The Smallest Minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. – Ayn Rand
On Blogging
SayUncle has a post on blogging, “it’s the size of the blog that matters,” wherein he gives us his 9-point “life of a blog” chronology.
The folks at Despair.com have a much shorter take on the topic:
UPDATE: Edited at a commenter’s suggestion. It does read better this way.
UPDATE II: Fodder comments, and has a link to a Lewis Black video that is quite funny. Apparently blogging is the root of all evil!

I think I can say, and say with pride, that we have legislatures that bring a higher price than any in the world. – Mark Twain
But it’s the American Taxpayer who foots the bill, eventually.
Quote of the Day
From yesterday’s Rush Limbaugh Show:
RUSH: Gainesville, Florida. Jeff, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER: Good afternoon, Rush. I hope this call finds you well.
RUSH: Thank you, sir, very well.
CALLER: Listen, this is an aside to why I called, but I just wanted you to know that I got an $8,000 loan yesterday to replace the air-conditioning in my home.
RUSH: How much of a down payment did it require?
CALLER: Zero down payment, 6.9% interest.
RUSH: How many years?
CALLER: It will be about four years.
RUSH: Four years to pay for your new air conditioner?
CALLER: Yes, sir.
RUSH: Zero down payment. Are you a minority?
CALLER: Not yet.
THIS is Bloody Brilliant!
Excerpt, to tease you into reading the whole thing:
Many of the party faithful have long had the feeling that the maverick Tigh was not really “one of us,” in the words of fighter pilot Lt. Kara Thrace, who once faced disciplinary action for punching then-Col. Tigh in the face. “No matter what his service record has been or what he endured back on New Caprica,” she said, “he never really seemed like he was one of us. There was always something that made him different.”
These feelings were accentuated when Col. Tigh recently confirmed rumors that he is, in fact a Cylon, though he swears that his allegiance is to mankind.
“After they revealed that, I was thinking about sitting out this election,” Lt. Thrace said. “But then he named Roslin as his running mate, and that won me back over. Personally, I’d rather have Roslin at the top of the ticket than a Cylon who says he’s on our side, but anything’s better than who the other party is putting up.”
Really, RTWT. It’s hilarious. And almost spooky.

Do you know what happened this week back in 1850, 158 years ago?
California became a state!
The State had no electricity.
The State had no money.
Almost everyone spoke Spanish.
There were gunfights in the streets.
So basically, it was just like it is today, except the women had real breasts and the men didn’t hold hands.

Quote of the Day
Pardon me if I think your threats are slightly less credible than Bigfoot stories. You don’t have the stones to shoot a BB gun at the Trilateral Commission and their space lizard overlords and then you want me to quail in fear at your vague ninja skills? – Tam, Troofers
It’s official. I’m a fanboy.
