Oh Yeah, I Forgot to Mention...

...that I'm sorry I've been MIA for a month.  School's started, work has been hectic, and I've been been stressed.  I'm back though, and I have a WHOLE LOT to post about...

Technorati

...has me listed as both a white liberal, and a communist. White, yes, but liberal commie????

Simply incredible.

I purchased an X-Box Elite, to supplement the Wii I've been using for a year about 4 months ago. I've been enjoying varieties of different games such as Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty 4, etc etc.

There has been a travesty. The machine now freezes once you turn the games on. So do I send it in to Microsoft? Do I bring it back to Walmart? I am beyond annoyed.

Future Vacation Spot

Thank you, National Geographic.

Sane Liberal

I just watched a great Bloggingheads, and Robert Wright really impressed me. For someone (I think,) is more of a scientist than a political analyst, he is very impressive. He talks to David Frum about a variety of different issues, and both presented very sensible arguments. I'm going to try an embed the video, although I don't see anything giving me the ability to do that on its webpage.

Amish Paradise

So my blog has been called little, and I've been called Amish today. I'd call that pretty eventful.



P.S. white pizza is very good. Mmmmmm.

Slavery is Awful...

...which is why I don't understand Michael Medved's newest blog post:

The idea that the House of Representatives now officially endorses the claim that “slavery in America resembled no other form of involuntary servitude in history” is an embarrassment—one more shameful demonstration that preening politicians are willing to assault history, the truth, and even their own country in their mad, headlong pre-adjournment rush to serve the stern gods of brain-dead, America-hating political correctness.

I understand this is somewhat politically correct, but it doesn't seem like there is any reason to get upset about this. We all hate slavery. We all know it was an abhorrent practice. However, its not like this resolution tarnishes our image, or compromises the national interest. It does go a little too far, basically saying Americans were the worst slave owners. Last time I checked, all of them were bad. Just some thoughts on an overly dramatic post on (not surprisingly) Townhall.

Matt's Replacement

Ta-Nehisi Coates is going to be the blatantly liberal blogger at the Atlantic. I think this a great choice, and the Atlantic continues its winning streak of great voices. There's no collection of bloggers better on the whole net.

Inconvenient

It gets aggravating to buy games ranging from $30-$50 and finding out they don't work anymore after you let someone borrow them.

I hate it.

Someone's Surprised...

This made me laugh.

Prince of Darkness Cited

Bob Novak hit a pedestrian yesterday in DC. Apparently, the racing lessons really helped him at the ripe age of 77.

My favorite liberal blogger...

...is leaving The Atlantic. Matthew Yglesias, everyone's favorite expert on liberal internationalism, mass transit, and basketball is leaving for the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank. I wish him luck, and hopefully he won't change from an independent thinking progressive to a cookie cutter democratic mouth piece. He's a very intelligent guy, from what I gather, and I look forward to see what he brings to CAP.
