The New York Post (owned by Rupert Murdoch. just sayin’) published the John McCain op-ed that the New York Times refused to run. The Times said something about McCain’s piece not fitting with their liberal agenda and offical pro-Obamania! stance.
Anyways, here’s the McCain response (please try to ignore the huge Iraqi prime minister head that is inexplicably looming over this page).
And Obama’s piece published last week.
This seems reasonable.Forget cowtipping. These days, city slickers are cowpooling - teaming up to buy the whole animal from local family farms.
For anyone reading this blog who might want to hire me: I have no practical skills that are useful in everyday life beyond the basic actions that keep me alive (i.e. proper protocol for ordering at restaurants, map reading, etc.)
I became shockingly aware of this fact last night when my buddy’s car refused to start and began smoking from the interior vents.
Now, I understand how a combustion engine works. I get what a valve train is. I sort of know what the ignition system is all about and I could probably describe it to a six year old, who would be moderately impressed for about 15 seconds. But I do not know what to do when something not so obvious goes wrong. My knowledge of car engines is therefore just as useful as my knowledge of quantum mechanics or the solo work of The Doors’ Ray Manzarek.
This being my 26th birthday, I resolve to become a real, functioning adult who is useful in situations that do not require trivial knowledge of New Wave British Heavy Metal Bands.
Look forward to future essays on this topic.
