Huh?
I have no answers today, only questions.
Why, exactly, did the Lone Strangers play at the 17th Annual Valentines Event on Saturday night? Did we accomplish whatever it was we were supposed to? What were we thinking when we picked those songs? Should this ever happen again?
Will Iowa State be able to use the victory over Texas to springboard to a road win? Will Jake Sullivan be able to shoot more than 2% on the road? What happened with Marcus Jefferson, for real? What on earth makes me think that I can go play basketball tonight without severely injuring/killing myself? What are the odds that the gym will actually implode from all of the sucking that is taking place: caliber of play, and me trying to fill my lungs with oxygen?
At this point, is there really any point in trying to be politically correct anymore?
Why is there a sudden, newfound fascination with blogging? My links page quadrupled in size over the weekend. How many of the new authors will be able to sustain their momentum? How many will be able to sustain their momentum and be able to write something interesting? When I started (way back in the day), I came under fire for missing a single day; what are the odds that this will happen to anyone else? Now that there is more fodder out there, will anyone still care if I do?
Which is better: Halo or Return to Castle Wolfenstein?
Speaking of blogging, why do I persist? This wasn't supposed to be a political blog, but what else am I going to write about? What else can I do that is interesting to more people than just a small group of my friends? At 5 columns a week, I am doing about 100% more output than most syndicated columnists - why don't I get paid for this? Anyone want to hire me?
Why is it that people will drive 75 in the right-hand lane, then go to pass someone and slow to 67? Why does the city of Ames behave like it hates students? Why do people take Al Sharpton seriously, but not Alan Keyes? Why is that I can take a 2 hour nap, get 10 hours of sleep, and still be tired in the morning? Does anyone want to buy a slightly used Marshall Amplifier? How long will it be before the New York Times actually publishes a full section for corrections?
Did you know that the company that makes the energy drink Rockstar has released Diet Rockstar? Does anyone else see any irony, or at least an oxymoron, in this? And is it at all possible to come up with a better product endorsement for me? I bought a can for display purposes only, but does anyone know if the stuff actually tastes good?
Why must I read Leviticus?
No answers, only questions.

I read the first half of chapter 1 of Leviticus. I was wonder the same thing.

Clicked on the link for "politically correct".
Dear God, can't I just be gay? Queer if I must, but this total screwing with the veranuclar is starting to work my final nerve. Not to mention it confuses my straight friends.
People take Al Sharpton seriously? I don't know who you are referring to, but after the Twana Brawley incident, Al does't have much cred left.
You don't have to read Leviticus. Besides, burnt offerings violate the clean air act.

I also made the mistake of clicking on the politically correct link. and I just don't know what to think anymore.

RtCW is FAR AND AWAY better than Halo.

My question is: why did we all click on the politically correct link? What drew us to it?

I clicked the politically correct line because I thhought it would be something scandalous about the gay community, since between Mass. and San Francisco every conservative in the country is having a stroke about the whole wedding thing.
Instead of scandal, I found tragedy. Story of my life.

"If you're not a man or woman, words like 'gay' or 'lesbian' don't fit you anymore,"
ummm...since when was there another option?
