Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Scott Adams for President

The Dilbert Blog: Pragmatic Party:
In my fantasy I form what I call the Pragmatic Party. All of my policies would be based on what is most practical. I would accuse my opponents of basing their policies on superstition, i.e. the belief in supernatural beings. That’s called framing the debate. It’s also why I could never be elected. Well, that plus the parts about being unattractive, unqualified, and morally bankrupt. I’d get a ding for those things too.

You need one Big Idea when you run for President. I would explain that our current system of government was conceived prior to the Internet, electronic mass media, and sophisticated polling methods. 200 years ago the only practical form of government involved voting for a small group of individuals that would pretend to represent you. Now we have better tools and we should use them. I would thus infer that my opponents are hole-pooping cavemen desperately clinging to the past. Again, that’s called framing the debate. I’d get lots of TV time because the media would consider me a loose cannon. They like that.
The problem being that most people (not you, of course; you're the exception) are too stupid to know what their best medium- and long-term interests are, and so the polls tend to reflect the most attractive short-term goals. That's not a recipe for success.

Get the "Snow Pack" sign out of storage

Snow stays in picture, if Niekro stays on DL:
The Giants remain committed to Lance Niekro as their first baseman and look forward to his return from the disabled list, but they are said to have not ruled out reacquiring J.T. Snow if Niekro is unable to stay healthy.
Yes, the article goes on to explain that it's not terribly likely, considering Snow's contract and the possibility of Niekro's eventual return. Anyway, Jose Vizcaino is doing fine.

Thanks. No.

Thanks. No.:
Hi. The person who sent you this link is a friend who likes you a lot but who wants you to respect their email address, their privacy, and their time.
Now if only it was anonymous. Though I suppose then the compulsive forwarder wouldn't know who to stop sending to.

We're back!


I know the last post didn't include two photos; apparently Blogger's phone-post feature only shows the first attached image. I have a ton of pics, but no time at the moment to start posting. Here's one to keep you interested...
