owners need to invest in a winter dog coat to protect them against cold weather, even on short walks. In the summer, greyhounds cannot be left outside for long periods of time because they do not have a coat that insulates them from the heat and can be susceptible to heat exhaustion.
RELATED: How Cold Is Too Cold for Dogs To Go Outside in the Winter?
Greyhounds are social animals. While they can be left alone for short periods and value their independence, they are happier with companionship, both with two- and four-legged family members. But because of their lanky build, young greyhounds who are only a few months old can be injured by higher-energy dogs during play, so it's important to surround them with dogs who share their gentle demeanor.
"Even an older dog could actually hurt them quite badly. People see them and think that because of their size they are mature enough, but they aren't," Fritzler says. "They have no body fat."
"There's a reason why there's almost a cult-like following. They are wonderful dogs. They are really hard to beat as a pet. Even though they are a big dog, they don't act like one."

While greyhounds are indoor dogs, they still need daily walks for exercise. Despite their reputation as world-renowned sprinters, greyhounds are not naturally well-suited for long-distance runs. Given their sensitive joints and increased risk for overheating, most greyhounds are better built for owners who want leisurely daily walks followed by couch cuddling.
"They are the fastest of our canines, but they are not a jogging dog," Fritzler says. "If you want to go for nice, long walks, then they are game—particularly if there are squirrels in the area they can look at. But to run forever, pounding on concrete? No."

Even with their love of frequent exercise, greyhounds should not be encouraged to play immediately after eating a meal because of their predisposition for bloating and torsion, a condition when the stomach twists on itself. Owners will need to monitor their greyhound after a meal to ensure they are not experiencing gastric problems that can turn deadly.
Dani Edgerton, president of the Greyhound Club of America and a certified dog trainer in Columbiana, Ohio, says a greyhound is likely bloating if he is standing with an arched back, cannot get comfortable, and has a hard stomach. Once a greyhound bloats, he's at a high risk of his stomach twisting and needs to see a veterinarian immediately.
"Be careful when you feed them, and know the signs," Edgerton says. "Bloat cases can be rescued if they are caught in time."
Exercise and meal-time needs aside, greyhounds are quite easy to care for when it comes to grooming. They are clean, low-odor dogs who do not drool excessively. Their thin coats and slight frames just require a soft brush or gentle brushing glove to minimize seasonal shedding. And, like all dogs, their nails need to be trimmed so they don't clack across the floor.

A healthy greyhound will live between 10–14 years, making the breed a wonderful long-term companion. Fritzler advises aspiring greyhound owners to work with recognized breeders who belong to the Greyhound Club of America—the national breed club for greyhounds within the AKC—to ensure they are bringing home a healthy dog.
This breed can be predisposed to a few health issues, including arthritis and hip problems that can often be addressed with a vet-recommended dog joint supplement. Other issues—including the potential for inherited heart problems and eye conditions—are harder to treat and need to be disclosed early.

Greyhounds aren't couch potatoes 24/7. These dogs need daily exercise to stay healthy, and a leisurely walk is A-OK.
"I can't say this enough: Get your puppy from a reputable breeder. If you buy from a person that is a member of the AKC Greyhound Club of America, we are all bound by a code of ethics, so you have some protection," Fritzler says. "If you're going to buy a puppy from a breeder, don't buy one that doesn't have health screenings with verifiable results online."

Fritzler recommends that potential greyhound owners ask breeders to show the results of a cardiac evaluation from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, an eye exam from the Canine Eye Registry Foundation, and ask whether the dogs have been screened for a neurologic disorder called neuropathy. Former racing greyhounds are also at a higher risk for an aggressive bone cancer called osteosarcoma, which cannot be screened for, but owners should be aware of the risk.
The greyhound is believed to be among the oldest species of dogs, with depictions of the breed appearing in ancient Egypt and ancient Greece, according to the AKC. Early greyhounds were used for their ability to hunt by sight—a skill that was enhanced by exceptional speed that allowed them to catch rabbits and other prey. Greyhounds were recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1885.
Renowned for their unrivaled speed, greyhounds started being used as racing animals in the 1900s. According to the National Greyhound Adoption Program, greyhound racing began in California in 1919 and then spread to 13 other states. But recent laws against dog racing in several states—including Florida and Iowa—are expected to significantly diminish the modern greyhound racing industry and the availability of retired track dogs.

