It's March

Ok, it looks like I accidently took the second half of February off. Wasn't intentional, it just kinda happened that way. A few observations I've had building up inside over the last few weeks:

• What have I been busy doing while I haven't been blogging? I watched all three Lord of the Rings movies in a three day stretch - extended editions. Now I feel like I understand geeks, Led Zeppelin and colonialist mythology much better.

• I finally ventured over to the right-wing blog, Powerline. The first blogger there's name is "Hindrocket." The second blogger's name is "The Big Trunk." I know it's kinda cheap to do nothing but make fun of their names, but jeez...could they hide their classic cases of "Sexually Repressed Conservative" syndrome a little better please?

• Why do they hate us so much? I'm talking about the right-wingers of course, and why they hate the left so much. Here's a link to the transcript of their brainwashing, er, "training" program for future right-wingers at the Leadership Institute. The Leadership Institute is run by Morton Blackwell (the guy responsible for the "purple band-aids" at the RNC) and it's proud alumni include Grover Norquist, Ralph Reed, Mitch McConnel and, whatdyaknow, Jeff Gannon/Jim Guckert.
