First Debate

Well, I'm obviously not a neutral observer here, but I think that went reasonably well for Kerry. Though I was surprised he didn't hammer away at what is unquestionably Bush's most glaring failure: trading Sammy Sosa.

Santonas

I'm sure you've all been avidly watching the Rundle C standings, so you're probably aware that this chick Santonas just WILL NOT LOSE! Why won't she just lay down and let me pass?! I'm out by 1 friggin' point.

Conan the Destroyer

To whom it may concern, a bit of glorious news has just trickled down from NBC: as of this morning, Conan O'Brien has officially been appointed Jay Leno's successor for the Tonight Show, effective when Leno's contract runs out in 2009. So we'll have a bit of waiting to do since Leno took an extension only last year, but all the same, he's the right man for the job.

I hear banana pancakes calling my name.

Blow Your Mind

Would any of you be willing to look at one or some of my quizzes? I need opinions about their difficulty from people who are not my students or mathematicians and not my girlfriend (after that i don't know any people in berkeley, except lou the homeless guy who with tattoos on his face, who knows the pythagorean theorem). I can send you a pdf. Thanks.

Hey Greg, why don't you send Meri an invite for SAEO?

It seems that Will has unleashed an unstoppable killing machine.

Ha.

Irony

I forgot to mention yesterday one of the odder things of I've ever woken up to: Vice President Cheney, after a stop for morning coffee, will be campaigning today in an Ohio sausage factory...

Back

Hi everyone. Just letting you know, that I'm back in the blogging business.

Re-name

This template seems to attach the poster's name -- I thought they all did that.

Your wish is my command.

Names

Hey everybody,
If we had to start an underground revolutionary organization, we could communicate in the open using SAEO and any number of encryption schemes! It could be fun except for the constant threat of death or capture/torture.

Also, I liked it better when the author's name came up on the screen with the message he wrote. What's up with blogger?

Wow

From the New York Times headlines:

Vice President Dick Cheney said that the country would be at risk of a terror attack if it made "the wrong choice" in November.


Somebody please do something about this. This is, as far as I can recall, the most outrageous thing this turd has said.

Incidentally, I know that MoveOn is doing more swing state volunteer calls on Thur. with their adopt-a-swing-state program. You guys should do it. Go sign up at moveonpac.org .
