End of Silence

The Boston Globe ran a profile of John Kerry last summer. I haven’t yet read the whole thing, but it mentions his only arrest of his life during a protest on Memorial Day in 1971. They also link to an old Doonesbury which takes a jab at Kerry for his relentless self-promotion. By contrast, G.W. [...]

Funny/scary stuff from BOR.
While I’m at it, this is an interesting article on Al Qaeda (via Weblogsky).
Finally, I saw Chris Matthews on the Tonight Show last night and Bob Kerrey on the Daily Show. I thought Chris Matthews had some good points and Bob Kerrey was good as well. Matthews has John Kerry on tonight [...]

After a couple months hiatus, it’s time for another installment of Baby Chaos, which I guess should really be called toddler chaos at this point.
The Boy had his last soccer game of the season on Saturday. He seems to have enjoyed it enough to play with the same team again in the fall. Even though [...]

I can’t remember if I mentioned it, but I’m single dad this week. The Wife’s on vacation to San Diego. As a consequence, I’ve been downtown around 3:30 the last few days collecting the kids from school/daycare and I’ve seen some interesting things.
Yesterday, as I drove down San Jacinto, I saw local filmmaker Rick Linklater [...]

I watched a fair amount of it last night before heading upstairs in disgust to help The Wife with bath/bedtime.
I linked them earlier this week, but Pandagon is my new favorite blog. They’ve got a couple of posts on the press conference including a running commentary between the two of them. There’s a also an [...]

I forwarded The Wife a TARAL e-mail that I got earlier today. See the ensuing thread below:

On a family note, we spent the weekend with the in-laws. The Boy had a soccer game on Saturday morning. He got into an altercation with one of the other players and had to be chastised by both the coaches and us. In all fairness, that kid was pushing. If they actually had refs, he [...]

According to an article from the Washington Post , Bush has spent roughly 500 days or 40 percent of his presidency at either Kennebunkport, Camp David or Crawford. Now granted, he does do some work while on these trips, but he spent this weekend going fishing with Roland Martin. I’m sure these people would [...]

Ok. I saw this yesterday and was going to leave it alone, but this commentary is classic.

I hadn’t posted in a while and ran across a little question game at Whitney’s while doing my morning reading:
Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says: “All C# statements must end with a semicolon.” (Programming ASP .NET, can you guess I’m at [...]
