The Great Curve: July 2006
http://thegreatcurve.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html

Having said that, I have already selected the topic for my first real post, which I'm working on now: in honor of Freedom's Birthday (though I know I'm a few days late on it), I'm compiling a list of things Americans are naturally better at than everybody else. Take that however you will. Should be up soon.
