Taking the next few days off....
Due to a combination of work, reading, other blog projects, and a soccer tournament this weekend, I'm taking some time off from tbogg and will return next Monday, Memorial Day. I mentioned last Sunday that I just started reading Masters of Doom and I have to say that I'm really enjoying the hell out of it. I started on computers around the time the first Quake game came out, and it's fascinating to see where the games came from and how they drove the technology we take for granted today. If you're a gamer from way back (c'mon...fess up to your inner game geek) you'll probably enjoy the anecdotes and backstory.
Hopefully by next Monday I'll have the promised, but not delivered, book-blog up.
Life just keeps getting in the way....
dammit.
Keep checking out the nice folks in the Hot Links in the meantime.
(Added)... but before I go, I have to share this one with you:
A survey released today by Young America’s Foundation indicates top colleges and universities across the nation overwhelmingly choose liberal speakers for commencement exercises.
Using U.S. News & World Report’s ranking of the top 50 colleges and top 50 universities in the country, Young America’s Foundation has found for the tenth consecutive year that commencement speakers at these elite schools are heavily weighted to the left.
Commenting on the annual study, Young America’s Foundation President Ron Robinson explained, “For ten years, we’ve shown that college administrators have used commencement ceremonies to send their students off with one more predictable leftist lecture. This year the most prestigious schools exclude scholars like Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, Antonin Scalia, and Clarence Thomas for the likes of Kofi Annan, Madeleine Albright, Walter Mondale, and Geraldine Ferraro.”
[snip]
Notably, FOX News personalities like Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, and Tony Snow are absent from the list of commencement speakers at top universities despite FOX’s ratings as the most watched cable news channel. Instead, people like Jim Lehrer, Tim Russert, and Chris Matthews appear on the list year after year.
Furthermore, conservatives recently appearing on the New York Times best-seller lists, like Peggy Noonan, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, and Pat Buchanan, are absent from the top school commencements whereas liberal authors like Anna Quindlen, Thomas Friedman, Chris Matthews, and Anthony Lewis are speaking at top schools’ commencements.
As they say, some jokes just write themselves......
