Can everyone try a little bit harder to answer their phones? I just called 6 phones - my parents and all siblings - and not a single person picked up. In an emergency I know who not to call now.

McCain Chooses Palin as Running Mate →
“She’s not from these parts, and she’s not from Washington, but when you get to know her, you’re going to be as impressed as I am,” Mr. McCain said as he introduced Ms. Palin to a crowd estimated by his campaign to be 15,000 at the Ervin J. Nutter Center here.

This is the type of society I’d like to live in, except I would want the government to do the three things I listed earlier.
Joe Biden's pro-RIAA, pro-FBI tech voting record →
jstn:
All of which meant that nobody in Washington was surprised when Biden was one of only four U.S. senators invited to a champagne reception in celebration of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act hosted by the MPAA’s Jack Valenti, the RIAA, and the Business Software Alliance.
The only thing this election season has done is deepened my belief in a society where government has three roles:
- protect people from the outside (army)
- protect people from each other inside (police)
- protect the rights of all citizens (judges)
A flat tax of 3-5%, even up to 10% is all I’m asking for.

An excerpt from one of those liberal magazines interviewing McCain:
You were a very enthusiastic supporter of the invasion of Iraq and, in the early stages, of the Bush Administration’s handling of the war. Are those judgments you’d like to revisit?
Well, my record is clear. I believe that the world is better off without Saddam Hussein. I believe it’s clear that he had every...

So after meeting Sean Parker last Friday, I felt really obliged to write a post about how lucky I am.

– ME. In an IM conversation regarding my trip to africa
Oh!! I forgot to write about seeing Tropic Thunder on Saturday night with Matt and Uncle Rick. The movie was pretty great, I don’t know if I’d see it again. It’s definitely one of those movies that you have to see so when someone quotes it you know what they’re talking about. My favorite party is when Jack Black is tied to the tree trying to get the crew to untie him,...
Obamanomics by Mark Pincus →
I’m loving Mark Pincus’ write ups about Obama and McCain. He is actually trying to figure out who the better candidate really is, not just picking his political party and running with it.

SF Outside Lands was a disaster →

I hate eBay, I never win auctions anymore.

facebook wall to wall re: spencer
Jennifer: hah. if epic means revolting and terrible.. then yeah, he won well over 200 points. i was real disappointed too though, it was pretty lame... hopefully the producers wrote better scripts for next week's episode! :)
Sam: um. what do you mean producers. IT'S A REALITY SHOW. producers... psh.
Sam: wait, how you can say spencer is revolting and terrible? that guy is a role model to every young man in america, finally a man that knows how to treat women.
Jennifer: i know i know. spencer and heidi always say it's scripted though, because they're ashamed about being so ridiculous all of the time
Jennifer: HAHA spencer and his creepy fleshcolored beard? yeah he is great. sometimes i actually kind of wish i was heidi
the hills season premiere
i’ve been a fan of the hills since it began a few years ago, and tonight marked the beginning of season 4. i’ve watched lc since laguna beach came out in 2004 on mtv.
it was only in the last few months that i became a big fan of the hills though - the show went from good to great with the addition of spencer pratt. i dream of one day becoming half the man that he is.
he gained...
Heidi: Just... try to be nice
Spencer: That's my middle name
