I was about to change my entry the other day, but the same day I learned Carlin was dead. So I decided I'd let it hang a bit... Thanks for people adding nice words for him too. Funny timing. I made a tribute to him just before his time, therefore, I must've killed him! Oh, the guilt!
Yeah, ok, enough of that.
On a more egocentric note, I have modeled for my coworker a couple weeks ago, it had been a while since I shot, like, cool, clothed shots. So here's a few. The rest shall be in the usual egocentric folder. Enjoy!

Regarding our politics, well, I am actually on the whole pretty upbeat on the system. I look at the fact that most of our Presidents have come from modest, unexceptional beginnings and managed to rise through a weird kind of meritocracy. Clinton, Nixon, Reagan, LBJ, Eisenhower, Lincoln. Yes, there is something of a show aspect to the political season, and the system encourages some silliness. You have a parliamentary system, which tends to make multiple parties possible. In our system, there are structural reasons to tend to form into two parties. Whenever there have been 3 parties or more, one has completely disappeared. And we have been lucky that the best have come out when we needed it. There are a lot of checks and balances in our system, and those have worked pretty well by and large. The question is whether that will continue.
Of course, I am constantly frustrated on a day-to-day basis with the silliness. The heart-warming part of it is that most people I talk to have pretty good common sense about things - at least 60%.
I also can't tell you how much Americans appreciate their alliances with Canada, Great Britian, and Australia. Truly grateful.
