You know, I'm not shocked

Ahmadinejad says report of Iran trying to design an atomic bomb trigger is forged.

Here's the thing. Given how Bush faked his way into invading Iraq, even if Iran were trying to develop nuclear weapons, I wouldn't expect them to say so. Because while we might or might not actually do anything about it (chickenhawking from Limbaugh aside, we would be hard pressed to fight a land war in Iran right now), Israel would be sure to react badly if Iran admitted to a nuclear weapons program. And by react badly, I mean bomb the shit out of any site that they suspected was part of that program.

Still, you have to love quotes like this:

""You should know that if we had any intention of building a bomb, we would have had enough guts and courage to announce that without any fear from you."

And you know, I think they would. I mean, sure, if it was entirely Ahmadinejad's decision to announce it (it isn't), then yeah... he'd be shouting it from the rooftops. Mind you, he'd have company, what with all the other Iranians shouting "Death to the dictator!" (which, by the way, is Ahmadinejad and co.)

This is weird

Okay, so I'm still occasionally having my internet connection... disconnect.

But, and here's the weird bit, if I leave the "Network and Sharing Center" window open, I disconnect a lot less often. It's almost as if having it open, even if it's not the window on top, is reminding the computer "Oh yeah... da boss wants da Innernet ta work."
