Two bits of news that have no impact on anyone except me!
First, a generous reader has gifted to me my very own domain name. So now, you can reach Steve Janke: Angry in the Great White North at stevejanke.com. Update your bookmarks and blogrolls. As you can see, I'll be incorporating my name into the Angry brand.
Clarification: I'm still at angrygwn.mu.nu and have no plans to be re-hosted. The new domain name just forwards to mu.nu. In the long run, this is better should I ever move to a new host, since I can simply re-point stevejanke.com and everyone will auotmatically get to the new site. This does mean though that you don't have to change your bookmarks and whatnot.
Why? Because a lot of people were quite adamant that using my name was not just a good idea, but critical to my "future". Apparently they have a better idea what that might be than I do.
Second, as part of that roll-out, I've reworked the Angry logo with the new URL:

If you haven't already checked the online store, go to the right side of the blog and click on the pink tee. A number of neat products have been emblazened with the new logo. And if you're wondering, yes, people have been buying these things.

Congratulations on your new domain and keep up the excellent work.
Now, how long will it be before Abbas posts his (her?) usual long post on this one?

I'd like to see a no holds barred cage match between The angry beaver and Ed the sock.

Taliban of Afganistan escaped to TORABORA's Mountains around the Kandihar; how about Paul Martin and his Liberals? Where are they escaping on Monday, January 23, 2006?
The GULAG Maker Der Great, Captain Paul Martin, whose shares in Cordex Petroleum Inc in Alberta were enriched by the trasfer of the petrodollars of Saddam Hussein, is mourning where he must go for living after receiving order to evacuate the SUSSEX Street in Ottawa!
Mr. Tongsun Park, the former spy of South Korea, who sent the cheque of petrodollars of Saddam Hussein to the Cordex Petroleum Inc in Alberta where Paul Martin has shares, has been arrested in USA.
Prime Minister Paul Martin, the great expander of poverty, slavery and GULAGs, had chosen the big corporations of TORONTO's Bay Street instead of being with people and for people!
Nobody asks why Royal Bank of Canada gave over $ 160,000,000 to Paul Martin for buying of CSL from Paul Desmarais, sr. in Pover Corporation in Montreal?
If normal people, even are not getting $ 1000 from Royal Bank, how Paul Martin recieved over $ 160,000,000?
The man of flags from Liberia and Barbados is not ready to say, why he and his friends have deported scientists into GULAG of unemployment, poverty and the gradual deaths?
I am one of those scientists, who has a PhD degree--- recognized and accepted PhD in Canada---, and has been tortured in Paul Martin and his Liberals's GULAG.
How long terror of scientists?
How long BIOTERRORISM?
Do Martin and his Liberals understand the meaning of humanity?
Are they humans?
At least, the need to behave as humans!
I am very disppointed.
Yours sincerely,
A. Diba, PhD

Do you have a preference for how folks should list you in a 'groll? And how folks should cite you in a link?
AGWN? stevejanke.com? Angry? Angry in the Great White North? steveJanke is Angry in the Great White North?
Of course, you're out of communication for the day, but when you get a chance, you might recommend your preference (not that everyone will follow it; people are funny that way).
My own take would be 'Steve ("Angry") Janke' or some take on that theme.

