I liked this, she said blandly, it made me feel things.
At first I thought this was a line from some satire...
"We are like tenant farmers chopping down the fence around our house for fuel when we should be using Natures inexhaustible sources of energy — sun, wind and tide. ... I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that. " - Thomas Edison, 1899

Yeah... I had some unfinished intentions here, but I'll go ahead and post this anyway.

What does one do with these confusing feelings, with the ravages of wanderlust that fall upon you, a reality check like the icy cold jet of water that is the price you pay for staying too long in the shower.
People who indulge in the Saturday Evening Broodfest and who are not within the age ranges of either 13-17 or 30-45 are, I think, of a rare breed indeed. To be in your early 20s and plagued daily by the idea that you've wasted your life is slightly insane. But only slightly--these are meant to be the intellectually productive years of life, where you are unstoppable, a dynamo, capitalizing on the virtuosity you'd spent your teen years honing to a brittle point. Are they not? Yoo hoo, if anyone older than I am can read this, kindly stand up and account for your mental whereabouts. What have you accomplished, and what was it that galvanized you to shatter the inertia? Or was there no inertia to overcome? Can you even hear me over the roar of your success? ?? ???

Dogfish Head Golden ShowerThe Imperial Pilsner that stands up against fake-pilsner imperialism! In the middle of the nineteenth century, in a land that is now the Czech Republic, the Pilsner beer style was born. The soft local water, the bottom-fermenting Bavarian Yeast, the local hops and the lightly toasted barley made it beloved the world over. Unfortunately, the industrial breweries here in America have spent the better part of a century diluting and bastardizing this beer style to its hardly recognizable current state of existence. Over three quarters of the beer made and consumed in America is sold as Pilsner. But it doesn't have the alcohol content or the crisp, bracing, hop character of the old world standard. In fact, it doesn"t even have the same ingredients. ...

I now seem to be fluent in both Qwerty and Dvorak.
If you don't hear from me for awhile, it's because I'm off applying these skills towards the completion of Extremely Important Tasks.
For real.

- Africans to Bono: For God's Sake, Please Stop!"
"Here's a radical idea: if we really want to help, why not ask Africans, not their governments, how they perceive the challenges before them, the dreams they have for the future, and the resources they think they need to realize them? Instead, we let a well-intentioned Irish rock star, a Jewish-American economist, and their Hollywood cohort become the voice and face of Africa. And in the process, the story of the other Africa, the Africa that is dynamic, creative, and wants to work as a partner and the leader of its own future, is being drowned out by the clarion cry of the anti-poverty glitterati–and our own appetites for gripping, salacious headlines of war, poverty, and grief."
- "Recycling is Garbage"
"A ceramic mug may seem a more virtuous choice than a cup made of polystyrene, the foam banned by ecologically conscious local governments. But it takes much more energy to manufacture the mug, and then each washing consumes more energy (not to mention water). According to calculations by Martin Hocking, a chemist at the University of Victoria in British Columbia,you would have to use the mug 1,000 times before its energy-consumption-per-use is equal to the cup. (If the mug breaks after your 900th coffee, you would have been better off using 900 polystyrene cups.) A more immediate environmental impact has been demonstrated by studies in restaurants: the average number of bacterial organisms on reusable cups, plates and flatware is 200 times greater than on disposable ones."
- "Recycling: What a Waste!"
"Who reaps the real psychic reward from recycling? The statist do-gooderand the obsessed conservationist. Since recycling is now a statist goal, the do-gooders and greens force the cost of recycling on the unsuspecting masses by selling recycling as a pseudo-spiritual activity. ... The other winners are the companies that do the collecting and process the materials, an industry sustained by mandates at the local level."

MC Hammer seems to be endorsing Ron Paul. It's in Hammer's blog.
That's all! There's no punchline-- what humor could I possibly add? "Stop-- financial reform time!"?