Traditionally, thousands of former racing greyhounds have been adopted out to homes every year in the United States. But, the new laws combined with a general decline in interest around dog racing may reduce the number of ex-racing-pedigree hounds. Though the number could decrease, demand for greyhounds is still strong.
"They're marvelous dogs and good in almost all situations," Edgerton says. "If you're getting a puppy, you don't have to worry about them with kids and you can train them. They are good at agility and obedience and most things. ... I would say that the primary issue is that there just aren't that many available."
Greyhounds are the fastest dog breed on Earth, with record-holders sustaining an incredible 40–45 miles per hour when sprinting.
President Rutherford B. Hayes had a pet greyhound named Grim.
Greyhounds are referred to as "universal blood donors." According to the Greyhound Health Collective, 85 percent of greyhounds have a blood type that can be donated to all other dog breeds.

Highly-Classified British Military Documents Found at Bus Stop
The documents were found in a soggy pile behind the stop.
PA Media / Tony Tran
Where'd I Put Those Papers… ?
A set of sensitive British military documents were discovered in a wet pile behind a bus stop on Tuesday.
In all, 50 pages of UK Ministry of Defence documents were discovered at the bus stop in Kent, England, according to the BBC. The documents detailed military objectives and insights regarding a British destroyer as well as highly-sensitive plans marked "Secret UK Eyes Only" that outlined potential UK plans for its military presence in Afghanistan following a Nato withdrawal in the region.
The government employee in charge of the documents initially reported them missing. The ministry announced it was launching an investigation into "an incident in which sensitive defence papers were recovered by a member of the public."
John Healey, the UK defence secretary, told the BBC that he was surprised that the documents left the Ministry of Defence in the first place — adding a level of intrigue to the whole situation.
Secrets Within
The person who discovered the papers reached out to the BBC when he realized what he found, so the news organization had the chance to go through and detail its findings.
Many of the documents were marked "official sensitive" — a lower level of sensitivity classification. It included email printouts, PowerPoint slides, and official briefs regarding the Russian military's reaction to the HMS Defender, a British destroyer, passing through waters near the coast of Crimea.
However, the most sensitive document went into details regarding an American request for British military presence in Afghanistan.
"Any UK footprint in Afghanistan that persists... is assessed to be vulnerable to targeting by a complex network of actors," the documents said.
An investigation is underway to figure out what exactly happened. Regardless of how the documents actually ended up at the bus stop, one thing is for certain: This is a very embarrassing situation for the UK government. It would be a lot funnier if it wasn't also kind of terrifying at the same time.

Amazon said on Saturday two people were killed when part of a distribution warehouse collapsed in severe weather in Baltimore.
Severe storms with strong winds tore through much of Maryland on Friday evening.
Amazon's senior vice-president of operations, Dave Clark, said in a tweet on Saturday there were two fatalities at the site, on the south-east side of the city.
Baltimore fire officials did not immediately respond to phone or email messages.
Amazon spokeswoman Rachael Lighty said the men worked for an outside company. No one else was injured, she said.
News reports cited city fire officials as saying one man was found under debris on Friday night and later pronounced dead, while the second man's body was recovered early on Saturday. Officials said a 50ft wall at the warehouse collapsed.
Fire chief Roman Clark spoke to the Baltimore Sun. Images taken from outside the facility showed a badly damaged truck and a knocked-over light pole, the Sun reported.
The National Weather Service had warned of thunderstorms in the area, with some producing gusty winds and heavy rain.

George Herbert Utter (July 24, 1854 – November 3, 1912) was a U.S. Representative from Rhode Island and the 49th Governor of Rhode Island.

Biography
Born in Plainfield, New Jersey, Utter moved with his parents to Westerly, Rhode Island, in 1861.  He attended the public schools of Westerly and Alfred (New York) Academy.  He graduated from Amherst College, Massachusetts, in 1877.  He was engaged as a printer and publisher of the Westerly Sun before serving as a personal aide on the staff of Governor Augustus O. Bourn 1883–1885.  He served as member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives 1885–1889, serving as speaker the last year.

Utter served in the Rhode Island Senate (1889–1891), as Secretary of State of Rhode Island (1891–1894), and as Lieutenant Governor (1904) and Governor (1905–06) of Rhode Island.

Utter was elected as a Republican to the Sixty-second Congress and served from March 4, 1911, until his death from liver cancer in Westerly, Rhode Island, November 3, 1912.  At the time of his death, Utter was running for re-election to Congress.

He died on November 3, 1912, in Westerly, Rhode Island. He was interred in Riverbend Cemetery, Westerly, Rhode Island.

