saurabh is a manic- depressive graduate student with delusions of
overturning well- established social hierarchies through sheer weight of cynicism. in his spare time he writes self-effacing auto- biographical blurbs.
dan makes things up casually, effortlessly, and often. Never believe a
word he says.
hedgehog burrows between San Francisco and other areas rich in roots and nuts. His father says he is a literalist and his mother says he is very smart. Neither of them say aloud that he should spend less time with blegs and more time out of doors.

Babelfish for politicians
You know, there's a lucrative sideline available here to us reality-based folks as translators. Observe this quote (talking about violence around the referendum in Egypt):
White House press secretary Scott McClellan denounced the beating of protesters during the vote.Translation:
"We're very aware of the reports," McClellan said. "There is no excuse for attacks on peaceful demonstrators."
Asked specifically about women being beaten, McClellan said: "Anyone who attacks peaceful demonstrators should be arrested and tried. That's our view."
Asked specifically about women being beaten, McClellan said: "I think we've made it pretty clear how to respond to this sort of situation: punish a few hired goons, toadies, or flunkies and keep pointing towards how you've, ah, 'dealt with the problem,' so to speak, until the press gets bored and moves on."
