response to William F. Schulz and Johanna Goodman's post Silver Lining
I agree.
Opinion of the situation in Iraq and, more specifically, public perception of such opinion have fallen into the trap of a false alternatives fallacy: you are either hawkish, inane with a facade of interest in national security (pro-war, still support invasion) or rational (anti-war, against invasion). I am not saying that I support this war or even our invasion; like many, I find our reason for being there to be oil rather than national security. This massive disdain for our presence over there is metamorphosing into a feeling that Saddam Hussein should never had his American-created power revoked, a notion I disagree with, I feel that he should have been removed from power just as many human rights advocates do, and I also agree with Dr. Schulz's argument that things would be very, very different in Iraq if we went into the country for the advancement of human rights. My opinion about Iraq can be summarized in this statement: the Peace Corps should be in Iraq, not the Marine Corps. However, I do believe that we should have had presence in Darfur from the onset of the genocide, an action that would have certainly ended it. I believe that we need to establish a military presence in Africa so we can be prepared for the possibility of another event of similar kin. We need to forward the cause of democracy on the international front, not practice subservience to obstinacy.

Pynchon, Literary Phenom
I wholly agree, Pynchon is absolutely phenomenal and an example of what literature should be...I think. However, I am yet to pick up Against the Day and a little scared to do so, the seventeen minutes it took me to read the description of the book in this piece exemplifies such.

Canadian's Latest Television Hit: Little Mosque on the Prarie
Last week saw the premiere of the much-talked about new CBC sitcom Little Mosque on the Prairie (which has received media attention throughout the world; naturally, like any Californian, I found out about it through an Australian radio program). In case you have not picked up on it yet, the show is basically a satirical look on the Canadian Muslim community.
Anyways, the show was a bit of a smash hit despite mixed reviews, drawing in 2.1 million viewers and setting a new record for the CBC, drawing the network's largest audience in a decade. It is worth noting that a show with an audience more than a million is considered to be a "runaway hit." The rerun of the premiere episode the following night drew 887,000.
I'm about halfway in, and half of the show I have seen was brilliant, with the other half being of varying quality.

Mmm...irrationality..
Phelim McAleer, that global warming denying documentary making hates poor people, or else he would release his film for free. I listened to him on an Australian radio show a month ago, he is a complete and absolutely buffoon. He is like Michael Moore, except he lacks of any sort of good reason for his irrationalism and lying.
I heard an owner of a candy company tell me once that "cannibalisms is frowned upon in most societies."

Help instead of isolate and/or ignore.

Fantastic New Website to Make Benefit of GOOD Community
It's fantastic, beautiful like a car convention entirely attended by people made out of sterling silver. It's dashing like that reindeer. And it's not gone like the 2000 Bruckheimerization (or bad-to-mediocre remake of a good film) of Gone In 60 Seconds is the from the public memories of the film careers of Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie, Robert Duvall, and Giovanni Ribisi (actually, maybe not him, his film career has seemingly went downhill since this one), this is here to stay.
