The Tuesday Eudemon

My first issue of Rolling Stone [http://www.rollingstone.com/] arrived yesterday. Yup, I'm now a subscriber to the gray haired hippie rag. I received a subscription when I signed up as a member of the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame [http://rockhall.com/home/default.asp] during my

The Thursday Eudemon: Melvins, Juans, and Brucies

Possibly the best opening line of all news stories this week: A high school principal received a six-day suspension and a letter of reprimand for giving one of his students a wedgie [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,225123,00.html]. The rest of the story isn't

The Tuesday Eudemon

Surveying the Internet landscape, there's a mish-mash of semi-interesting stuff, but nothing worthy of an entire post, not even one of my 10-word ones. News for the stomach strong: Harry Potter will perform nude next summer [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,224037,00.html]. The story

SUV Me

I have no idea whether this guy is credible, but it's interesting: > If you think the world is on the verge of running out of oil or other mineral resources, you've been taken in by the foremost of seven myths about resource geology, according to

People Haters

I've previously made the point that the environmental movement is tainted with misanthropes: folks who would prefer that folks not exist.

Conservatives for the Evironment.

A friend sends this along: Why Conservation is Conservative. Quotes by famous conservatives [http://www.rep.org/ConservativeQuotes.html]. Pretty neat.

Big Families Are In

According to this AP story [http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061008/ap_on_re_us/large_families], more families are opting for four or more children. I'm not surprised. I think the tide has turned for large families. I've been told by people in their

Parallel Societies

I'd seen this quote from the European Human Rights Court before, but it really struck me when I read it yesterday (here [http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52311]): > The (German) Federal Constitutional Court stressed the general interest of society to avoid the emergence

More Foley

Good thoughts from a message board: > Right after this breaks, Foley says he was molested by a clergyman and has a drinking problem. What's he trying to say? He's dysfunctional somehow? He's functional enough to get elected, which takes a high amount of

Foley

Well, I read the Foley email/instamessage exchange with the underage page. I've taken four showers since and still don't feel clean, but I knew the risk going in. What's there to say that hasn't been said? Nothing, except maybe this: The
