I guess I am going to really have to pick up my blogging. Instapundit is out of town, now Layne and Welch are quitting. That really is a tough blow.
John Cole started Balloon Juice early in 2002. Those who have followed along know that this has been quite the journey.
I guess I will now
I guess I will now not go see Minority Report- at least not now that Tom Cruise has proven himself to be a total jackass.
“I think the U.S. is terrifying and it saddens me,” he told the British paper the Daily Express. “You only have to look at the state of affairs in America.”
Bugger off, Cruise.
Despite my sporadic posting as
Despite my sporadic posting as of late, a number of blogs have added me to their links. If you are one, and do not find yourself listed on my links to the left, simply drop me an email and I will gladly add you. I have an open link policy- I will add you if I know about you.
It appears that J.C. Watts
It appears that J.C. Watts is stepping down and not running again. I always enjoyed him, but it seemed to me he was becoming increasingly strident in recent years.
One amusing note- CNN was not content to believe Watts when he said he was leaving to spend more time with his family. They reported that he was leaving for three reasons:
1.) Upset about not being able to advance in the leadership.
Which is patently absurd, since he was the number four man after eight years.
2.) Upset about the Crusader artilery program being cancelled.
And yes- CNN misspelled artillery on the teleprompter- later on they called him a “conservtive.” Not to mention the assertion is absurd. Idiots.
3.) Wants to spend more time with his family.
I guess after 8 years of Clinton, we just can not take anyone at their word. New possible motto for CNN: “The Conjecture Now Network.”
It sounds like the Colorado
It sounds like the Colorado Blogger Bash was a smashing success.
Oh, and BTW- Jeff Goldstein and the crew at Protein Wisdom have moved to a new url. It is http://www.proteinwisdom.com
Make sure you update your blog.
I am back home in
I am back home in Morgantown, and let me tell you, it sure is nice to be sleeping my own bed. It is also nice to have a desktop computer with a fat 21 inch monitor, rather than that dinky little laptop. And cable modem. How did we ever survive with 28.8 and 56k modems?
Posting is light because I
Posting is light because I am still out of town on a crappy 28k modem through aol, and because this laptop does not like blogger for whatever reason.
One thing that I did note today while trying to read all the news- a pop up add that almost got me to click on it. The ad was from contentwatch, and it asked in big bold letters:
PORN ON YOUR COMPUTER?
At first I thought it was an offer for some, then I realized it was just going to scan for already existing porn. I then thought, what the heck, maybe I have misplaced some and I can consolidate it. I didn’t, though, cuz I hate spammers.
This post ought to get Kevin H. at Ideas riled up. Hehe. Just kidding, Kevin.
