It’s a time of transition here at 50WoL. I’m beginning to enter a new and vastly different Struggle. As an unfortunate consequence, I haven’t really had quality time to post. But that’ll change in June and I’ll be back with avengeance.

Today, I went an important quest. Inspired by a random article on the 80’s, I tracked down an old music video that I had not seen in many years. I believe it’s one of my earliest memories. Though I haven’t seen it in 20 years, the deja vu was undeniable.

CNN is selling t-shirts with their asinine headlines on the front. I can’t even write about this. I wish today was April 1st so this bastardization of the news made sense.

Today hasn’t been my day at the office. I’m more than a little tired and distracted by the double-edged sword of great material online.

Battle at Kruger goes mainstream.

An Inconvenient Emotion.

Cathedral Lights, like Zoo Lights, only at church.

600 dollar checks aren’t the best method of economic stimulus?

Strong links today.

Fuji Mountain Oysters.

Apparently every mother on the planet writes dopey emails.

Venomous Spikes… check. Electrosensory receptors… check. Milk patches… yeah. Without further adieu, the platypus.

New (soon to be) illegal drugs ensure prescription drug abuse continues unabated. Big Pharma Wins!

“The Russert to Judgement.” Great title.

My friend has a theory that people dislike cell phones in public areas because they’re nosy and annoyed by their inability to hear the other person. I disagree. I’m annoyed by the increased volume. Usually visual cues let the speaker know the listener can hear. The phone doesn’t provide those.

Haven’t really had a lot of good posts lately. Here are some people that have been more successful at writing lately.

Happy 60th birthday Israel (nearly)… In 5 years, we cut off your military aid and you start collecting social security.

GTA IV: The Abyss Stares Back.

Griffey… it’s just so sad.

But it could be much worse…

“It seems rather elitist to me for people who have degrees in this field and because they’ve studied it, somehow know better than the parents.” Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Christianity: Now with vapid pop culture.

How to sort recyclables.

Isn’t this politics as usual? I don’t understand the continual surprise over negative campaigning. Its track record is unparalleled. DC, after all, is a town better known for its madam than its political messiahs.

But my real question is, do we even deserve a better kind of politics?

While riding the bus to work, I sat across from a mother and her 4 year old daughter. Normally, this isn’t particularly noteworthy, but the little girl hilariously shouted “Back Doors! Back Doors!” when exiting the bus. If you’ve ever ridden DC buses, you’ll understand why this is funny.
