Not since November 2008 have I felt so good about a political outcome. Despite all odds (and they were very, very heavy) congress actually did something and passed comprehensive health care reform. This is no small achievement, and if well implemented Obama will go down as truly one of the great presidents.
I have spent most of my “Internet Update Time” on twitter, but I wanted to let all know that I am not going to let the blog die. Stay tuned for Paul JD rants.
Democrats loose Massachusetts senate seat, as well as a supermajority. Americans loose protections from corporate influence over federal elections in the Supreme Court. The Dow Jones looses 5 percent, and of course NBC looses Conan (Coco) on the Tonight Show. What is a Paul the yuppie from Utah to do?
NBC has done an absolutely beautiful job of messing things up.
They should simply let Jay Leno go.
I’m with Coco
Support Conan O'Brien
This made me laugh.
That last post was very untimely. It is Wednesday after the game for crying out loud.
I am thinking about what to do with www.ximz.com. I think I need to either redirect .com to here, or do something else.
I think I have spent too much time at home today.
First you win the game, and then you crap all over your victory. Yes, Brigham Young University (commonly known as the BYU) has produced another awesome chapter in the annual holy war: soon to be ex quarterback Max Hall. His statement is as follows: “I don’t like Utah, in fact, I hate them. I hate everything about them. I hate their program, I hate their fans, I hate everything.”
Obviously such comments are going to release a firestorm of criticism and support in a rivalry as heated as BYU v Utah. Indeed the back and forth between the BYU / Utah fans has gone on all week. What I find most surprising about the statement is not the content itself, but who said it. Max is a leader of their team, and in very many respects, the public face of BYU’s football program. For someone in such a position to make such a blatant statement is unacceptable. Just imagine if everyone similarly placed made such statements. It is very childish, and it shows a complete lack of control over ones emotions.
Spanish Fork, home of pride and progress.
I am really tired, but I needed to mention this before it becomes irrelevant. I hate standard time, I hate it like a liberal hates Glenn Beck. I can’t stand getting off of work and it being dark — virtually regardless of what time I leave.
In a story covered by the New York Times my local school district has reversed course and will allow the innocent children in south Utah county to watch Obama’s speech. Never-mind the fact that students will be watching President Obama’s address over a week after it originally aired. No thanks to Superintendent Chris Sorensen for getting caught up in mass hysteria.
