Crap I had a big long post that got wiped away.

The gist of it was:  Thompson will Surge,  Hypocrisy is good, political opportunism is not so good,  Christians are still the only people who can be stereotyped or insulted without repercussion (except the odd boycott),  I am in Santiago, you'd enever know it from his blog but Ed is a redistributionist.  Same old stuff really.

Oh wait. I should say this: Terry Goodkind's book ChainFire is his best ever, and he is no longer the worst Author I have ever read. That title returns to it's previous owner, Robert Ludlum.  Terry remains in striking distance, because he still is godawful. Just not quite LudlumAwful.  Robert, if you wish to climb out of the cellar, your best bet would be to send me a book. The next of Terry's would probably do the trick.

This reminds me. I watched Ratatouille with Corrie and of course it did not suck. The Critic's coming-of-age letter in the movie, made me think about the lazy criticisms this  and most blogs are based on.    For about two seconds.

I did actually feel bad about criticizing Rathbun's Steak, since I think the GM is good people, but it had to be done.    I bet the Steaks are great, and I love Rathbuns the Original, and Rathbuns the institution.

Oh, go read the comments on the Sanks goal-line run tragedy at heyjennyslater.  I spent some time on mine. Longer than I have spent here anyway.
