you ain’t goin’ nowhere

Clouds so swift
Rain won’t lift
Gate won’t close
Railings froze
Get your mind off wintertime

You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere by Bob Dylan

picture number two

I let flickr post the last picture for me. Not so sure about that. Let’s see how this one works… This is an exciting picture of my record player, some records, some CD cases, and some books. Because I’m sure you couldn’t figure that out by looking.

[I think the pic might be a bit out of proportion from when I resized it, but it's a stupid picture anyway, so I'm not going to worry about it. If you want to see it looking slightly better, click on the photo & view it my Flickr page.]

Also, notice the sag on the bookshelf! Classy, huh?

Here’s a really bad picture I took of the capitol. I was standing in the street, so I had to hurry, plus I don’t really know how to use my camera or any of the fancy-schmancy internet photo hosting stuff yet. In other words: this is a test… this is only a test.

Rejoice

I finally finished The Plot Against America. What a piece of crap.

Are you seriously still not convinced?

Even Greg Easterbrook now believes that global warming exists.

I don’t agree with his solutions, but this op-ed demonstrates that even global warming’s most ardent skeptics are coming around. Not sure what to do about the people don’t believe in global warming and also have no connection to reality. (Easterbrook was off base on global warming, but he’s no idiot and has at least a modicum of objectivity.) But at least some of the (relatively) thoughtful opponents of the science proving that global warming exists and is a problem are coming around.

Noah Digital in Stereo

I’ve finally joined the modern world: I got a digital camera (as a gift from my parents for my upcoming birthday).

It’s almost small enough to swallow, which is exactly what I wanted.

Perhaps I will now add more personal pictures to this site.

Any suggestions for which photo hosting website is the best? Or the advantages and disadvantages of the different services?

(And, yes, I do like Wu-Tang. What of it?)

Let’s do it once… and take pictures!

Senator Benston dies

Times article

CNN.com article

“Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy.”

The late Senator and Secretary of the Treasury will be remembered fondly in these quarters.

Michelle Malkin

Did that get your attention?

I care not about Michelle Malkin. But I don’t want to be the only person in the world with no blog posts about her. So: Michelle Malkin, Michelle Malkin, Michelle Malkin.

That is the last I will speak on this non-topic.

okayalright

We were friends for goodness sake
Till that summer up at the bay
Sweetness & innocence gone away
Oh how I miss them good old days

okayalright by moe.

Is it obnoxious that I did that?

Naked News

The Naked Guy is dead.

[The title of this post was obviously intended to be a joke on the world-famous Naked News programs. But I've gotten an unusually high number of hits on this post, making me think people are coming here either (1) for nakedness or (2) Naked News news (that is, news about Naked News). So, um, if that's you: sorry. My bad, I guess.]
