Happy New Year
What a relief to get two thousand nine in the rear view mirror, arguably the most vile and obscene consecutive twelve months in our lifetime. It was grueling and I am spent. During brief moments of clarity I realize that we haven’t evolved much in the last two thousand years, at least insofar as I [...]
Hopefully Change is coming next year
I’ve been posting a few of these this week to highlight the ongoing them that is Obama’s need to take on the lobbyists and change Washington. This is what he said he was going to do. Or at least the person narrating the commercial did…
“The ways of Washington must change”
“They think they own this government [...]

The Power of Marketing
I read this Andrew Sullivan post today and it got me thinking about how the anti abortion folks are winning the mind game of it all. Actually it sent me over the deep end. Hence this hour long attempt to spew my thoughts on the anti-abortion gimmick that exists in America.
I feel it really is [...]
I know its wrong, but it feels so right…
Should I feel bad because when I heard Rush Limbaugh is in the hospital I did a little happy dance? Is it inexcusably ghoulish to hope that hate mongering scumbag is writhing in pain right now?

I know it’s tempting for folks to wish this man ill right [...]
Facing Regression
No more questions. No more pity. Stop replaying everything; the past is static. Episodes don’t change in rerun. From here write the present, and future, however long that might be. Just 35, remember. Act your age. Nothing ever lives up to the first time. Deal with that fact or do something new.
I finally finished “moving [...]
“Limit the power of Lobbyists to block our progress”: FAIL
“I’ve taken on the drug and insurance companies. And won”
Just posting these as friendly reminders of candidate Obama
Serious QotD
Does anyone know if the state is planning on hooking the libraries up with Ebooks? I got my daughter a Sony E-Reader for Xmas. I understand they aren’t part of it. But will they? Is there talk of it? Links or directions to literature would be great.
Donviti posts of 2009: Anatomy of an Interview
2009 was great year in some respects for me. But in one respect it was awful. I was out of work for 6 months almost and when I wrote this post I was interviewing in March. I still had almost 2 more months to go at this point. Wow, what a ride it was:
Anatomy of [...]
Thought for the Day
How Tyler saw it was that getting God’s attention for being bad was better than getting no attention at all. Maybe because God’s hate is better than His indifference. If you could be either God’s worst enemy or nothing, which would you choose? We are God’s middle children, according to Tyler Durden, with no special [...]
