[Train Wreck Politics] Defeating McCain/Palin for Dummies: What Obama needs to do: as though anyone who ever managed the night shift at a Starbucks is more qualifed than Barack Obama (and ironically John McCain) to be president.

[Random Thoughts of a Demented Mind] The US Presidential Elections-the Story So Far: Of course Obama was not the first African-American candidate for the Democratic party nomination—Jesse Jackson and Reverend Al Sharpton had already tried their luck in previous election cycles.

[Year of the Dog's Weblog] Korea is: When I went to the big bookstores they had aisle after aisle of books in English. Not only that, but Koreans were actually buying the books and reading them. Not books on studying English, just normal books written in English. I saw tons of college students with textbooks on various subjects written in English. The downside is that the people I needed to know English didn’t know English. Not a single taxi driver or hotel clerk spoke even semi conversational English.

[The Frog On A Log Eggnog Blog] Mic Check. 1, 2, 3.: And blogging seems to be good for our sense of communal morale, as it undoubtedly brings complete strangers together to laugh and hurl expletives at one another through the anonymity of the internet. Whether its a 45 year old pederast writing suggestive messages to a poorly parented 13 year old or a bunch of gleefully ignorant Republicans jumping on a messageboard to slam Senator O’Bama for not wearing a lapel pin, the internet brings people all over the world together, provided they have enough money for a computer and a solid high-speed connection.
