Saying and Meaning

TPM highlights a great study about the characteristics of the Tea Party Movement and, of course, showing how ridiculously hypocritical it's supporters views are.  But of course, it was done by academics so it can't be trusted.

Putting things in perspective

Via Dean Elmore (I know, right?  He's the man!), a little web tool to understand the scale of existence.

"Well I gaht her numbah"

Via Alex Whalen, those "wicked smaht guys ahcross tha rivah" at MIT might have just cured viral infections.  Yeah, not just one - ALL OF THEM.

Yeah, so not going to blog tonight - going to try to sort through/load the pictures from this past weekend onto my computer without it blowing up my computer. And I have a good post I feel coming on, it just needs some more time to simmer.

In the meanwhile, you can read about The Great Jewish Hope (and I'm throwing a copyright on that right now).

San Frantic

Sorry for the hiatus all. Between moving this week and traveling to the City (and surrounding areas) by the Bay this weekend, the bloggy schedule has been all screwed up. We'll try to get back at it tomorrow with some reflections.

As promised

Long day

We're not going to get in a legit post tonight - between moving couches, moving beds, moving moving stuff, swimming, seeing a friendly face, and finally doing laundry while watching Shark Week, I'm spent.

Just know Jon Stewart was on point about the debt crisis endgame tonight, and you'll probably be able to watch the clip here tomorrow.

Life Decisions

I like to think I usually make pretty good decisions.  I tend to be very logical, and try and remove my emotions from it and think level-headedly.  I usually kinda pride myself on it.  And this usually is exasperated by money being involved.  Bonus multipliers for that the more money that's involved.

I had no intention of buying a car today.  Heck, I really just went out to get a new mattress.  But I was over in the neighborhood and stopped at the nearest by car dealership, intending on looking at a totally different car.  But then, I kinda just wanted to check something else out.  And then I drove it.  And then I was there for the rest of the afternoon haggling and trying to convince myself that I could really do this.

So when I came home with this today, after getting what I felt to be a really good deal, well all I can say is:

Giddyup, Pony.
