The Age of Obtuseness

Cognitive dissonance is a part of the human condition.

I think that it’s more due to the idea that conservatism is more “legitimate” than liberalism.

Some people think of themselves as conservatives regardless of how liberal their positions on certain issues are.

America is a country with centre-left values – if you poll on the issues and not the labels – that votes centre-right and beyond.

That’s a good point, God.

There’s nothing better than a deep fried Mars bar.

Travelling music, eh?

One of the best drumbeats.

I love this song!

WATCH LIVE: Mubarak Resigns! Egyptians Celebrate!

Ah, the Cool-aid man has just arrived. 😉

Intrapreneurship!

They probably could if they wanted to.

The comments over there are hilarious, but not in a good way.

I just think that they – the higher ups in the military – wanted to keep their position.

While I’m glad for the Egyptian people that Mubarak’s out, I’m awfully concerned over the Egyptian militarys sudden change of heart after 30 years.

Morning Blog

I find it strange that Japan isn’t producing much energy from wind-powered generators. I’d have thought that as an island nation with a good infrastructure base that they’d be in a perfect position for it.

Berlusconi is like a modern day Commodus, vain, corrupt and arrogant. I hope that the bill isn’t passed.

Trivia Answer: Ombudsman is a Swedish word. (My business classes pay off!)

South Africa blocking a visit by the Dalai Lama. Well, that’s ironic and just a tad hypocritical. And as for China, the government there is so afraid of the old man that it’s almost comic.

The people in that train crash in Shanghai are very lucky indeed. Such crashes are usually deadly. Thankfully, it wasn’t.

Good day, Kalima!

Lol.

N. Korean defectors. It must have been hell trying to get out. That country is a literal fascist dystopia.

The death penalty me interests me, Kalima. Is it a topic of conversation in Japan, did a high-profile case come up, or are advocacy groups campaigning against it?

I think that I’ve exhausted most of my vocabulary on the Tory government. In conclusion, they’re a bunch of tossers.

Trivia: A bamboo cane? That’s unusual.

Answer: It’s called fall because of the leafs falling from the trees. I can’t think of anything else.

Bullfighting is absolutely abominable and just plain stupid.

» Posted By Caru On September 14, 2011 @ 1:01 pm

I forgive you. 🙂

» Posted By Caru On September 14, 2011 @ 12:45 pm

Now that’s good story, Kalima! Were they drunk or is your husband just that good looking?

» Posted By Caru On September 13, 2011 @ 3:29 am

I have no idea, Kalima. 🙂 That’s why I’m asking.

I’ve been mistaken for a girl once before, but that was intended. It was for a play, since most of the schools here are same sex.

That was funny. 🙂

» Posted By Caru On September 13, 2011 @ 3:07 am

Lol. I find this hilarious. Do I type like a girl or something? 😉

» Posted By Caru On September 13, 2011 @ 2:46 am

Good morning to you, Kalima. We’ve caught the remainder of the storms that went up America’s east coast, so it’s rather windy here.

About the 43% renewable energy by 2020. I think that Greenpeace’s idea that you can reduce energy consumption by 1.7% each year is a little too optimistic. But, I may be wrong

Say what you want about the Tory government – and I do 🙂 – but the idea of separating the investment arms of the banks from their high street operations is very smart.

Gods, why does anybody listen to Russia any more? They always seem to be blocking something.

Trivia Answer: I’d say willow maybe.

Have a good Tuesday!

» Posted By Caru On September 13, 2011 @ 2:43 am

Amen.

» Posted By Caru On September 12, 2011 @ 5:03 pm

As you do. 🙂

» Posted By Caru On September 12, 2011 @ 4:52 pm

Well, you’re not alone there, Kalima. My dad has the same feelings about the French. You should hear the stories he tells about their rudeness. It’s unbelievable and hilarious. 🙂

» Posted By Caru On September 12, 2011 @ 4:42 pm

Sarcasm towards a snooty French man? Is that the British in you, Kalima? 🙂

» Posted By Caru On September 12, 2011 @ 4:22 pm

But Dr. Doom did it! 🙂

» Posted By Caru On August 24, 2011 @ 12:07 pm

That would require both hindsight and foresight, Kalima. Something successive governments have been lacking in.

Yes, in the video the policeman just walks over and shoves him down.

Did you see the other video where they dumped a man out of his wheelchair?

Their reasoning was that they were helping him to move.

» Posted By Caru On June 7, 2011 @ 2:28 pm

That’s really true, Kalima. British police tactics are amongst the worst, IMO, because they are so adept at manipulating large groups of people.
