Leaving, on a jet plane
by Pete on July 29, 2005
However, I do know when I’ll be back again. I’m currently packing my bags for a week-long vacation in Oregon. While I am taking the laptop with me, I suspect access to the Intarwebs is going to be pretty scarce. (…)

by Pete on July 21, 2005
Regarding Supreme Court nominee John Roberts, I think it’s safe to say that the charm offensive has begun. As Exhibit A, I give you this headline in today’s edition of everyone’s favorite mouthpiece of East Coast liberal elitism, the New (…)
Consequences of spending two straight days in the rack room
by Pete on July 20, 2005
My apologies for the dearth of posts the last few days. One of our servers at work went down over the weekend, and I have spent almost the entirety of the last two days holed up in the server room. (…)

by Pete on July 15, 2005
Remember that thing I said a few days ago about having to sit through ads for Tucker Carlson’s new show on MSNBC in order to read articles on Salon.com? About how it was kind of a drag? Now the ad (…)

Music update
by Pete on July 12, 2005

I think it was nearly two years ago, following all the fooferah about those 16 words in the President’s State of the Union address, that I said something along the lines of “Jesus! One of these days, some of this (…)
How quaint.
by Pete on July 11, 2005
A few days ago, Craig and I were discussing the various woes facing Senate Democrats as a result of the retirement of Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. While I may write about the actual content of that conversation, what I actually (…)
Intellects vast and cool…
by Pete on July 5, 2005
Went to see War of the Worlds yesterday, and I have to say—it was pretty damn cool. There were definitely some logic gaps in the background story line, but I didn’t really notice them until the movie was over. The (…)
