…whilst keeping a stiff upper lip at all times.

Sarah Lawrence: distinctly red-faced

Dear Friends,

I regret to announce that my little comment yesterday was not aimed in entirely the right direction. Specifically, the writer whose conspiracy theory I was discussing was not the George Smith I found so delightful at the Youth 4 Liberty Summer Camp, but another George Smith (Just how many George Smiths are there anyway?). The writer I quoted was in fact, George F. Smith, and not in fact, “my” George Smith, who is in fact, George H. Smith.

Deepest apologies George F. Smith and particularly George H. Smith! I am so embarrassed! What a complete idiot!(1)

George H. Smith has been very gracious in his response to my gaffe, and has not even drawn to my attention the fact that I, with my almost-as-common name, should jolly well know better. It is mortifying to find that I have done to George H. Smith what so irks me myself that I occasionally think that no reasonable jury would convict if I were to take some small action – with a Colt M4A1 with M203 grenade launcher.

Well at least this clears up the otherwise quite inexplicable mystery of why my Y4L speech appeared to have made such little impact on the writer of the piece I quoted!

Sarah NO, NOT THE COLLEGE Lawrence

(1) I stress that the word “idiot” refers to myself and not to the friend who drew my attention to “our” George Smith’s alleged article. I may not be able ever to face appearing in public without a paper bag over my head or ever again, but I am, as one would expect from an English woman such as I, keeping a stiff upper lip and taking responsibility for my own actions (and those of my friend, whom I’ll never trust again… I’m sure he did it on purpose to make me look silly… not that I hold with paranoid conspiracies or anything).

It seems that our regular samizdata.net e-mail (as found in the sidebar) is now operational again and can be used once more.

Alas we seem to have lost some of the e-mails that were sent to us over the last week (i.e. since late last Friday) unless they were sent to our emergency address.

Just a reminder that our e-mail is still knackered, and has been so since last Friday. Please use our emergency e-mail rather than the one in ther side bar to contact us.

I am quite satisfied with the Café Press on-line shop we already have for Samizdata.net (they are currently running a sale in fact!), but does anyone out there know of any other on-line shop providers which offer tee-shirts in colours other than Ash Grey and White? I would love to do black and/or deep blue shirts with our logo in white as well!

Please e-mail us (see sidebar) if you know of any.

Thanks.

After casting our eyes enviously at the Instapundit’s and Bitter Girl’s on-line shops, we decided to also open an on-line shop for Samizdata.net as well (click here or see our sidebar under ‘Network’)

Now you too can prove you are one with the sinister globalist Illuminati (not to mention defray the cost of setting up this nice new blog!)

Samizdata.net is our new look blog that replaces the blogspot hosted/blogger.com powered Libertarian Samizdata. We are now a Movable Type powered blog, fully searchable with thematic, author and date indexed archives.

It will take a while to fully index all our old archives but they are available indexed chronologically already.
