I’ve “read” a few good books lately that I recommend. By read, of course, I mean listened to — via the magic of audio-books — as I drive to and from work.
- Empire: The Rise and Demise of the British World Order - dead, white, male militarists.
- A Short History of Nearly Everything - dead, white, male scientists.
- The Great Unraveling: Losing Our Way in the New Century - about one of our worst presidents.
- 1776 - about one of our best presidents.
Next up are:
- The Areas of My Expertise - by the Windows guy from the Apple ads.
- The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals - Food and natural history…awesome!

During last week’s commute I listened to Paul Krugman’s book called The Great Unraveling — one of many books detailing the incompetence and deceit of the Bush administration. It was hard to start the day listening to sometime that made me so made. I must say that last nights elections did a lot to ease the pain. The thing that amazes me the most is that with all the voting going on, there was not a single Republican gain in either the House, Senate or Governorships.
After the AP called VA for Webb, and the Dems had the 51 seats they needed for Senate control, I honored my working-class, Wisconsin roots by enjoying a nice cold beer. Today it is good to be a democrat!
