1 Inordinate fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vanity. 2 Psychoanalysis: erotic gratification derived from admiration of one's own physical or mental attributes, being a normal condition at the infantile level of personality development. -Dictionary.com. Apparently our whole generation is narcissistic. Reading articles about my generation, written by those not a part of it, I wonder about their conclusions. The articles ( Don't Go Blaming Me.

http://buzzsawhaircut.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
MY MOON, MY MING. It's a crime you haven't read the new issue of buzzsaw yet . So, the new issue is out. Copies are littered around the Commons and the college. It's the crime/Hurricane Katrina issue.

BuzzBlog: The Wrath of the Raptor
http://buzzsawhaircut.blogspot.com/2008/02/wrath-of-raptor.html
The Wrath of the Raptor. In 1993, Jurassic Park was released. The velociraptor was introduced into pop culture and, as a result, those evil, door opening, conniving, dinosaurs that lived over 65 million years ago forever changed its landscape. More than any other dinosaur, raptors are viewed by the public as the “it” dinosaur. Last year on ICTV’s DP Show, they had a sketch featuring Jake Alinikoff as a human/raptor hybrid http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? The sketch raises the question: Why not a human T-rex?

Combing the Sphere: Optimistic and Pessimistic Conservatism
http://combingthesphere.blogspot.com/2010/07/optimistic-and-pessimistic-conservatism.html
They say you can't comb a sphere, but I'm going to try. Sunday, July 18, 2010. Optimistic and Pessimistic Conservatism.

Have a healthy natural environment, we can. Have enough resources for all. But. These things are only...

Combing the Sphere: NY Times on Austerity
http://combingthesphere.blogspot.com/2011/10/ny-times-on-austerity.html
They say you can't comb a sphere, but I'm going to try. Saturday, October 15, 2011. NY Times on Austerity. Just a little quote:. Austerity is a political ideology masquerading as an economic policy. It rests on a myth, impervious to facts, that portrays all government spending as wasteful and harmful, and unnecessary to the recovery. The real world is a lot more complicated. America has no need to repeat Mr. Cameron’s failed experiment. Posted by Daryl McCullough. Facing South (Progressive Southern Blog).
