Too Much Information: Gulf Oil Spill

http://meeg-toomuchinformation.blogspot.com/2010/06/gulf-oil-spill.html

Posts that make you go "hmm.". Monday, June 7, 2010. Congratulations President Obama, the United States’ Gulf Coast is getting destroyed on your watch. The Gulf oil spill began on April 20. Will we feel safe to swim in places like Pass Christian, MS or to dive in places like Key Largo? It’s a very slow process. I kind of think this is because no one really knows what to do and the government would rather point fingers at BP down the road than shoulder responsibility itself. To me this seems even wors...

Too Much Information: June 2009

http://meeg-toomuchinformation.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Posts that make you go "hmm.". Friday, June 12, 2009. When elephants won't budge. Let's get partisan for a moment here. So I read an article last month on Slate.com. Which attempts to answer a question I was wondering myself: why are the Republicans more nasty and difficult than Democrats when they're out of power? On the other hand, Republicans have not been cooperating with the Obama administration at all. Did these congressmen really think that the bill would do more harm than good? I'm sure the thoug...

Too Much Information: Oh, Terry Gilliam

http://meeg-toomuchinformation.blogspot.com/2009/10/oh-terry-gilliam.html

Posts that make you go "hmm.". Friday, October 9, 2009. Oh, Terry Gilliam. So there is a new Terry Gilliam movie slated to come out later this year (imdb says it's going to start showing in the US around Christmas) called the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Now the trailer looks pretty cool, but I have very mixed feelings about seeing this film. My first (pretty random) thought is that its title reminds me an awful lot of that Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium. BAD MOVIES BY TERRY GILLIAM. I will admit befo...

Too Much Information: Looking back at 40 years of Python

http://meeg-toomuchinformation.blogspot.com/2009/11/looking-back-at-40-years-of-python.html

Posts that make you go "hmm.". Thursday, November 5, 2009. Looking back at 40 years of Python. 2009 marks the 40th anniversary of Monty Python's Flying Circus. The sketch comedy series that ran from 1969 to 1974). In honor of this milestone, IFC has been running a 6-hour documentary entitled Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyers Cut). I have, however, listened to an episode of the Slate culture podcast. Is it still funny? For anyone who doesn't know, Monty Python. And went to Occidental College in ...

Too Much Information: Scientists weigh in on inbred Spanish royals

http://meeg-toomuchinformation.blogspot.com/2009/10/scientists-weigh-in-on-inbred-spanish.html

Posts that make you go "hmm.". Monday, October 19, 2009. Scientists weigh in on inbred Spanish royals. Remember my series of posts on inbreeding. You didn't read those? Well, anyway a study was published this spring which adds scientific support to the theory that the decline and fall of Spain's Habsburg dynasty was due to excessive inbreeding. This hypothesis, along with the suggestion that King Carlos II. Spain (in Galicia) entitled " The Role of Inbreeding in the Extinction of a European Royal Dynasty.

Too Much Information: July 2009

http://meeg-toomuchinformation.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Posts that make you go "hmm.". Friday, July 31, 2009. Someone Explain This To Me. So the president has apparently been travelling around the country these last few days in order to drum up support for his big health care reform initiative. Yesterday I saw this piece on the Awl. What I really want to ask these health care opponents is. A) when it comes to health insurance are you (i) uninsured, (ii) underinsured, or (iii) stuck with an insurance company you HATE? B) do you make under, say, $200,000 a year?

Too Much Information: What can we (over)read into yesterday's election results?

http://meeg-toomuchinformation.blogspot.com/2009/11/what-can-we-overread-into-yesterdays.html

Posts that make you go "hmm.". Wednesday, November 4, 2009. What can we (over)read into yesterday's election results? So yesterday was election day in America. Here in Virginia, voters chose Republican Bob McDonell, who is apparently crazy socially conservative, as our next governor over blue dog Democrat Creigh Deeds by around 59% to 41% (boo! In the Great State of New Jersey, unpopular Democratic incumbent John Corzine lost his job as governor to moderate Republican (and fat man. Meanwhile, right-winge...

Too Much Information: April 2009

Posts that make you go "hmm.". Thursday, April 30, 2009. Poem in Your Pocket. So my mom, who is a teacher/school librarian, emailed AND texted me to inform me that today was Poem In Your Pocket Day. It's also Queen's Day and some crazy guy who got laid off drove his car into a crowd of spectators. This one I first read in the anthology from the creative writing class I took in college. SEVEN AT THE GOLDEN SHOVEL. We real cool. We. Left school. We. Lurk late. We. Strike straight. We. Sing sin. We. I could...
