View From the Bushes

Today I thought I would start off with a link rather than end with one. Today I would like to direct your attention to a column by Professor Mike Adams. As arguably the last conservative left anywhere on any college campus, his columns would be hilarious if they were not so tragic. This particular one is on the double standard employed when defining what a hate crime is. Good stuff (with the exception of the claim that Planned Parenthood has killed more people then Nazi Germany -- that seems spurious, particularly if you lay any of the 15 million Russian dead at their feet).

I donated platelets yesteday. I had a really hard time picking a movie. Firstly, because the movie I really want to watch, Enternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is forever out at the satellite center despite the numerous times I've asked them to bring it back, then one of the phlebotomists insisted on standing over me while I made my selection (I'm often surprised how easily I get performance anxiety). So I finally selected Spartan because one of my friends recommended it. I was a few minutes into it before I realized that he had already forced me to watch it. I guess it couldn't have been that memorable.

When it was all over, I ended up watching Terminator 3, which was better than I thought. Of course, like all time travel movies, it had its problems and paradoxes, but I liked it better than a lot of them. Terminator decided to use what might be called the historical inevitablity school of time travel, which is basically you can fool around with the time line a little bit, but some things are so huge that they happen no matter what. Not the best way of doing time travel, but not the worst either.
