The 1,700-strong Iraq Survey Group (ISG), responsible for the hunt for weapons of mass destruction whose existence was the justification for the invasion and military occupation of Iraq, wrapped things up and called it quits yesterday. The CIA-affiliated group will now concentrate on extracting information from Iraqis to help the US win the war in Iraq. One felt almost tempted to joke if the Americans had looked up Saddam Hussein’s backside for WMD until one realized that the Americans had in fact done that with quite a lot of other Iraqis, as the photos from Abu Ghraib show with disgustingly hirsute detail.
“I felt like we would find weapons of mass destruction . . . like many . . . many here in the United States . . . many around the world,” Bush told ABC’s Barbara Walters, according to excerpts from an interview airing on Friday in which he failed to be clear whether he meant that many in the world were as misinformed as he was about the existence of WMD in Iraq or that there �€œlike many . . . many “weapons of mass destruction even in the US, not to mention �€œaround the world.”

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
