Kindles for Kindling: A Dangerous Fire

I cannot imagine owning a Kindle, a Nook, or whatever the next Not Book might be. Then again, I was a late adapter of the microwave, so I should talk. While I do not miss the physical card catalog in the library, and love ordering books on line, empty bookshelves in my home would be a sad sight. Worse, what if those shelves started filling up with ceramic elves, fake plants or Webkins? No real legacy there.

But you might enjoy this send up of The Early Help Desk.

I hope we don't forget actual reading in books, that we can pass along in favor of renting words.

Words I Never Thought I Would Say

Hey, If I'm Wrong, I Admit It.

My friends might be surprised to hear me say:

"Dick Cheney knows what he's talking about."

"Well, I'm on Dick Cheney's side on that issue."

"Dick Cheney makes a lot of sense."

Cheney on Iraq

It is said that people who don't know history are condemned to repeat it. But if it's your own history, how can you forget it? Get it right the first time, and you never have to deal with it again. Except for Dick Cheney.
