Potpourri for $1200
I fear that the random collection of thoughts aggregated in one post is dead now that everyone Twitters. I am chockful of angry thoughts tonight. I just need to vent some of them. The Philadelphia Eagles have signed Michael Vick. WTF? (I’m guessing this is, verbatim, [Read More]
N.C. Stupid
I can’t find a link, but I heard on WUNC that Public Policy Polling, the nonpartisan Raleigh, N.C.-based polling firm, found that roughly half of North Carolina residents either don’t think or don’t know if President Obama was born in the United States. [Read More]
Religulous
Religulous – 8/10 Perhaps not the best documentary ever, but it articulates my thoughts on religion in a way my mind is attuned to. Most of my friends would not agree with the points Bill Maher makes here, and I do not wish to highlight our differences now, so [Read More]
Whatever’s not locked down is yours

Maddow on Obama
Rachel Maddow pretty much sums up what I think about the presidency of Barack Obama From Real Time with Bill Maher (7/31/09): I feel like Obama ran as a moderate, centrist, not very revolutionary guy, and I feel like he’s governing as a moderate, centrist, not very [Read More]
