First it was the front page of USA Today and several other papers, now my little sister is on the front page of the MIT Technology Review. Go read the article: Why Heather Can Write. And to think, she used to eat dirt…
I’m sure you’re all on the edge of your seats over this one. I’ve talked about it ad nauseam since September when I decided I didn’t have to decide who to vote for right then. Now, I do. The VA primary is Tuesday, and I’ve finally made up my mind. Right this minute, I’m comfortable […]
This may be where I’m staying in France: Hotel L’Ermitage du Riou. Holy crap, I’m really going to France! Last Saturday we made a trek to the local used book store, where I picked up a beat up French/English Dictionary and a French Grammar refresher. I also got biographies of Truman and Lincoln for the […]
Joe drops out. I’m happy. Lieberman came off as a whiner and a scold during the campaign, and honestly, during the debates, sounded like a Republican. He just didn’t click with me, or with anyone I know. I feel bad for the folks who support him, but I’m glad the field’s narrowing. Now that Joe’s […]
You’ll never guess where I’m going next week. No, really, you won’t. Give up? I’m going to France. Better yet, it’s not just France, it’s the Riviera. And the best part? It’s for work, so I won’t be paying for it (well, I’ll be paying for some of it, and then being paid back, but […]

I had high hopes for the Dean campaign. I wanted it to be successful enough to show that we can change […]
Information wants to be free, sure. But it wants to be free because it wants to find other ideas, copulate, and spawn whole broods of new ideas. — the cluetrain manifesto – chapter five It’s all the things I think I thought, but were too chicken to come out and say… and that’s scary. If […]
In church yesterday, we had a lesson about strengthening the family. It was all going fine until it was derailed by a comment about gay marriage and an upcoming “assault on the family” waged by legislation and the courts. Being a good little Mormon, afraid of outing myself as a liberal to this room full […]
No, not that doctor, Doc. A great post on why Bush has to go. And coming later today, a big long post on this whole gay marriage/constitutional amendment stuff and how silly it all is. You can get ready for it by reading this excellent analysis of the debate from the BBC.
I love it that the President wants some ribs. I’m not one to deny a man his ribs, but could the President answer one question? What’s the point of posting it to the White House website when he says absolutely nothing of substance? Was it that Karl wasn’t there to give him the answers? One […]
