Catching Up
Things I emailed to myself so I wouldn't forget to blog them, but then did until now:
- Movie listing from Zap2t, around June 8th: "Porn 'n Chicken **+ (2002, Comedy) Ivy League students meet in secret to watch pornography and eat chicken."
[I'm not sure what else it could be about, honestly.] - Quote from Waco Tribune-Herald editorial, August 3rd: "Another general voice of reason, Republican State Sen. Jeff Wentworth, needs his temperature taken. In supporting a change in Senate rules taking away the two-thirds requirement that stopped redistricting. Wentworth said it's OK for redistricting, because that's a Party matter. No, Senator. It's a constitutional matter. And the Constitution doesn't mention political Parties."
[If the folks in WACO can figure this out...] - Interesting (and likely unintentional) juxtaposition of two headlines on News 8 Austin, August 7th and 8th: "City suggests conserving water." with "Country club wants water permit to keep golf course up to par."
[Another reason why golf only makes sense when played in Scotland.] - Subtitle on news article in the Austin-American Statesman (I think), August 20th: "Israel says it will retaliate, noting no progress will be made until violence stops."
[I know the Israelis didn't put it exactly like that.] - Closing remarks on the Odessa American editorial page, timeless: "This newspaper is dedicated to furnishing information to its readers so they can better promote and preserve their own freedom and encourage others to see its blessings. Only when man is free to control himself and all he produces can he develop to his utmost capabilities. We believe that freedom is a gift from God and not a political grant from anarchy. It is self-control. No more. No less. It must be consistent with the truths expressed in such moral guides as the Coveting Commandment, the Golden Rule and Declaration of Independence."
[Coveting Commandment? Like "Thou Shalt Not?" or like "Coveting Makes the Capitalist Economy Go Round?"]
