Summaries Needed
November 29, 2010 1 Comment
Could someone be a dear and summarize some things for me.
- Just what exactly we learned of importance from this ‘wikileaks’ thing. That US diplomats send cables and whatnot that concern international relations and events?
- Which TV show(s?) the various Palins(es?) are on? Not that there’s any danger of me watching them I guess.
- All the ‘Smart’ things that President Barack Obama has done on account of his ‘Smartness’. (I’m sure the list is millions-of-items long, so feel free to edit it down to the top 10,000 or so as needed for space)
- Where the heck is Parks & Recreation. Because that was a funny show! Why would the only funny show on TV seemingly not be on TV? Or am I just failing to find it.
- Why North Korea shelled some island of South Korea’s for no reason. Ok nevermind that one.
- Just how many of these ‘The Girl With’ books there’s gonna be. Will they anthologize it, farm it out to other authors, and turn it into like Nancy Drew for the ’10s? I think they should!
- The plot of that ‘Twilight’ thing. Just so I don’t have to pay attention to it. Is it like ‘Dawson’s Creek’ with vampires? It is, isn’t it?
- And of course, just WTF ‘net neutrality’ is. Even after reading (well, looking at, anyway) the wiki page, I still don’t feel like I know.
1. Read John Robb. Government isn’t very effective against open source insurgencies.
7. There’s only 1 romance novel plot…and Jane Austen wrote it. Twilight is merely the biggest redo recently. Includes friendly Vampires and Werewolves instead of rich landowners, but it’s still the same story.
8. Net Neutrality is the proposal that somebody legislate that it’s illegal for Google to pay for faster speeds for its pageloads from Comcast.
