Straight from the horse's mouth: Militant environmental groups like Sierra Club are crazy, and nuclear weapons don't have a significant impact on the environment.
And that's what I heard just from turning on the radio between turning onto Columbia Road from my house and parking in the Giant parking lot (without stopping too). This was also what he was talking about in the midst of a discussion about Hurricane Katrina efforts...because...ummm...its relevant?
Need I say wtf?
No, but I'll say it anyways. wtf?
I mean... I know that all of these talk shows are politically skewed, but this is ridiculous. There's no need for blatant(and random) outbursts of incoherency in the midst of a national talk show discussing an ongoing natural disaster entirely unrelated to any of this.
Sorry about that, but it just seemed so stupid I had to write it down somewhere as a reminder to myself of the gross stupidity found across the political landscape.
That said, I feel quite bad about the Katrina situation. Fortunately I don't have family in the area, but its still frustrating that we knew about the destructive capabilities of this storm and still weren't prepared, albeit millions did evacuate.
I head back to school on Saturday. I'm stopping by my brother's apartment in Jersey on Saturday, then moving back in to Massachussetts on Sunday. Classes this semester include the oh so exciting Electricity and Magnetism (at least this one will use diff eq and such), Linear Algebra(another exciting class...-_-), Philosophy of Science (This I am excited about), and Art History(supposed to be lots of work and memorization but really good so I suppose it will be interesting). Its a year long course though, meaning that I take 101 this semester and 102 next semester, which takes up space in my schedule, but I would have had to take some kind of art related class at some point, and its better than taking a language.
I've been reviewing my calc stuff from high school by doing ap tests that I did before and stuff. Most of it is easy, but there is the occasional randomness where I'm like "Oh crap, how do I approximate 64^(1/3) using a series and then find the remainder after 3 terms..." Hopefully I won't need to really know some of this stuff for the purpose fo t.a.ing an entry level Calc class, but I don't know yet so I'm gonna do some of it anyways I guess.
Bleach 47 good. The series has so far yet to dissapoint since the story and pace are driven less by the whole Dragonball type train-and-fight thing and more by crazyness plus Urahara.
