Word of the Day: book google
Like back in the day...
book google: when you need to figure out something, so you look it up in a book, like in the olden times, when dinosaurs ruled the earth.

Quote of the Day: Jon Talton
In a country where high self-esteem is unearned...
They say the old end up in another country even if they stay where they are. Such a realization is coming younger now, at least to those who are paying attention.
The popular story concerns the opposite direction: The supposed postponed adulthood of Americans with twenty-and even thirtysomethings living at home with their parents, etc. The New York Times Magazine devoted a long thumbsucker asking, "Why are so many people taking so long to grow up." Talk about a foreign country: My generation couldn't wait to get out on their own. I can't even imagine.
[T]his current "won't grow up" phenomenon is rooted in privilege. It also includes many middle-class young adults who are living off the wealth that their parents inherited from a generation of Americans that actually made things and fully participated in the fruits of the dying middle class. The latter will not last.
[S]till, it makes you wonder about the future of a society where infantilization and sloth are becoming not just acceptable, but a norm to be celebrated and studied and explained by professors and shrinks.

Dog Days: it's hot, it's humid, the sun has no mercy...
We're all just waiting for it to be over

Quote of the Day: Mark Twain
On people's beliefs in religion and politics...
In religion and politics people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at but have taken them second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing.
Samuel Clemens

Barack Obama Is The Worst President In American History
What will a little scandalous gossip, name recognition and high dollar, quippy commercial get you?
In Arizona's Congressional District District 3, a Primary win...
Arizona's most recent carpetbagger wannabe politician (in the mold of McCain), Ben Quayle, himself was surprised at his primary win in a crowded and contentious race. He'd been publicly beaten up so much that everyone, including himself, thought he was toast. Maybe it was this commercial that pushed him over the edge.