Q: Why savepath resets userpath in Matlab? Condition: unsuccessful userpath with addpath and savepath
Differential conditions: unable to start Matlab as sudo/root here
Support: MATLAB is not intended to be run by the super user - Service desk.
Settings
echo "export MATLAB_USE_USERWORK=1" >> $HOME/.bashrc
matlab -nodesktop -nosplash -r \
    "userpath('/home/masi/Documents/bin/matlab/'); exit;"

Situations which cause userpath to be empty ('')

*

*Test code 1
userpath('/home/masi/Documents/bin/matlab/')
home='/home/masi/';
savepath(fullfile(home, 'pathdef.m'));
% ~/pathdef.m originally but reject because expansion of ~ not working
userpath

Output
''

Expected output
'/home/masi/Documents/bin/matlab/:'

Complete reiteration from Matlab's prompt after starting Matlab
>> userpath

ans =

/home/masi/Documents/bin/matlab/:

>> home='/home/masi/';
>> savepath(fullfile(home, 'pathdef.m'));
>> userpath

ans =

     ''

*Test code 2
if (userpath == '')
    userpath('/home/masi/Documents/bin/matlab/')
    addpath('/home/masi/Documents/Math/')
    savepath '/home/masi/pathdef.m'
end

% Visualising path in Home > Environment > Set Path

Output: /home/masi/Documents/Math/ stays in path, but /home/masi/Documents/bin/matlab/ not. Expected output: both stay in path.

*Test code 3
% Edit the Matlab preference file as root. [Kusalananda]
% My startup.m
userpath('/home/masi/Documents/bin/matlab/')
addpath('/home/masi/Documents/Math/')
savepath '/home/masi/startup.m'

% Visualising path in Home > Environment > Set Path

Output: /home/masi/Documents/Math/ stays in path, but /home/masi/Documents/bin/matlab/ not. Expected output: both stay in path.

*Test code 4
% Use MATLABPATH environment variable instead. [Kusalananda]

Across the Country in 100 Days
Daren Wendell, in a quest to raise money for clean drinking water in Africa, ends an ambitious journey in New York.
By Brian Dalek
Brian Dalek
Daren Wendell first realized how daunting his lofty goal appeared just five days and more than 100 miles into his long running journey.
"I looked at the map on the back of my trailer, and I had moved like [an inch]," said Wendell, 33, of Canton, Ohio. "I was like, 'Ohhh nooo.'"
His accomplishment already seemed great a few days in, but this was the warmup. His mission of "100 marathons in 100 days" across the country was at its beginning.
Despite the lost toenails, blisters, and hip flexors that felt like they had rigor mortis setting in, Wendell will complete his journey on Friday—running from the Santa Monica Pier in California on New Year's Day to New York's Times Square, a route of nearly 2,900 miles.
When he takes his final steps in the Big Apple, he'll have raised about $130,000 for Activewater, the nonprofit organization he cofounded in 2008 that provides safe drinking water to communities across Africa. His total surpassed his original goal of $100,000—coming mostly through 1,000 online donations and matching gifts. (You can see Wendell's full trip and donate to Activewater at RunDarenRun.com.)
"The reason we're out here is to serve 2,500 people in Ethiopia," Wendell told Runner's World Newswire from his trailer on day 97 of his excursion. "We did that. It's a success. I just want to celebrate that at the end of it."
Daren Wendell continues his run through Allentown, Pennsylvania, just days before finishing his cross-country run.
The marathon per day goal is actually a little misleading—he averaged just over 29 miles per day, usually starting his runs around 7 a.m. and going until about 3 p.m. at a 10- to 11-minute mile clip. His team consists of only his wife, Danielle Wendell, and friend Ryan Beerwinkle. Both handled the driving, mapping, and other logistics of the trip so Wendell could simply run each day.
There were bumps in the road. An old woman in New Mexico nearly chased him when she thought he was disturbing her cows while running on the side of Route 66. Winds of 48 mph whipped at him in Oklahoma. Some runs took place on paths covered in nothing but ice.
For Daren, however, the good days negated the bad. For example, the city of Joplin, Missouri, welcomed him with open arms, with 20 runners from the local running club joining him. Moments like these across the nation helped spread his message, and kept him sane.
"Daren is an extrovert and needs people," Danielle Wendell said. "Having a group run with him always encouraged him, boosted his mood, and made the miles seem to fly by faster."
While he did this run to provide clean water to communities in Ethiopia, this isn't Wendell's first crazy outing. He bicycled coast-to-coast in 2005 (4,400 miles), and he's walked from one side of the country to the other (3,400 miles in 364 days). Wendell has been able to accomplish all this despite having a metal nail—called a Stryker T2 Tibia Nail—inserted into his leg following a soccer injury about a decade ago.
But the noticeable limp Wendell has as he grimaces over a short curb in his Karhu Strong shoes (he replaces them every 10 days) is from the thousands of miles—not the nail. "Back when they put it in, it was new technology," he said. "They gave me the option of a cast and [a long] amount of recovery time or try this new technology with a shorter amount of recovery. I said, 'I'll take that!'"
Wendell's next steps will be more subdued. He's going back to Canton with Danielle in a few weeks. He said she's sacrificed a lot through all his ventures. Now a different journey awaits.
"We're excited to settle down," he said. "Maybe purchase a small home and start our family. That might be the next challenge."

