I hate the coments off thing so I’m posting here for the above no comment post.

Rain? What rain?

The only problem with rent a blog is that none of the blogs available are any good as yet and I wouldn’t want some scummy right wing hate person beibg able to rent my blog not would it pay to be in some sick silly blog. I’m sure people that don’t like mine would feel the same way.

get better

first of all i HATE it when I lose posts! it is the most annoying thing in the world. Secondly, I can’t believe your toe is still causing you that much pain, can’t you take something to at least ease the pain a little???

I’d be interested in what you would be doing if you *were* to do a PhD in Sociology. it’s a tough subject. But gives you a great foundation for talking about pretty much anything. guess which degree david’s done.. sigh…

btw – i am LOVING my PhD so far and would THOROUGHLY recommend doing one!!

“…minor lung condition that dampness seems to excabarate. And at 3:15 AM this Friday morning four years ago my mom fell, and died fifteen minutes later.”

You nearly made me weep here as your words reminded me of my sweet mother.

This post is more of your romantic heart and the rhetoric of your soul for the wrongs in your American society.

Of course “Bring it On” and the “Bulldog Manifesto” are the most well defined political blogs on American politics on BE. And I track the Bulldog Manifesto even on “Daily Kos:State of the Nation”. I just read and I don’t even bother about the profiles of the writers.

Well done Pia.

ha ha
Use a word processor and save it from the beginning that way it will always ask you if you want to save something before you close it and you can just copy and past it to your blog.

I checked my ranking, which I just looked up btw and never knew about. I have two because I have a domain name and then the blogspot name. I am at a 2 and a 4. lol.
Does anyone really care?
Can’t imagine so. Look at Salon they really suck and their ranking is pretty high.

The best thing we can do is question without specific answers (can you tell my under and graduate degrees are in History?). It allows us to examine without a prior idea of where we’re going, making our destination more sound.

The google thing, I think, will bring up many privacy questions in the blog world, forcing more bloggers to be more anonymous.

As for your writing, you have a very unique voice, wonderfully suited to saying what you want to get across. It’s like newscasters who have the right voice to read the news. I’m back everyday to hear your voice in these stories. That’s a pretty powerful tool I’d hate to see go unused.

sometimes when i read your stuff, i feel inspired to be a better person. i feel hopeful that just because i am not a republican doesnt mean that i am not a good american. in these troubled times, its a good feeling. so thank you.

“Iâ€™m not suggesting that commenters do this unless I know and love you” cracked me up. Good post, as always, and thanks for the opportunity to orate. Sociology is statistics heaven, too.

I have mixed feelings about Google too. My blog has always had an element of “p*ss*ng in the wind” (does that idiom exist in the US?) – and suddenly theres a good chance that Google will pick up my periodic rants – the times I vented my real thoughts about things I couldn’t tell people I know about.

I’d just like to say, I have been reading your blog for a few days now, and I do have to say, I enjoy every bit of it.

I think you write well. That is a rating comment from a commenter that I hope you won’t mind. But you were kind when you said that you thought I could be a nice guy. Thank you.

Miers is an unfortunate choice, not because of her beliefs, but because she seems so pedestrian. Too bad there weren’t any more John Robertses. Couldn’t read that article as I am not a subscriber.

But as to what you posted, social justice seems like such a vague topic. I’m not really clear on what he was talking about. Which problems is he speaking of? Social inequities, health care, racism? I would be interested to read this article.
