Did I miss a memo?

Can someone please explain to me the sudden dissapearance of  "you're" from the English language?  Its place is being filled for the time being by "your," which is unfortunately not quite up to the job.  Release "you're" from whatever dark dungeon it's being held in, and return it to common usage.

post Kip ergo propter Kim

Toiletries were banned on planes, and no planes blew up, therefore we thwarted imminent attacks by liquid mixing bombers.  Um, no.  And yes, Kip Hawley is an idiot.

I am reminded of this exchange:

Homer: Not a bear in sight. The "Bear Patrol" is working like a charm!
Lisa: That's specious reasoning, Dad.
Homer: [uncomprehendingly] Thanks, honey.
Lisa: By your logic, I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
Homer: Hmm. How does it work?
Lisa: It doesn't work. (pause) It's just a stupid rock!
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: But I don't see any tigers around, do you?
Homer: (pause) Lisa, I want to buy your rock.

Good Day

Dawkins and Harris both have new books out. And I can take my oh so dangerous tootpaste and moisturizer on planes again. All in all, a pretty good day.

Finally, a new computer

So, I have been silent for awhile, not because I wanted to be, but becuase I didn't have a computer I could bear using for long enough to type a post. Yes, my ancient, beloved, and abused laptop was on it's last legs, and I didn't have the wherewithall to do anything about it.

But. . . I am typing this on a brand-spanking new MacBook!! Ah, the joys of permanent employment, I can actually buy new toys.

I'm back, I hope at least weekly if not more frequently.
