Friday Random Musings


It's early. The stock market just opened a few minutes ago and it's down 500 points. This looks like some serious bad news.


I was listening to Sean Hannity on Nazi Radio 1600AM Redding the other day. I'm convinced he's the very worst hate-baiting echohead wingnut on the radio. He's so shameless in his punditry that, like my friend Aaron, I have a hard time believing that HE believes what he's actually saying. He is after all a paid entertainer.


Rush is still the best the right has. I disagree with him almost all the time, but he's witty, occasionally very funny, and actually stomps echoheads instead of Hannity, who seems to welcome them.


Newsvine.com is a cool centrist site. Tip to Jim who turned me on to it. I've stopped visiting Drudge because it's too depressing and DailyKos I only visit for the abbreviated pundit roundup.


Listening to: Bon Iver, MGMT, Radiohead.

Reading: Marc Hauser, Ian McEwen, Joseph Campbell

Watching: Prizefights, Bad Campaign Ads.


Work was a whirlwind this week. Barely came up for air. One thing I've learned is that not all of us are cut out for change. For some, it's a 430lb ogre. I used to be like that in some respects. I'm better now.
Today's is my first day off in 11 days. I get to hang with Elias. I think we'll paint something cool, eat ice cream, go buy mommy something nice, and cook. A full day.
