talking about the unspeakable
I seem to have lapsed into an all-input, no-output mode — odd for a
weblogger, I know. My thoughts are all over the place, and I’m sure
this entry is going to be more than a bit disjointed. Apologies to all
the people I should have linked below, but didn’t. Apparently I’ll be
going to work tomorrow; that should be fun (not). Bush’s speech left a
bit to be desired, I thought. We were watching on MSNBC, and they had
their camera displaying for a few minutes before Bush was cued to
start talking. He was just sitting there, not moving, totally blank
affect, and then he got the high sign, turned on, and started
talking. You could almost hear the ‘click’ of the switch on his back
being flipped to the ON position.
Talked to my Mom, who spent most of the day locked in her office
building (she works for the state of Kansas). On her way home from
Topeka, she saw long lines as gas stations — with $4/gal prices. What
do you suppose the odds are of profiteering in the petroleum industry
being pushing appropriately?
This is far from over, kids. Hopefully in a few days I’ll be able to
come up with a more reasoned and rational take on all of this. Mad
props to Steve, Dave, and Cam for the wonderful
coverage. Your work is very appreciated, gentlemen.
I leave you with these words from Hal:
Pray according to your fashion, give aid, and remain calm
