Seriously? Seriously?

I'm listening to the smart folks on my flist who explain why letting shit collapse might be a bad thing (yeah, I haven't finished stocking up on dry and canned goods yet, but I've started), but the ongoing disconnect here, coupled with what marchenland wisely observed yesterday (to wit, paraphrased: "I don't feel like we're getting the whole story here; nothing moves this fast, with so much pressure out of nowhere, without the public being left very seriously in the fucking dark about something behind the scenes that's probably really fucking important.")....

Yeah, I'm one of those angry constituents who don't want a bailout passed yet, and I think I've got a good case for my reservations.

Or, as I said elsewhere via IM: ELECT ME GOD AND GET OUT OF THE DAMNED WAY, PEOPLE.

My (boring?) discussion of graphics effects. Hell, you might learn something, other than that I'm a loudmouth with an imperfect understanding of economics and/or politics. Or something.

Justify the extravagant paycheck my second job provides with page views.

Who wants me to talk/bitch/rant/opine about something other than fitness[1] and finances?

Suggestions welcome.
