I'm at Durant!
I go to camp today, and will spend the vast majority of the next six weeks there. It's not as though I've been posting here with any real frequency lately, but I'll be completely dark for a while. I'm sure you will all survive.
Some quick thoughts on Summer stuff:
I really liked Obama's Egypt speech, but never got around to writing about it.
I'm really sorry to be missing a debate on what is quickly becoming my favorite political topic, Health Care. However, I have bought two books with opposing views on how to lower costs and do health care better. Should be a fun summer!
I have no idea on what the fallout of Iran's election will be. Either a) the people over there actually like Mahmoud or b) they are completely screwed. Obama is going to have a tough choice on how much he wants to mingle and how strongly he can react. Hopefully this will encourage a stronger opposition to Mahmoud from Russia et al.
It will be WONDERFUL to get out of the house. It's been a long month with not a ton to do since I haven't been working.
Read this. Emily Farnell is my favorite person ever.
Have fun kids.

Important things
"I think I misplaced my penis"
-Will Ferrell, on Man vs. Wild with Bear Grylls.
There is no way that that dude's real name is Bear.

SCOTUS
(supreme court of the United States)
I know very little about Sotomayor, but the thing that's come up thus far that interests me is her comment that a Latina woman can make a better decision than a white male, all else equal. That does bother me to a point, but i will give her the liberty of this -- a Latina woman and a White male can make a better decision than two white men or two Latina women. For this reason, I support Obama nominating someone on the basis of identity issues. Is it unfair to a male candidate in this cycle? Sure. But we've had several years in power and still hold a massive majority throughout government and industry. Once the court is 5-4 of even 6-3, then that can go away. At this point in time, however, I do like a nice diversity of backgrounds on the court.
empathy? sure. In the words of John Stewart, "BE A F&*%ING PERSON!"

Green Day
I've read half a page of the
Rolling Stoneprofile of Green Day who is getting ready to release a new Rock Opera, 21st Century Breakdown. I've never really listened to Green Day at all, but through what I've read, here are the names mentioned in the article: Pete Townshend, John Lennon, George Harrison, Bruce Springsteen, Keith Moon, Charlie Watts, Kurt Cobain, and Bob Dylan (The album is compared to The Clash's London Calling and The Who's Quadrophenia). The references are waaaaay too thick to be ignored. Is Green Day -- GREEN DAY -- in that category? I need to know if this is an album that I will need to pick up.

Home
Bah
I've tried to write an interesting reflection on second semester/being home about three times. It hasn't really worked.
So. Blah blah home thursday at 3 waffle house sat around hockey waffle house airport (GO CANES) Star Trek Sleep late Unpacking Camp June 14 good seeing home people miss school people miss freedom parents good but annoying I annoy them too blah blah blah.
Since this is stupid, I'll go ahead and post...
Something funny
Something interesting
And something in between
Most interesting part of all of this -- "the house." Is this guy actually a normal human being? Even if he's not, he's trying really, really hard. There's nothing resembling a messiah complex there from what I'm getting, unless I'm just not trying hard enough.

As Obama moves to revive the stalled Middle East peace process, Monday's meeting has been widely predicted to be a tense affair, but that may be overstating the drama. Netanyahu, like any Israeli prime minister, has an overwhelming incentive to get along with Israel's single most important ally; Obama, for his part, needs to fashion a peace process that produces results, for which he requires Netanyahu's cooperation. So Monday's encounter won't be a showdown as much as the opening exchange of a difficult conversation that could continue for months.
And something in between
Newsweek: And the last movie you saw?
PBO: Now, movies I've been doing OK [with] because it turns out we got this nice theater on the ground floor of my house … So Star Trek, we saw this weekend, which I thought was good. Everybody was saying I was Spock, so I figured I should check it out and—[the president makes the Vulcan salute with his hand].
