Blog Slogging

February 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment

It’s so much easier to Twitter than to blog. Perhaps it’s the challenge of  Twitter’s 140-character limit that’s so attractive. I’ve even installed an app in Facebook so that my Twitter updates are posted on Facebook simultaneously. Not that any of this matters, given the state of the world.

A couple of links:

Poverty of Imagination by James Howard Kunstler, in which he does what he does every week: enumerates the ways in which we and our way of life must change. I wonder if Obama ever reads JHK?

Counting Chickens: May Contest is the NDP’s to Win by Rafe Mair.  Carole James has never engendered my wild enthusiasm, but she doesn’t scare me either. She’s been criticized for not having any ideas, but maybe she has to. After all, anything that has the merest resemblance to a new idea will cause Gordo to salivate as he calls it his own. And then, in the fullness of time, forgets all about it.

Those bridge-wrecking petrol-slaves that are running things in Victoria make me feel like vomiting in my mouth a little. (I always wanted to use that expression, and finally did.)

Oh well. Maybe the Canucks will win tonight, but they’re already down 2-nothing.
