Journal shadowspark's Journal: Oh you funny Americans... WoW... Las Vegas... 9

Wow, if this is what Americans think of Canada how unfortunate :(.

I actually tend to lean right on most political issues, but sometimes the far right really seems to go a little extreme. Oh well.

The addiction that is WoW is disturbing. The game has far exceeded my expectations and I don't understand how I even enjoyed playing SWG when I had played it for so many months. For those out there in /. land I am on: Alleria:Alliance:Human Priest Level 45 [miner/skinner], Thunderhorn:Horde:Tauren Shaman Level 29 [alchemist/herbalist], Laughing Skull:Horde:Undead Mage Level 18 [tailor/skinner]. Name = 'shabbas' on all servers to keep consistent.

Just recently got back from Vegas and had a great trip. I would like to go there again, and this time I'll know how to use transit instead of walking the entire 3-4 mile feet torture that is 'The Strip'. I also know better than to walk away from the Fremont Street Experience and walk into the seedier hotels. Wow what a difference :). Had fun, ate a lot and enjoyed the sights and sounds that is Sin City. Was actually impressed that Imperial Palace wasn't a dive and very convenient for our (my brother and I) purposes. Got sick at AdventureDome @ Circus Circus learning that I am now too old for roller coasters. I now know the better time to go would be late March or April when the swimming pools are open.

Been trying to keep up with the JEs, but due to the free subscription and additional 'friend links', I am getting overwhelmed with JE entries. Additionally, work has been so busy I haven't had time to read most.

    • "Vocal minority".

      At least I hope so.

      Even Bush himself has been trying to make nice lately. It's the wingnuts who supported him most vocally that now apparently feel betrayed because he's trying to be nice to Canada and (gasp!) France of late. My hunch is that that is what's behind this rhetoric -- their position is now so politically untenable that their fearless leader's moving away from them has them even more in a rage.

      Probably irks them that the likely new Deputy Secretary of State [whitehouse.gov] is pals with a

      • Well, I'm glad that the Bush Administration (version 2.0) finally realises that having some friends in the world isn't all that bad. Wasn't Condi here in Lux recently? Yeah, she was... [gouvernement.lu] I head the traffic jams were bad... They blocked half the city for her. Making safe no fundamental Luxembourgish Terrorist would blow himself up with her. Although, with a mouth like that she must know a lot about blowing herself. *evil grin*

  • I wrote about Ann Coulter [slashdot.org] a month or so ago.

    I can't decide whether she is a clever troll, a charlatan, who has tapped into to a rich vein in American culture that guarantees her a lot of fans and readers, and the cash that brings, or whether she actually believes the stuff she writes.

      I'll put it this way: I've known a number of people who talk just like she does and say strikingly similar things. A lot of it is just bravado, but the people I knew and know lap this kind of stuff up (kind of like I lap up whatever it is that the_mad_poster spouts off

      • Seems to me that it's just balancing out the system: Neo vs Smith == Coulter vs Moore

        I demand an epic battle to the death!
        • Moore doesn't advocate murder of his opponents.
        • F911 pissed off a lot of people, who saw it as partisan and untruthful. Shortly after F911 came out various sites came out, and tried to counter F911.

          Let me put the point of my comment here. Moore has shown that he has standards. There is evidence he didnt' use, and interviews that he cut.

          Do you remember Nick Berg? Nick Berg was a young, idealistic American. He was a telecommunication specialist, who (correctly) thought his skills would be of great value. He may have had no idea how unsafe he was
