A couple of weeks ago we bought a wireless router for the house. That was followed by a couple of weeks where I didn't bring my laptop home from work.

This weekend I brought it home, and as you can tell, blogging's increased a great deal. I blogged while watching USC/VT last night, blogged while hanging out with Andrew this morning, and now I'm on the front porch watching him play "soccer" (or the four year old variation thereof).

Ain't technology grand.

-One other note: a heartfelt and sincere round of applause to the more than 100,000 protestors who took to the streets of New York City today. You exercised your 1st Amendment rights, and it seems only an insignificant handful of people chose to act in an unlawful manner. Bravo, but be sure to encourage other protestors to be just as peaceful as yourself this week. After all, the world is watching.*

*This doesn't mean I agree with what the protestors said. Nor does it mean that I think they helped their cause by protesting. These slogans probably won't do much to inspire the swing voters. Anyway, let's hope that all the protestors are as peaceful (and misguided) as these were. :)

I confess: I listen to more liberal than conservative talk radio. I do... can't help it. I know what the conservative guys are going to be talking about, but I'm always curious as to what Air America or Sirius's Talk Left will be discussing.

Tonight, as I'm waiting to pick up my daughter from her job, I quickly scanned the dial. On Talk Left, the host was saying he'd like to start a whisper campaign about Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter being a lesbian couple.

Classy!

On Air America, Janeane Garafolo was asked if there is violence in NYC during the Republican convention, is it likely it will be the work of Republican infiltrators egging on protestors. "Yes!", she cried.

Classy!

I'm sure there are conservative talk show hosts who are as bad or worse. Heck, you might even consider me to be one of them. But I gotta tell you, I felt pretty darn good about myself after listening to that drivel.

Now, to be fair and balanced, I actually enjoy listening to Alan Colmes during his talk show. Don't agree with him, to be sure, but I find myself actually listening with interest, not disgust.
