The Bailout Rant

I’m not sure where I stand on the bailout that failed yesterday.  Will the market work itself out?  Will we get plunged into a massive depression?  No body seems to know.  What I do know is that congress disgusted me yesterday.  Not because the bailout didn’t pass, but because the way it didn’t pass.
If this [...]

Next Dogs And Cats Will Be Living Together

It kinda makes me a little ill to admit it, but I 100% completely agree with Fareed Zakaria.
Palin Is Ready? Please.

I Don’t Dispute This At All

From LibraryThing’s Unsuggester:

Well, that didn’t work out

I had the theme all set up, then when I added a graphic logo at the top it completely messed things up.  The posts went way to the bottom of the page and I couldn’t get them back.  I even down loaded a new copy of the theme and tried to replace the files I [...]

I thought I would [...]

Getting Started with LibraryThing

Blame it on Twitter

Recently I’ve been having trouble keeping up on my blogging.  It’s not that I don’t feel like writing.  In fact, I am writing more then ever.  The problem seems to be that it has all been on twitter.  The instant gratification of those short bursts make anything else seem like work.
The problem is, I feel [...]
