Random Blather: Where's Doug?
http://dougs-random-blather.blogspot.com/2008/06/wheres-doug.html
Random blatherings by a middle-aged techno-nerd on topics of the day, usually politics, but sometimes technology, media, and culture, if I'm so inclined. Sunday, June 22, 2008. I haven't posted for quite a while, as you two or three people who read this blog might have noticed. This is not because I have stopped posting, or even stopped having opinions (that'll be the day); rather it is because I am currently blogging at an experimental site that is a sub-site of Salon. June 24, 2008 at 12:26 AM. October...

Random Blather: March 2008
http://dougs-random-blather.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Random blatherings by a middle-aged techno-nerd on topics of the day, usually politics, but sometimes technology, media, and culture, if I'm so inclined. Sunday, March 30, 2008. Is it just me, or is this complete insanity? Over and over, I've said two things: that Hillary would make a fine President (although her campaign's recent [i.e., in the last month and a half or so] behavior is giving me serious cause to reconsider), and that she can't possibly. To wake that slumbering giant? This is not sexism; t...

Random Blather: July 2007
http://dougs-random-blather.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Random blatherings by a middle-aged techno-nerd on topics of the day, usually politics, but sometimes technology, media, and culture, if I'm so inclined. Tuesday, July 31, 2007. Alberto Gonzales and "The Key". The guy I would want to be giving me. Who works for the White House seems compelled to when talking about ol "Al:" "The key," he said, is whether Gonzales has "the confidence of the president, and he clearly does.". To which I cry " Bullshit. Is whether Gonzales has the confidence of the American p...

Random Blather: September 2007
http://dougs-random-blather.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Random blatherings by a middle-aged techno-nerd on topics of the day, usually politics, but sometimes technology, media, and culture, if I'm so inclined. Tuesday, September 18, 2007. Fascist State, the Overused Cliche. But consider some facts. These are actual facts, not hyperbole. The police came, Tasered him, and took him away. In its first term, the Roberts court considered the case of Morse v. Frederick. Where the Court upheld. The School District's right to suspend a student because he put up a bann...

Random Blather: The Day After
http://dougs-random-blather.blogspot.com/2008/03/day-after.html
Random blatherings by a middle-aged techno-nerd on topics of the day, usually politics, but sometimes technology, media, and culture, if I'm so inclined. Wednesday, March 5, 2008. Well, Clinton won two states and eked out a narrow vote win here in Texas. My position is- and always has been- that Hillary would make a perfectly fine President, but that there's no way. So it's a complete bafflement to me that people continue to vote for her. So I'm depressed. How about you? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Random Blather: Random Election Thoughts
http://dougs-random-blather.blogspot.com/2008/04/random-election-thoughts.html
Random blatherings by a middle-aged techno-nerd on topics of the day, usually politics, but sometimes technology, media, and culture, if I'm so inclined. Monday, April 7, 2008. Some random thoughts on the current campaign nuttiness. If John McCain's temper is so "well documented". Why are we hardly hearing about it during his current press-driven beatification tour? Is it just me, or are articles on "Why Clinton Should be Winning". Is anyone but me (and Glenn Greenwald, apparently. Do people in Pennsylva...

Random Blather: November 2007

Random blatherings by a middle-aged techno-nerd on topics of the day, usually politics, but sometimes technology, media, and culture, if I'm so inclined. Wednesday, November 28, 2007. Look, I'm all for going green, using less energy, and helping decrease my carbon footprint. I work at home. I hardly drive. I try to be judicious with the house temperature. I recycle. And I even use those new swirly fluorescent light bulbs that you see advertised everywhere. These days. There's just one problem:. Obama: Th...

Random Blather: August 2007
http://dougs-random-blather.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Random blatherings by a middle-aged techno-nerd on topics of the day, usually politics, but sometimes technology, media, and culture, if I'm so inclined. Thursday, August 30, 2007. I just read this report. On the horrific shootings at Virginia Tech earlier in the year, and what struck me about the article was how it was played: "Report faults Virginia Tech response." I couldn't help thinking of a couple of things simultaneously:. An episode of Star Trek. Kodos [the mass murder]? Now believe me, it's not ...
