HR 984 and HR 2093 must go down

I really don’t want to run a political blog, but when it comes to laws, I’m a minimalist.  I also really only have two outlets for news on these issues: the netcasts that mainly come from TWiT, and emails from the HSLDA (which protects families who homeschool, of which I am one).  The above are actually amendments to a bill that if passed will constrict grassroots lobbying at all levels.  The smaller voices are effectively crushed at all levels.  I’m just not down with that.  Please tell your house representatives to vote these puppies down.

And Then There Were 44!

I received an Oliver Hardy Duck today (05.16.07) from Celebriducks, which is one of the many duck websites I will be listing on the sidebar gratis of revenue.  Celebriducks and Rubbaduck are the creators of the really high end ducks, which tells you how out of control this whole pastime of rubber duck collecting has gotten.  I do like the limited editions, and if there was one duck I would really strive to get ahold of is one of the ducks from 1991 that floated around the world due to a transport ship crashing and losing it’s cargo.  Eric Carle wrote a great childrens book about it that my kids just love. 

I also like putting stuff up roughly twice a week, as the blogging slowly becomes an addiction.  I do try to write some things in advance, but I’m having a hard time as a) it isn’t fresh and b) I just want to post and post.  Why didn’t someone tell me about this before I got into it?  Brian has a new tumblr log that I should be checking out, but haven’t had a chance to yet.  Maybe this weekend I can get a peek.  Is it just me or are we all becoming reporters?  No matter if it’s news or opinion, it seems that the whole world is running to the web.  If you are reading this, I suspect I’m telling you something you already know.  But what you may not know is the greatest story of all.  I haven’t always known it, frankly, and somewhere in here I’ll tell you how I came to know it.
