QOTD x 3

Three good ones today... any connection?
QOTD1
QOTD2
At this point, I heart nearly any public person who actually says what's on their mind and not some crap.
As for Cheney's assertion... hey, President Obama isn't good or bad; he's a politician. Period.
Of course, if you consider pretty much all politicians "bad", then well... OK, taking over health care isn't working out too hot, so let's dig up some old CIA shenanigans. What a faker, tourist.
QOTD3
The article for that QOTD is dead on... self-control is more important than IQ. Self-control is extrapolated to mean digging deep, planning, having goals, caring, etc. Amen, sister.
Rowley stumbles on a nice side-effect... she had prohibited TV during the school week, and she found that her kids jumped in front of the set like rabid dogs during the weekend, feasting on the worst crap they could find. So, banning the boob tube made it all the more alluring to the kids ultimately. I don't know the answer, except maybe moderation. A little homework, a little TV, and maybe even a little unstructured play time outside (gasp!).
Speaking of playtime... I'm going running.
smile... yow, bill

QOTD1
"Online, people can't see the yawn"The WSJ goes overboard about crappy Facebook. Don't get me wrong, Facebook is crappy and boring, but the motivation isn't narcissism or something "bad" per se. It's just new and dumb and whatever. Sort of like this blog. He he.

QOTD2
"President Obama's decision to allow the Justice Department to investigate and possibly prosecute CIA personnel, and his decision to remove authority for interrogation from the CIA to the White House, serves as a reminder, if any were needed, of why so many Americans have doubts about this Administration's ability to be responsible for our nation's security."I'll admit. I heart Cheney.

QOTD3
"The breaking point came when my 6-year-old, Holly, got $5 from the tooth fairy and offered some of her stash to my 9-year-old, Charlotte. Charlotte said, "That's okay Holly, you should save your money." Holly literally glazed over and responded: "Save money. Live better. Wal-Mart.""Ms. Rowley has a cool URL: www.moneyandhappiness.com

I think facebook does feed narcissism. However, I don't think those who are already me,me,me,me really think through "this is why I'm using facebook". Rather, the world revolves around them in their own mind, thus the mindless, unnecessary updating. I do agree it's dumb and mostly a complete waste of time. 127 friends ? And a full home page and I rarely spot anything worth smiling at or commenting to. Yours are a welcome exception and I particularly enjoy your blog. Thanks for the push and the inspiration in part to start one myself. That's to say, you are 100% responsible for all of my web content.
