problems within problems
by Tony Peters on February 19, 2009
I read Daily Beast for mush of my news because I like the tone and because there aren't many conservatives left who don't deal exclusively in hate (Hannity Rush etc) I actually used to consider myself a conservative but I can't reconcile their embrace of ignorance nor their dismissal of a changing word. Anyway Meghan McCain wrote an interesting piece on the old guard's disregard for the internet

the thing that bothers me most about the GOP is how far it has shifted in the last 20 years they aren't the party I grew up in nor are they a party I share much with anymore. But the biggest problem I have with them is that they aren't a party that seems to care about the country anymore

Today Michael Steele said, "I don't do 'cutting-edge.' That's what Democrats are doing. We're going beyond cutting-edge." I would say that the party also has a problem with irony.

Jindal really sounded Childish to me but beyond that I pretty much write off someone who embraces Intelligent Design but especially when they have a Biology degree from Brown for pre-med. You have to wonder what coming out of his mouth he honestly believes in and what he is saying only for political gain. Yes I know all politicians are FOS but he presents the his lack of character and believability so openly

I miss the piazza
well after 22 hours in transit I have returned from Sardinia to the land of really bad Capoccino. I spent my birthday (Saturday) sitting in the Piazza in La Maddalena drinking Capoccino...there really isn't any comparision to the wonderful sense of relaxation that I felt there. Go »argh
I got a phone call this morning from work (I'm on vacation) wondering if I know that I'm transferring in 2 weeks???? SAY WHAT???? yet again (this is the 3rd time) the Navy is transferring me to another job in the same area. Go »Driving in europe.
OK one of the more enjoyable part of my job is the fact that I get to drive overseas. Part of this is due to the fact that I have had an international diving permit for 7 years now and another part is that I am actually used to driving on the wrong side of the road. (3 years in Japan). Go »Mornings....
It's cool today. As I pull on my jacket, the leather creaks as the zipper closes. The engine, a bit reluctant to turn over in the brisk morning air, settles into a rumble as I finish donning my gear. Go »more liquid metal
My sculpture Professor decided that the burner we use for melting metal wasn't working out well, since it was designed for a forge and not a furnace he had a furnace burner made.....it used to take hours to melt 20lb of bronze, it took us 40 minutes yesterday. I have never seen the crucible as hot as it was. Go »

It's a shame that she'll get brushed off for merely being McCain's daughter and not a person of influence. Everything she says about this is right.
