Light Blogging Weekend

This entry was posted in Blogging on by

I’ve been immersed in a couple of projects all weekend. One I just finished and the other (transforming part of our front yard into river rock beds) will take quite a bit more work.
All this work resulted in little blogging: either reading or writing. I don’t think this is a bad thing but hits do go down if you don’t post and knowledge does not grow or pass on when you aren’t partaking in the conversation.
So, if you won a retirement level lottery how much of your new free time would you devote to blogging?
My answer will show up in a comment sometime this week.

California Polls

The results of today’s Field Poll show Bustamante ahead of Schwarzenegger 25% to 22% and are a lot more interesting when we look at yesterday’s poll. It shows that an increasing number of likely voters will vote to recall: July 51%, August 58%. If DAvis has any hope of staying in office he has to figure out how to get Democrats out to vote and also hope that they aren’t among the 22% who voted for him that say they will vote to recall.
Unless a lot of folks drop out there is a high liklihood that the next govn’r of California will be elected by 25-30% of the voters.
The San Francisco Chronicle has some analysis of the poll results and somecandidate comments here.

The compleat fair and balanced is over at Blah3.
Tom at TBOGG shares with us Lowell Ponte’s stupid and , well, stupid report on fair and balanced.
Gerber and Schwarz want to get sued like Al Franken.
The Rittenhouse Review is repetitively fair and balanced.
Jack Balkin quotes bush apparently talking about the fox news fair and balanced lawsuit:

“The unpredictability of our liability system means that even frivolous cases, even what we call junk lawsuits, carry the risk of enormous verdicts.” Bush told a crowd in Greensboro, N.C.

and discuss the suit at length in posts preceding and following the above link.
And I wish you a fair and balanced Good Night!

Chewing your Religion

This entry was posted in Religion on by

Last week we had the play with dubya toy and this week we have something for the wee ones to chew on:

Think of the impact this could make on a young families life. If this one product will make them think about their relationship with Jesus, then we have done our job.

Other than communion isn’t chewing on Jesus sacreligious or something?
NB: perhaps fair and balanced o’reilly should use one of these when he gets stressed out and is tempted to be unfair and biased.
