Finally getting  a chance to write for the first time in 12+ hours...way too much packing/cleaning. Can't write much now either - I have a closet to pack up, general debris to gather off the floor, and surfaces to clean. But I feel...naked, or somehow wrong having not hit the news aggregator in 12+ hours. I have no idea what's happened in the world, other than that baseball didn't go on strike, to my dismay. I was really hoping the season would be over - put me out of my misery. But hey, basketball's back (nominally). Pierce looked great last night - admittedly, everyone looked good vs. Algeria. =) Well - that's all for now. Gotta work.

Bring the revolution, brothers and sisters: http://www.blah3.com/money.html and http://www.blah3.com/money2.html. The one nit I have to pick with the message - don't be afraid to vote left of Democrat as well. Compromise is not enough - we need more than just the not-so-evil status quo.

Just Trust Us [New York Times: Opinion] Am I the only one who's a bit amused that those fiscally responsible Republicans have contributed almost all of the deficit spending of the last thirty years while the tax-and-spend Democrats actually got us in surplus? Just imagine how well the budget would do if we keep going left-wing and elected socialists...

Cyprus and the Clash of Civilizations [Washington Post: Editorial] Cyprus is just messed up - I wish I could word it better than that, but I can't. A large amount of what I know about Cyprus comes from sci-fi writer Bruce Sterling, who wrote a great article about Cyprus for Wired a few years back, and then used it as a setting in his latest novel, Zeitgeist.