THE BLACK CLOUDS AND LOSS OF ELECTION FOR THE LIBERALS
The big problem on Monday, January 23, 2006 is that Paul Martin's Liberals will fail to understand that the election is a political battle because our people in Canada would convince our chicken politicians, who call themselves as the Liberals to pull out.
Most Arrogant-Yet-Chicken Politicians will understand why people don't like them any more.
When these Liberal's politicians like Paul Martin are rushing around Canada and behaving like the chikcen with their heads cut off; and are accusing other politicians and the foreign countries for the GULAG of Canada, then people are going to punish them on the upcoming elction on Monday.
People are full aware of the expanison of GULAG of poverty, unemployment, addictions, slavery, gangs, crimes and the gradual deaths in many major cities, which are the impacts of years cutting of the budget in the social programs, employment insurance, housing, education and health care issues.
People know very well the roles of Paul Martin and his Liberals as the dearest darlings of TORONTO's Bay Street for the misery of their country.
Paul Martin and his Liberals, instead of respecting of scientists and academic immigrants, they have deported them into thetorture's chambers of GULAG of unemployment, poverty, slavery, ignorings, humiliation, ailments and the gradual deaths.
The scientists in Canada need to study and to know what chickens are these Liberals who are rushing around the country with their heads cut off and are causing harms to the lives of people and are promoting the politics of lies and decption in Canada.
As we know chickens, along with quail, pheasants, and turkeys, belong to the order Galliformes. They are used in biomedical research for studies in neurology, embryology, endocrinology, microbiology, the skeletal system and nutrition; but what chickens are the Liberals, who are not beneficial to people but also they are GULAG- MAKERS of the country for destructive biopolitics.
Those Liberals, who have not learned and don't want to learn the alphabet of the PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY and RESPONSIBILITY in their schools, have been appointed in many strategic positions of the country in the instiutions and departments; they are appointed because they enjoy from the patronage advatages of the prime minister, who appointes thousands his own people and friends in thousands positions.
Paul Martin indirectly says: forget about the Westminister-style democracy and the role of Parliament!
As we know, recently, in the election, Paul Martin said that he has very good DNA for the National Unity in Canada with the characteritstic flags of Liberia and Barbados in his sheeps; hence, the scientists doubt whether or not he has any humans' DNA!
Most chicken genes have equivalents in human beings, so using the chicken to identify what genes are for has a direct impact on our understanding of human biology. The scientists are experimenting Martin's genes for the National Unity of Canada.
Paul Martin's claims for having very high quality of the human's genes or the human's DNA for the National Unity, is a matter of surprising in the world of science and and politics; it is also a matter of doubt for many people who know that he is a big liars.
His friends in the politics of lies and decption are Blinda Stronach Bin Magna, Tony Valeri Bin Real State, Tony Ianno Bin Ignoring, Mario Silva Bin Chicken, Scott Reid Bin Beer & Popcorn, David Herle Bin Earnscliffe & CSL, Ruth Thorkelson Bin Forest & Lies, Tim Murphy Bin Bay Street's Law and some others, whose genes and DNAs are not clear-cut determined if they are real parts of the humans' genoms or the chickens' genoms??
If the Liberals in the Paul Martin's party have the genes, which might be the parts of the genes inn the chikckens, then the political observers after discussions with the molecular biologists must compromise for any appropriate results; some nurologists are guessing that these Liberals may have the chickens' brains, which are inappropriate for working in the government; they are the chickens' brains and the government's responsibilities are huge and like a dinasaur; how can a brain of a chicken function in the body of a dinasaur?
The scientists are hoping that for many gene-function experiments in the genes of the politicians in the Liberal party like Paul martin, who are claiming that they have the best DNA for the Nationa Unity; these Liberals' chicken cell cultures and embryos will eventually prove to be better test subjects for helping to people who would like to participate in the upcoming election on Monday, January 23, 2006 than laboratory mice, who are not the politicians in the Liberal party.
I am a scientist with a PhD degree in the biomedical sciences from the School of Medicine in Germany; my qualifications and PhD have been recognized and accepted in Canada, but these Liberals and Paul Martin are ignoring my voice and my rights to life.
After more than 2 years and thousands applications to all institutions, to MPs, to Ministers, to Public Service Commission, to Human Resources and skills development and to the Prime Minister's Office, they have ignored me; they have ruined my life; they have ruined my professional development despite having an accepted and recognized PhD in Canada.
Bioterrorism of the Liberals means shooting into the brains of scientists and academic immigrants who are victims of the politics of lies and decption.
Definition of bioterrorism is based on harms on the bios of people; Paul martin and his Liberals in Canada are shooting into brains of scientists; the Charter of Rights and Freeoms is a kind of toy for their games in the politics.
Paul Martin and his Liberals are not believing on the Charter of Rights.
If we have two politics: the politics of fear and the politics of trust, then people know Paul Martin and his Liberals have chosen the politics of fear.
The politics of trust means eleimination of GULAGs and trust to people; the Liberals and Paul Martin are not trusting to people of Canada.
The politics of fear is the instrument of Paul Martin and his Liberals.
They have terrorized over 2 years of my life; they ruined my professional career in Canada.
They are committing BIOTERRORISM; I expect the independent judiciary council will judge these crimes.
Every crime must be punished.
On Monday, January 23, 2006, people of Canada will punish the politics of lies and deception of these pseudo-Liberals who have created GULAG against the lives of people.
I thank you for your attention.
Yours sincerely,
A. Diba, PhD

Can we vote Abbas Diba off of the Island?

Seconded.

But then the island would be without a doctor!

Mr. Mac needs to respect democracy.
Democracy does not mean life for Mac and his friend.
If you have not expericed being in the torture's chambers of GULAG of poverty, unemployment and the gradual deaths in Canada, how you allow yourself to ignore people and their lives?
If you are not going to understand and help to these people, whose rights have been violated in Canada, at least don't harm them; isn't too much expectation from you?
Respectfully yours,
A. Diba, PhD

"Do you have a preference for how folks should list you in a 'groll? And how folks should cite you in a link?"
Damn, hadn't thought of that. I guess I should migrate people over to stevejanke.com, but I also believe in grassroots -- let the people decide.
