- George Lakoff talks smart about why conservatives kick the ass of progressives in the national debate. [Via Scripting News] In a nutshell, it's because conservatives control how the issues are framed, because they're the only ones bothering to do it. Dear progressives: get the sticks out of your asses and get in the game, because we're losing. For example, until I read that article, I didn't understand there was an intentional difference between using the term "liberal" and "progressive. |

Whew (Jun 01 2004 00:49 GMT) - It has been one LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG weekend here at Rancho Boracho. I barely finished a case of beer since Thursday, simply because getting up at 6 in the aye-emm and running around doing chores till 8 or 9 every night makes one less tempted to tipple. I still did get through a case, but mainly because it's Keystone Light, a most excellent day beer. We've had good weather, hot weather, with only a smattering of rain on Friday morning. Now it looks like we've got a big thunderboomer moving in, and that's cool as can be. |

- Didn't catch the name of this particular temple in downtown Hsinchu. The incense has an interesting effect on all the objects the smoke touches, changing the colour over time. It's one of the things I like about this particular temple, the contrasts between the bright reds and the browns. I like downtown areas like Hsinchu's. It's a shame that so many have failed for the cold fake allure of the shopping mall. |
