hello again

Things are busy right now.  Combine that with the fact I’m becoming less of a fan of my own blog – the format is dull and its title is just stupid (maybe a third try at a blog is in order) — and you get a lack of posts.

Nonetheless, here are a few things I’ve come across over the past couple of days that I think are worth taking a look at . . .

With each passing day, Obama seems to be more like a typical DC politician, and less like an agent of change, or hope, or whatever.  I was never going to vote for the guy, but I enjoyed his “outsider” attitude.  Now I’m growing tired of him.  The way he has handled his own statement on John McCain and 100 years in Iraq is simply baffling — check this out at Instapundit.

Meanwhile, Tom Bell at Agoraphilia offers a unique perspective on how Obama can actually make change happen.

Apparently, some at the Daily Kos were happy that a champion of individual rights has died.  Hat-tip: Althouse.

I think we need to stop preaching to children that college is anything and everything, a can’t miss experience, the end-all/be-all — you get my point.  Sounds like one man is attempting to get that message to the masses.

I prefer Panera coffee over Starbucks.  But what I really detest about Starbucks is how they go along with the notion that capitalism needs to be more “just,” and that profits are inherently bad and only benefit a select few.  Jonathan Adler’s discussion of Starbucks’ gift-card policy got a lot of comments, and now a known boycott specialist is trying to lead one against the socialists in Seattle.
