It is my intense pleasure to be able to tell you, Dear Reader, that Aard’s migration from Scienceblogs.com to WordPress.com went swiftly, got all the text and copied all the images. Some have been rotated, but they’re all here as far as I can tell — all the way from the first entry back in December of 2006! I didn’t have to do any arcane tweaks and no external plugins or scripts were involved. Phew!
One thing that has not been converted is links between Aard’s entries. I’ve done this by hand for the most recent entries.

OT, I just want to cheer you up.
This is fun! Infowars: “Michelle Obama is a Transgender Satanist!”
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/dispatches/2017/10/19/infowars-michelle-obama-transgender-satanist/ -Alex Jones owns the show InfoWars, he is so crazy he inspired Stephen Colbert to invent his satirical alter ego “Tuck Buckford” (I recommend watching it on uTube)
Quote: “They want to bring this demonized culture,like literally Satanic culture, into the mainstream, have it at publiclibraries, and just pass it off as normal, accepted, this is just the norm now,” Shroyer said.”
So have they succeeded or is this just what they want? And who is Norm? Is Norm the Norm from “Cheers”? Should we all chant “Norm” whenever Shroyer mentions him? That doesn’t sound demonic to me. Maybe it sounds Normanic. What does Shroyer have against the Normans? Does he prefer the Saxons? I’m so confused.
