New Lows in Procrastination

Yes, political blogs, White Sox coverage, and Tom Toles cartoons no longer suffice. I had to find a new way to procrastinate. Here are the low points of the last week:

1. Listening to podcasts of "Wait...Wait, Don't Tell Me." I love that show. Of course, being the chronic procrastinator and news junkie that I am, I knew EVERY single question asked.
2. Spanish Newspapers. Yes, American newspapers no longer suffice. Often, I will read Spanish accounts of the same news that I've already read in English. I like to get the international perspective on issues such as the crazy Muslim reactions to those cartoons as well as the passing of Coretta Scott King. More on this later.
3. Games. I normally refuse internet games, but I succumbed today to playing a paparazzi game on peerflixgame.com.
4. Working Out. A perfect procrastination game.
5. Crosswords. That NYTimes crossword book is already halfway gone.

So is anyone else following the reaction to those pictures of Mohammed? This is insane, right? Are the cartoons really even that offensive? I really liked the one where the prophet says to some people waiting to enter heaven "oops, we ran out of virgins." Then again, I'm not the most politically correct person. I still think that political correctness is the one gripe I have with the Left, and I'm glad to see it dying down a little bit. I still think Harvard needs to be checked on this, and like any good Harvard student, I think that all the worlds problems can be solved by another student group: Students for a Politically Incorrect Campus...SPIC--Get it? I'm half Hispanic. I can say that.

Coretta Scott King's contribution cannot be overstated. I've even gotten a little choked up about it, watching the news coverage. Yeah, yeah, bleeding heart, but there's still SOOO much work to be done.

Oh, that reminds me...there's still sooo much homework to be done too.

Out.
