The Good
- Trailer for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”… – Woot! Very much not for kidlings any more, but very appropriately spooky.
- Save lots with truly generic pills – Not sure about ordering pills via Amazon, but it’s an interesting idea.
- The wife – Yeah, this sounds kind of familiar. 🙂
- Iomega StorCenter 1TB Wireless NAS Hard Drive for… – Wow. Just … wow. Might need to look into this …
- Doctor Who: David Tennant’s 10th Doctor Returns to… – Doctor Who DVDs for the current series! Woot! (May contain spoilers for folks who are, ahem, behind in watching their Who stuff).
The Bad
- To destroy Al Qaeda, we must end the war on terror:… – Statistical studies like this can never take into account the nuances of a given situation, and police and political engagement work best where there’s a good framework already in place for them. But this RAND study is worth pondering.
- Auto Insurance – To be fair, the insurance person on the phone was probably in India.
The Ugly
- The troops on the ground – Next time some pundit jumps all over some politician saying the most slightly critical thing about our armed forces — remember how those same armed forces sometimes bring a whole hell of a lot more dishonor (as people, and as an institution) upon themselves. And that, in turn, is a much bigger slap in the face to the individual grunts who are risking their lives out there.
