Introduction
As my first order of business, I suppose it would be appropriate to reflect on why I would start a new site on which to blog. I noticed my old blog had not been used in a long while, with a multiplicity of reasons for its’ demise. The first was simply that I have not had enough time to write much of anything beyond the occasional school paper or response piece. Second, I didn’t (and don’t) have internet access or a computer at my place of residence, making casual blogging difficult. I used to write most of my old stuff at night, and I can’t do that when my computer is at work. Third, I had been working on my internship since the end of last July, and I just got done a few weeks ago, leaving my days surprisingly wide open. I am hoping it will lead an increase in my reading, which usually leads to an increase in writing.
I am hoping to use this space to respond to the important issues of our day, and I have created post categories to focus my efforts. Additionally, I am hoping to keep things fresh with the addition and deletion of relavent and irrelavent links on the right column of this page.
About News
Here are a couple of suggestions for you (if you do not already do these things):
(1) Read the Drudge Report at least once a day, and follow appropriate links.
(2) If you are having a hard time following a complex news story, try checking it out on Wikipedia. Make sure the entry has footnotes. This is helpful for stories such as the Scooter Libby-Valerie Plame CIA leak affair and the State of Texas raid on the FLDS YFZ ranch.
(3) You are not going to learn anything from cable news, but it is entertaining to watch. Keep this in mind as you get your news from the printed (or electronic) page. 
Election 2008
For all the suckers (probably nobody who is actually reading this page) who think Obama is (1) a respectable candidate capable of “rising above partisan politics” and illuminating himself as a bright, brilliant shining ray of light from heaven, and (2) a candidate with no scandals/baggage, I have this to say: you are living in a 1960’s LSD dream. After you get done googling the words ‘britney spears’ and ’sex,’ you should google the words ‘william ayers.’ Or ‘tony rezko.’
Top 10: female trailer-trash names
Here are the top ten “white trash” names for females. They are not ranked, so 1 is just nominal in value. I am not saying that because you have one of these names that you are trailer trash; I am saying that if you are trailer trash you have one of these names. If still confused, add to confusion by looking up the difference between “sufficient” and “necessary” causes.
(1) Brandi
(2) Candi
(3) Angel
(4) Crystal
(5) Bobbi
(6) Shelby
(7) Darline
(8) Staci
(9) Bambi
(10) Misty
Bonus: If anyone would like to try, please give me the proper pronunciation of the following two names (which by the way are real; I saw them on TV the other day):
(1) Jrue 
(2) Jemine
