February 23, 2011 – I would go with the caipirinha. And that blood orange drink, which sounds like it might be tasty? Not actually a martini.

February 21, 2011 – I would much prefer that the cops allowed you to bring your AR-15 into the HEB, drop it on the conveyor, and trade it for Pampers and beer. Cut out the middle-man!
February 21, 2011 – Oh, I used to LIVE at the Varsity Theatre. You know you’re old when someone expresses nostalgia for the terrible thing the building became after the movies went silent.

February 18, 2011 – The headline has crystalized for me why I read less of the tech press than I used to: you would never see such a headline on a gadget blog unless conventional wisdom had already determined that a piece of technology was a failure in the marketplace. The tech press assume that technology is something to be loved. It is impossible to imagine an existential dislike of a gadget or its impact on one’s life finding its way into tech-centric publications.

February 17, 2011 – I think this is certainly true: I would extend it further. Even in local districts, contributors to campaigns have the most physical access to lawmakers. Who contributes more, car dealers and doctors, or secretaries, truck drivers and even software engineers? Taking it further still, politics is often about identification. Angry people who win political office present themselves as standing up for the “little guy”, defined in terms of their own socio-economic standing, not in absolute economic terms. And let’s go out one more level: if you run for office as a “little guy” and effectively tell a life story about struggle and sacrifice, it will be a story of the past, not the present. Continued success in politics will require you to associate with people who have money, thus separating you from whatever representative connection you have to tose who don’t have money. I’m not drawing a direct line between poverty and nobility. I’m simply saying that representative democracy based on socio-economic standing is extremely difficult to maintain, and that the scales tend to tip against it based on the inertia of politics.

February 16, 2011 – A clueless blowhard like this guy is far more worthy of scorn than most of the people who slip up and make inartful soundbytes. Let’s hope the Republicans escort Mr. Barbour to the back of the bus.
