An interest eclectic mix of themes in that title if I do say so myself. The fact that I feel NPR has done two things in the recent weeks that really brings up some questions about the image they have so often been accused of and denied and where they really stand. It is in fact odd that I find NPR to have actually been rather unjust in these two matters over the last couple of weeks. Additionally, I have to question the situation that has come about from the state of Texas regarding Anthony Graves unjust interment in prison, wrongfully. And Texas has nothing to offer for the sixteen years or so of his life – gone, stolen.
I have not had a good list of those little observations in a long while, partly because most things of late have been a longer post. However, I have come up with several shorter pieces of information to share over the last few days. They range from some comments on the Nobel Prize for Physics concerning the invention of a graphene to the tea party’s hijacking by the likes of Glen Beck and a very personally disappointing Sarah Palin. Somewhere in between there will be some comments on about how I think Toyota got a raw deal from the government regarding the recall, but that really goes back to September. Mixed in there somewhere will be a little bit about the FreeCycle concept what I think is wrong with it working as well as it should.
Some belated thoughts on the ongoing controversy concerning the plan to build a mosque near Ground Zero. Note my refusal to say on/in Ground Zero, as it is not even in that location. The absurdity of somethings being made an issue just amazes me at times.
I have not put together one of these observation style blogs in a while. Had a couple of things that just screamed a short mention to me a little bit ago and so here are a few of them.
