I started this blog for the purpose of being something of a journal so that I could look back and see what was going on in my life. Unfortunately, between being a private person and not having much of a life, I see most of my posting being about things outside of my control. That is, politics and world events.
Ah well, it beats being a narcissist, I suppose.
In case anyone else is reading, a few things that caught my interest while being quite ill the past two weeks:
Victor Davis Hanson has a wonderful piece on the decline of polite behavior that is well worth reading through.
If you want good insights into the problems of the Middle East, few countries embody all the difficulties faced more than Lebanon. That's where Michael Totten's work has been invaluable and his account of meeting Walid Jumblatt, the Druze leader is absolutely fascinating. Read the whole thing.
Drew Emmer at Wright County Republican has posted Gov. Mitch Daniels' (R-Indiana) op-ed on the coming reduction of tax revenues governors across the United States will be facing. It is time for government to tighten their belts just like everyone else. There are a lot of people struggling financially right now, including me.
Facebook is not a secure or safe place to be, unfortunately not a lot of people know how to make it safer. Several weeks ago, a young friend of mine had his laptop infected by a hostile ad on Facebook that took quite a bit of doing to kill. Watch out for anything claiming to be an antivirus that spawns popups like crazy!
Reviews of movies, anime, and the occasional TV show mixed with warnings on Blogger spam. Also to be found are musings on whatever I am thinking about - all from the point of view of being left to watch everything from the sidelines of life.
