Heard 'round the blogosphere...
In light of President Bush's latest decision to allow our elections to be monitored, La Shawn Barber has sworn off voting in the next presidential election. Tempting.
Avery Tooley just hit his three-year anniversary of life without a television (AKA an idiot box). How novel. Speaking of which, when's the last time we read one?
Joe Carter at the Evangelical Outpost and Michael King, and even bloggers who call me confused remind us that no matter what tripe Jesse Jackson may fabricate, Jesus was not a Liberal. I would just like to remind everyone that political parties are evil. All of them.
Joshua Claybourn informs us that although Bush has been a big spender, Kerry is an even bigger one. I happen to share Mr. Claybourn's gripe with the Bush administration.
Heard about this on the news, but educator Joanne Jacobs writes about a recent story on a school that's been hoaxing Mexican immigrants, charging them for phony diplomas, and teaching them falsehoods like America has 53 states instead of 50. Well, if you include the "state of oppression", the "state of blame" and the "state of corruptness" why yes, I suppose we do have 53 states.
Yes a couple more links, deal. (I'm making up for lost time)
Also by way of Joanne Jacobs' informative blog, I got hipped to this new effort, a hot new magazine geared towards "the young intellectual" called Citizen Culture. I shall eagerly await its future.
Lastly, a friend was kind enough to hip me to this site, which is bound to throw off your work-place concentration for at least an hour. By the way, yes it's workplace safe.
Novels? I've moved into an urban fantasy phase lately. I just finished Laurell K. Hamilton's latest, "Cerulean Sins," Jim Butcher's "Blood Rites."
