This story greatly confuses me. I don’t know whether to go “Awww!” or get angry over the ridiculous pomp and circumstance.
For some reason, a Welsh battallion has a goat soldier…member…not mascot…I’m not sure. But its a goat, and his name is Billy. Billy is now a retired veteran of the Welsh battallion at eight years [...]

I listened to the prank call made to Sarah Palin, and I gotta say wow. These two French Canadian comedians from a radio show called her office, pretending to be Nicolas Sarkozy the prime minister of France. The conversation itself was just weird. I feel really really bad for her staff. It reflects even more [...]

Like the liberal commie pinko latte drinking leftie I am (not), I went to go see the movie W. last night. It was okay. Not as horrible as I originally thought it would be. I think much of the credit for that should go to Josh Brolin, who played W. as a man and not [...]

I woke up this morning, and found the most seriously awesome thing that has just made my day.

McCain commends his strongest support base.

My faith in humanity and American democracy has been reaffirmed.

As I come closer and closer to graduation and the inevitable career lifestyle, I’ve just discovered the most brilliant strategy for landing myself a high power job.
When I go to interviews and I am asked about my foreign policy experience, I will say that everything on my resume is irrelevant in light of the [...]

Sci-Fi Geekery for this week:
Battlestar Galactica, squee!! That series just becomes more and more intriguing, and damn do they know how to keep me in suspense. And just how awesome is their last supper photo? (And no I do not count that as sacrilegious. Jesus and his disciples didn’t pose for that, it was just [...]

Bear with me folks, I’m in a college Shakespeare production this weekend, and am going mad with rehearsals in addition to class and well, being an adult and stuff.
Hopefully by next week, I’ll have the time and energy to write good substantive blog posts.
