William K. Wolfrum’s Morning – Searching for a Heartbeat

Giancarlo Esposito’s greatest work.

Wolfrum’s Word

As none of you may noticed yet, I’ve made a few changes to the ol’ site. Kicked the wheels, started using premium gas (screw you, environment) and added a couple new sections thus far, including “Wolfrum-isms” (hey, if it was your blog, you’d slather your name all over it, as well).

I add this mostly as I’ll be taking leave of Twitter. Nothing at all against the social networking site, but man can that place be addictive. Plus, I’m way better at just making statements than I am at actually conversing, as may have been noticed. Still, I enjoyed Twitter immensely, made a great number of online friends, and told more than 15,000 poo jokes in less than 140 characters. So I leave there with a sense of pride and camaraderie.

But now is time to spend more time at the ol’ blog and chain, where you’ll get more of everything, including dancing bears. Mostly, I’m just searching for a heartbeat.

News/Politics

Hurricane Earl: Some damage, but things had slowed down just enough when it hit inland.

Israel/Palestine: Some mention of peace is made, everybody gets all bomby. We’ve seen this before.

Iraq War Not Valid: Secretary of Defense Robert Gates says the reasoning for going to war on Iraq weren’t valid. Ya think?

Pakistan: More death.

Afghanistan: Can’t they just bail out their banks, too?

Entertainment

Paris Hilton’s Purse: Now that the Lindsay Lohan situation is behind us all, police can now focus on the big fish – Paris Hilton. And just in time for the mid-terms.

Stephen Hawking: The noted physicist admits that it was, in fact, he who created the universe.

No Tubbs, no Crockett

Yeah, Phillip Michael Thomas made an album, too:

Blogs

Juan Cole: Democrats terrified of stopping the Bush Tax Cut madness.

The Washington Note: How about that, they are clinging to guns and religion.

Pandagon: The Southern Strategy lives on.

Lance Mannion: It’s not like Vanity Fair shed any new light on Sarah Palin and the Palinistas.

Osborne Ink: Matt doesn’t buy into criticisms of “American Taliban.”

Finally Friday

So let’s dance!
