Charlie Pierce’s “Idiot America.”Dumb as a Blog: Dumb As An Interview: <i>Idiot America</i> Author Charles Pierce on truTV.com Mockery has been an important part of informed citizenry ever since the concept of citizenry was invented. Satire is a weapon of the disenfranchised and the un-empowered. One of the most distressing developments of recent times is that people like Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter are regularly referred to as “satirists,” when, in fact, they are mere bullies on behalf of the established powers. I don’t argue that mockery makes us smarter, but it can make us better citizens. I hope Sarah…

We’ve really, really been riveted by Torchwood’s 5 part miniseries this week. Today’s the day when the creepiness ramps up even more.

They are genuinely grieved, and they believe that the church is in the process of ruining itself. I don’t agree; I think we are finally ready to…

We’re planning on using some upcoming vacation time to do some home improvement projects… yes, it’s The Floor Project From Hell: Next Generation, and theoretically The Floor Project From Hell: Back To Bed. Part of that project will be adding 2 ceiling fans in the two “guest” bedrooms (with the help of a real electrician) and so today we went around looking at fans. There’s a place in the neighborhood that actually specializes in fans, so we went there first. Interesting experience: it’s a small stripmall store front, absolutely stuff full of stacks and stacks of boxed ceiling fans. There…

The second week of my attempt to get used to soft contact lenses begins. My eye doctor advised a different method, which causes me no end of frustration. This method seems easier to deal with. Bausch & Lomb: Inserting and Removing Your Soft Contact Lenses Inserting the lens into your eyes 1. You may want to rinse your lenses in a multi-purpose such as ReNu MultiPlus® Multi-Purpose Solution before you put them on. 2. Put one of the lenses on the tip of the index finger of the hand you write with. Be sure the lens is right-side-out (the edges…
