The park in front of the capitol building in Boise is covered with life size cut-outs of children holding cardboard signs promoting foster care. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Mike Rowe, the host of Discovery's "Dirt Jobs", provides 30 seconds of wisdom on judgement v experience. Mike is my kind of philosopher - a hands-on guy who appreciates the contribution of individuals regardless of their societal "status".

An analysis of Glenn Beck protesters:
I can't tell if "Deicide" is a spelling error or some fringe group supporting the right for people to murder deities.
What does the lady on the left have against Yoko Ono?
Is a beach ball the new must-have accessory for protesters?
The white-shades wearing dude in the middle missed his big photo opportunity. Of course, holding up a sign is exhausting. One of the negatives of being Emo and Goth (as noted by the skinny arms and the Beethoven scarf and vest) is that pretty much everything is too heavy. Especially life, man.
"Go Home ManBaby" would make an awesome skit on Saturday Night Live ... or a great title for a song by a new synth-pop band.
All kidding aside, good for them for caring about something enough to make silly signs. I've never been to a protest for anything, but I certainly support this oldest of American traditions.
As I tweeted about yesterday, I broke my glasses. I don't have a back-up other than my prescription sunglasses. This means for the next few days, I'm wearing sunglasses inside. This has elicited a number of responses: My wife breaking in to a giggle fit every time she looks at me. Apparently wearing sunglasses in bed is funny. A number of comments related to having a bright future, playing a piano, trying to be cool, etc. The most interesting is watching how people respond in conversations when they can't see my eyes. They look away nervously, not knowing what to look at. They also can't tell if I can see them so they look around the room instead. It has just made me accutely aware of how much eye contact plays in human interaction.
Of course, I probably already get weird looks and the sunglasses just trick people in to thinking that I can't see them! Maybe I will just wear them all the time, like the guy who wore his conference name tag all the time and got a book deal. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Still waiting for someone to defend ACORN on this. Seriously. Maybe there is a some justification I'm missing. While you are at it, go ahead and explain Gibson's take of "one you leave for the cables".
