This blog is such a lonesome place.
Here's some fresh air
New (to me):
Site: Feministing I especially enjoy the Target: Women videos.
Music: Rasputina Oh Perilous World
It makes me smile when I listen to it.
Author: Jared Diamond
Collapse
Guns, Germs and Steel (so many things are illuminated by these theories)
I suppose it's Collapse that has a chapter on the corporate behavior of mining, coal & oil companies. He's pretty far off the mark in regards to the coal companies.
Politics:
I would talk about Joe Manchin's speech at the Democratic convention but I missed it. I'm happy about Biden as the VP pick, although as a Delaware native, I might be a little partial. HRC neatly flipped off the Dem. Clinton-haters by being so awesome (I know, I know, she's still secretly an evil, power-ravenous bitch) on her two nights. I'm also glad I missed Jay Rockefeller's speech. I just don't like that man.
Oh and here's a local guy I'm supporting: Kim Wolfe for Mayor This town is so ready for some new people and new ideas.Labels: books, music, politics
