shaken with winds
nor spattered with rains,
nor does snow pile ever there, but the shining bright air
stretches cloudless away,
and the white light
glances upon it.

BLOGROLL
THE GOLD STANDARD
Lawrence Auster: He has passed on, leaving chronicles of liberal and neo-conservative folly and offering a traditionalist conservative cure.
Belmont Club: Whatever you know about geopolitics, Richard Fernandez and many of his commenters are two steps ahead of you.
Steve Sailer: Thinking the unthinkable, saying the unsayable.
Mark Steyn: In a class of his own for the amount of wit he can pack into a single article. A programmed liberal's worst nightmare.
Man and the Unknown: Amazingly comprehensive parapsychology site.
Near Death Experience Research Foundation: Get an afterlife. First-person accounts from those who say they've been to the Other Side.
Beyond the Veil: Links galore to web pages about paranormal consciousness and phenomena.
Association TransCommunication: For millennia, religions and mediums have spoken for the dead. Now, they speak for themselves.
Market Folly: Learn from the hedge fund titans as they gain, or lose, hundreds of millions.
Charles Hugh Smith: "Consumerism is psychological/spiritual junk food ... well-being is increased by everything that cannot be commoditized by a market economy or financialized by a cartel-state financial machine -- friendship, family, community, self-cultivation -- rather than by acquiring more."

Dont know whether its going to be obama or mac.but I am going to watch quantum of solace thats for sure. and voting for it :)
Rick, I share your pain.
I tried to make the best of a very bad situation when I voted earlier. My eleven year old daughter asked whether she might go with my wife and I to the polling place and observe the process to learn more about voting. I was delighted that she asked and to include her; we studied the ballot together, read and reasoned through the state questions together, double checked for inadvertent mistakes (inadvertently voting for either/or in the presidential election, as an example) on our ballot when we were done together, fed our ballot into the machine together, and then discussed the process afterward, including the necessity of voter registration and verification, and the fact of the secret ballot. I even allowed my daughter to "complete the line" in the various races, as is the process on Oklahoma ballots.
All good on this day of infamy, Nov. 4, 2008.
Terry,
Whatever happens, you have done your best to make sure your daughter lives in an America she can be proud of.
