This happy little camper is Sobek the crocodile.  I was going to write this blog in the persona of Sobek, and say things like "Because John Kerry is such a flip-flopper, I'm going to drown his children in the depths of the Nile and devour their corpses.  I must be appeased!"

But I doubt I could maintain interest in such a shtick for very long, so I can't imagine any readers would.  Instead, I'll just keep calling myself Sobek because my background is green.  If I ever change that, then I suppose the whole house of cards will have crumbled.  I'll have to go back to commenting on other peoples' blogs.  Or whatever.
