What the...

I've been reading over some of the blogger literature and come to the conclusion that this medium is not what I thought. The idea that a person could leave some deep insightful comments on life seems to be negated by the small space given to leave the message. Brevity seems to rule the internet blog as well as the headlines.

Oreo Cookie Philosopy might actually work here - it is the idea that the universe can be analogously explained by anything i.e. you can explain how the universe works using an oreo cookie. The idea was fabricated while in college and there was an explanation of the universe using an orea cookie - only I can't remember what the explanation was. Which is just as well since the philosophy says you can use anything - it doesn't matter what it was, the explanation will change almost immediately anyway.

I used to think this ability was a blessing - a way of rationalizing anything "Always look at the bright side of life." With the antics of the current Bush administration, the curses of this ablility are becoming evident. Being able to find the good in something inherently bad was no doubt a skill useful to many Nazis.
