It's a real burden being right so often.

Food - what is for lunch today?

Brunch frittata! Chop up a small potato and some onion. Brown in bacon fat for about 10 minutes in a small skillet. Mix eggs, cheese, spices and breakfast meat (in this case, chopped bacon) in a bowl. Mix potatoes with onion mixture, then pop in the onion for 10 minutes at 350. Mmmmm.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have leftover couscous with turkey bacon. Nummy.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sophia, here's an article from Dissent critical of Zinn: [link]

And bookwise, Bob says Paul Johnson's A History of the American People is a direct response to Zinn that is supposed to be good.

Deregulation has been good in many cases such as the airlines, and telecommunications. Personally, I think deregulation of energy markets would probably be good if handled properly.

How so (for both a & b)? Deregulation seems to me to have been a hot mess almost everywhere.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It turns out I have the best name ever.

Huh. My name sucks, all because of that MySpace guy....

The man who created what will become the destroyer of the earth, better known as the addictive website MySpace. He is blamed by literally millions of people whenever an "unexpected error" occurs. Once enough (important) people become addicted to this site, society will become perpetually late and collapse in a horrendous, fiery explosion of death, destruction, and doom.

My dad would argue that deregulation ruined airlines.

Flying did become much cheaper after deregulation. (That's about all I know on the subject.)
