a cold day in phoenix.: The Unknowable Facts, Part I
http://notsomeoneelse.blogspot.com/2009/03/unknowable-facts-part-i.html
A cold day in phoenix. The Unknowable Facts, Part I. Why "informed voter" is an oxymoron. The economic situation is worse. Now we have something that we can't explain, that's happening for reasons we can't explain, with solutions we're not sure about. I've had the same argument with my friend Keith that economists have had on Slate, and I'm sure these same discussions (with bigger words) have on in university faculties across the nation and beyond.

A cold day in phoenix. Currently listening to the dull roar of suburbia in Livermore, California. The Judgment of California. In further news, I've been asked not if I'd like to put a hedge around the burning in my soul, but whether I'd like to move it closer to the wall. Posted by Ben at 10:37 AM. Links to this post. Currently listening to "You're Having the Time of My Life" by Jets to Brazil. Posted by Ben at 12:38 PM. Links to this post. One time I started breathing again. Like suddenly waking up.

A cold day in phoenix. The Only Road It Ever Takes. This is the place you end up when you lose the chase,. When you're dragged against your will from a basement on a hill. And all anybody knows is you're not like them,. And they kick you in the head, and send you back to bed. Isolation pulled you past this tunnel to a bright. World where you could make a place to stay,. But everybody's scared of this place and stayin away,. Your little house on Memory Lane. The Doctor spoke a cloud- he rained out loud,.

a cold day in phoenix.: The Worst Bar Graph in the World
http://notsomeoneelse.blogspot.com/2009/04/worst-bar-graph-in-world.html
A cold day in phoenix. The Worst Bar Graph in the World. Please take a minute out of whatever you're doing to make fun of this bar graph. Graph from Slate and HHS]. This bar graph was posted by Timothy Noah of slate. On Friday morning- it is horribly, fundamentally flawed, as any student of basic statistics can tell you. Yet Mr. Noah is so convinced of the power of the graph that he bases an entire two long, impassioned pages of text on it. He urges you to stop what you're doing and look at it. Seems to ...

a cold day in phoenix.: Of Chuck and Psych
http://notsomeoneelse.blogspot.com/2009/03/of-chuck-and-psych.html
A cold day in phoenix. Of Chuck and Psych. This may be the last season of television. USA's follow up, Psych. Was much along the same lines. Shooting for a younger demographic, it blends the interracial buddy-tale aspect of Scrubs. The crime-plus-jokes of Monk. And a very basic romantic tension its predecessor lacked. Shawn Spencer's antics are also pop-culture reference-laden, like many other shows that have hit it big (Arrested Development again). Sharks, by their nature, wish to be jumped, but modern ...

A cold day in phoenix. Currently listening to "Chinatown" by Jets to Brazil (wow, it's come full-circle; I think I was listening to Jets last time I posted). This is the most tremendous game of catch-up ever- here we go. The biggest news I have is that my friend Brad passed away recently. It was really sad, but I'm glad we know what we do, and I'm glad the kid was constantly prepared to meet his maker. He led a very good life here and I'm certain of his reward.

A cold day in phoenix. By The City on Film. Still diggin this new CD. OK, so maybe chicken. Belong in an omelette." -Jim. Good Night, Heaven. This is going to be alternately rantagious and weird. Hopefully also humorous, but I make no guarantees (though I will use the word "weasel"). First, I saw The Interpreter yesterday. I have no compunctions with the plot. Here are my compunctions: Joel is 13. He's been 13 for about four months now. He's a good kid, and the MPAA. 60cough Joe Camel.</cough. 3) When...

A cold day in phoenix. Pleased to Beat You. Why Did Ever We Meet. By The Promise Ring. Nice to beat you." -Jenny, in what I suppose was a Freudian slip. And I will always be this way. So, the last time I tried to post this, my post got jacked. Or hosed. It went down to the ABC (not that there's an ABC in Provo), picked up some Johnny Walker and got sloshed. Some posts drink to forget, but nobody drinks to remember. To which I of course responded, ". Somewhere between the 8th and 9th circles of. Hell is d...
