OPRAH IN '08!

...no, I'm not serious.
But a lot of politicians could learn a lesson from her handling of the "A Million Little Pieces" 'What can you do in a memoir?' scandal. And she would make a good politician...
Jeff Jarvis articulately disagrees...

Very insightful Wall Street Journal piece on what the election of Hamas as the ruling party means for U.S. foreign policy. Though my analogy may not entirely work, I hope to see that, like in Ireland in 1921, it will be those who truly know the cost of war who make peace.
Slate's article on how Bush dodges questions. Nice.
Ipod's may make you more vulnerable to crime? hmm.
The Washington City Paper highlights what I think is my ex's meeting. Coolness. And the thing about the oats jokes is so true.

I got a last.fm account, and admitted I'm obsessing. Check it out.

pretty colors

I'm back to having pretty colors on the blog. I brought the monitor from the basement up to my computer, and what a difference! sry. I'm just easily excited by my ability to see different colors and not have all the greens look the same and not be able to see anything that isn't black on a white background or vice versa. very excited.
