problems within problems

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

Art........
OK so since the summer my creative obsession has been growing. It started in my drawing 2 class with a professor who would turn out to be the man who has completely changed how I both look at and create art, Ben Anderson is an interesting man The first serious piece of the semester was Morf, a Gargoyle I created using mostly found metal from a local bike shop (I have taken to visiting on a weekly basis to acquire additional materials....Morf was the first time I have had a piece of art that I am woking to create completely dominate my thoughts.

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.
