Surge and Accelerate

Bush is asking for another 20,000 troops to be deployed to Iraq.  I don't know that there are words for this level of stupidity.  After the November mid-term elections, I thought maybe the man would finally understand how things are, but I guess not.  Two more years.

Finished reading Freedom City yesterday.  Wow, wow, wow.  This thing is one of the best gaming products I've read in a long time.

Erin starts her short-term class today.  I hope it's a good one for her - Philosophy of the Simpsons.

Crazy ol' Pat Robertson says that God told him that a "mass killing" will occur on U.S. soil this year, not necessarily nuclear, but in multiple cities with millions affected.  Much as I'd hate to see anything bad happen to such a pretty place, but I expect that if Yahweh did indeed reveal the future to Robertson, the crosshairs are very likely centered on Virginia Beach.

Philosophy of the Simpsons

Aw man, the best I could do back at Uni was Media Studies where we got to watch clips from the Simpsons in every tutorial :p

My last semester at UK was the best assortment of classes ever.

Western Films
Special Topics in Literature: The Detective Story
History of Nuclear Weapons
Advanced Imaginative Writing
... And I forget the other weird-ass literature class, but it was terrific, too.

Sheesh, it's nice for some. The best we get here is an English paper that covers Lord of the Rings - and that only came out 4 years AFTER I left Uni. Bah!
