Net Casting

I cast my net a bit wider with the "next blog" randomizer. I have been following the Repub/Democrat arguments on rightwingsparkles blog but to be honest I cant see any difference between the two. Sure, Clinton looked nicer, but what did he do? Blair looks nicer than the Evil Howard but what difference did electing him make? I'd almost rather have the party which blatantly doesn't give a fuck rather than the one that pretends to.

I don't care about either of them. I see no way forward without some sort of coming together of left and right thinking PEOPLE on a human level which bypasses politicians. I think we are all capable of this but very few want to.

"Dont follow leaders watch your parking meters" as Bob Dylan once croaked.

In no particular order:

Peacemaking is a Catholic viewpoint which is more or less the exact opposite to Rightwingsparkles.

Barcepundit blogs about intelectual looting (Global warming? What global warming? etc.)

Blanton's and Ashton's blogs an unlikely looting story where an 18 year old steals a bus and drives the thing to Houston.

"I just took the bus and drove all the way here...seven hours straight,' Gibson admitted. "I hadn't ever drove a bus."

The teen packed it full of complete strangers and drove to Houston. He beat thousands of evacuees slated to arrive there.

[…]

Authorities eventually allowed the renegade passengers inside the dome. But the 18-year-old who ensured their safety could find himself in a world of trouble for stealing the school bus.

"I don’t care if I get blamed for it ," Gibson said, "as long as I saved my people."

My head is buzzing. I started clicking links and ended up on some milblog, like often happens these days, and whoosh, hours had gone. My head is really buzzing. I'm gonna stop doing this shit.

I know what you mean. I am not sure how productive it is.

I was looking at some very interesting bondage/dominatrix blogs linking through from ex-millenial girls friends earlier.

I think I'm going to switch off the varification and let the robots back.