Clinton campaign criticizes Comey's 'strange,' 'unprecedented,' 'deeply troubling' letter on email review
Hillary Clinton's campaign fanned out across the Sunday morning talk-show circuit to call on FBI Director James Comey to release more details about newly discovered emails he said were "pertinent" to the bureau's investigation into her use of a private email server.
"As far as we know now, Director Comey knows nothing about the content of these emails," Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, Clinton's running mate, said on ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos." "We don't know whether they're to or from Hillary at all."
Kaine called Comey's decision to send a letter to Congress Friday announcing a review of the emails — discovered on the laptop of disgraced ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin and the subject of an ongoing FBI investigation into his alleged sexting with a 15-year-old girl — "extremely puzzling."
"Why would you release information that is so incomplete when you haven't even seen the material yourself?" Kaine asked. "Eleven days before an election — why would you talk about an ongoing investigation? I just have no way of understanding these actions. They're completely unprecedented. And that's why I think he owes the American public more information."
"If he hasn't seen the emails," Kaine added. "I mean, they need to make that completely plain."
Yahoo News reported on Saturday that FBI agents had not been able to review any of the newly discovered material because the bureau had not yet gotten a search warrant to read them.
According to ABC News, Comey reached out to top Republicans and Democrats in Congress on Saturday to brief them on the agency's review.
But as of Saturday night, the FBI was still in talks with the Justice Department about obtaining a warrant that would allow agency officials to read any of the newly discovered emails, and therefore the agency was still in the dark about whether the emails include classified material the bureau has not already seen.
Exclusive: FBI still does not have warrant to review new Abedin emails
On CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta cited the Yahoo News report, saying Comey "should have taken further steps" before thrusting the email issue back into the race for the White House.
"To throw this in the middle of the campaign 11 days out just seemed to break with precedent and be inappropriate at this stage," Podesta said. "If they're not significant, they're not significant. So he might have taken the first step of actually having looked at them before he did this in the middle of a presidential campaign so close to the voting.
"I don't fault him for taking a look at whatever he's found," Podesta continued. "But at this stage, having taken the step, then he at least ought to explain if he thinks they're significant or not significant. Let him come forward and say why."
In July, following an 11-month investigation, Comey recommended that no criminal charges be filed against Clinton over use of a private email server as secretary of state.
"Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information," Comey said at that time, "there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."
Podesta said he believed Abedin, who had cooperated with the FBI's original probe, had "complied to the best of her ability" and "turned everything over that she had in her possession."
On NBC's "Meet The Press," Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said if the newly discovered emails are, in fact, from Abedin, then he assumes "they'd have to be redundant because she already turned over all of her emails."
At a rally in Florida on Saturday, Clinton said that it was "pretty strange to put something like that out with such little information right before an election."
"It's not just strange," Clinton said. "It's unprecedented. And it is deeply troubling."

America: Society Iraq War Journal
9 Comments on Bile
My apologies to everyone who reads these pages, for my long absence. I just moved to a new place (albeit temporary housing for now) and started a new job at a university. The whole start has been so harrowing and busy that I had no time for even my own thoughts, let alone writing here in the blog. I would probably have ended up writing about all my complaints about the absolutely antediluvian (and feudal) Japanese university system. Since I want to keep this blog as sane and contemplative as possible from now on, I decided to wait until my heart had settled down into the new lifestyle before I wrote about what's happening. I want to start a new section called "Compass Walks", in which I start out in a new landscape and try to learn about its natural personality, but since I haven't had a moment to myself yet and haven't even taken one walk yet beyond an evening run one time, I still don't feel I can write an honest assessment of the new place I have arrived in since I haven't had a chance to really concentrate on using my senses there yet. So allow me, for now, this bit of a commentary below, however distasteful it might be to some.
Today, after a more-or-less media-slanted series of so-called "fair trials", Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death. I am no fan of the death penalty, believing it to be little more than an emotional reaction of revenge that has no place in a justice system, in which people's personal feelings toward an accused person should have no bearing on the outcome of a verdict, and so personally the verdict seems meaningless, in that nothing was learned, nothing bettered, nothing gained for society, Iraq or the world. I have no affection for Hussein either, however, and so feel ambiguous about the retribution that Iraqis rightfully claim for his punishment. He has done some awful things to which he should be held accountable. His passing will leave no hole in the landscape of human morality.
But from what dubious beginnings Hussein's downfall precipitated. Like Robert Fisk I feel that all the justifications that the United States and Britain used to attack Iraq neither make right having attacked a sovereign, non-threatening country in the first place nor excuse the disgraceful way in which Hussein was dragged through media and used as Bush's scapegoat. By America's own too-oft-touted standard of "innocent before proven guilty", Hussein should at least have been given the benefit of the doubt in his own trial and, considering that he was supposedly tried for crimes against his own people and not against a single American citizen and therefore only the Iraqi judicial system should have been involved, the American government should have had absolutely no say in what went on in the trial. That so often during the trial the Americans were consulted and their ultimatums heeded made the entire affair a grand farce, a public hanging in the town square of American media discrimination.
If the standards used for condemning Hussein are to be considered just and inevitable, then America and Britain and any other country which falsely accused and then went ahead and attacked Iraq against the wishes of the majority of nations in the world, then it stands to reason that Bush and Blair and all other ministers involved should also be standing trial for "crimes against humanity". Nearly every accusation used against Hussein to bring him to trial apply directly to Bush and Blair, most especially Bush with his Hitler-like railing against the United Nations during the lead-up to the Iraq War. Not to mention the scale at which Bush committed his crimes.
And yet, Bush is getting off scott free, no one able to lay a finger on him, the American media protecting his image as if it were above reproach. The Iraq War is now openly and almost universally recognized as having been wrong, hundreds of thousands of people have "needlessly" died, and now the Americans are talking about pulling out, leaving Iraq in a truly dismal state, much worse than anything under Hussein. Why is it that there are no universal calls for Bush's answering to his crimes against humanity? Why is it that my writing something like this conjures up fear as I write it, echoing the same repression that Hussein used against any of his detractors? Can anyone explain to me exactly how Bush is any different from Hussein? Or how Blair is any different from Wormtongue?
These last few years have turned me into a reluctant cynic. I trust very few people now, even some people whom I formerly called friends. The tragedy of New York, but much more so the crimes of the Afghan and Iraq Wars have given me glimpses into the human heart that I never really believed before. In some of the ensuing arguments about going to war, arguments with people, every one of them American, whom I would before have counted to always be there no matter what, people with whom I made precious memories during my years in the States, suddenly the divisions in belief left rents that, even after three years have never healed. I saw the ugliness in people, of what war claims of people's hearts and minds, of the aftermath of rhetoric and media propaganda, how people can become so committed to their idea of the truth that they become blinded to the bonds of friendship and love that once had crossed borders unheeded (and I'm including myself here). I am bitter with having lost friends, people who had meant more to me than the justifications for war would ever match. The lies and deception that brought on the shaky world view we live with now, though they seem distant and unrelated to our personal lives, have in fact affected each of us very deeply, in ways from which we may never be able to extricate ourselves within our lifetimes.
If for nothing else, I condemn Bush for having taken from me the trust and loyalty of friends, for having sown the seeds of doubt and fear. I condemn him for having brought to the world a sense that there is more evil in the human heart than goodness and beauty, for having made the word "terrorist" a part of our daily vocabulary. I condemn him for having forced so many of my very close Arab and Moslem friends to live by looking over their shoulders. And for, though all my life before I have never carried any kind of hate within me, towards anyone, for the blinding, wordless fury that erupts through me every time Bush's face appears on the television or in a magazine, a face now so repugnant and so associated with war, hypocrisy, intolerance, irresponsibility, and destruction that I have to turn off the TV the moment the visage appears before I lose my cool.
Hussein has been condemned to death, but nothing at all has changed, except a greater sense of world weariness and sadness.
