Study Break #1

It isn’t the first for me, but it might be the first for you.  

Airplane, from College Humor.

Train stations, not just for trains anymore.

What if I have nothing to say?

I realize when I sit here sometimes that I go through my day thinking, “hey, that would be an interesting thing to blog about.” I then promptly forget what it was. Now I’m sitting here with absolutely nothing to say. I’ve recently been impressed by Ann Althouse, who, along with being a law professor, manages to put up what seems like hundreds of posts a day.  Me, I’m lucky if I can put up one every couple of days.  Andrew Sullivan wrote in an article for The Atlantic, “Why I blog” that you have to post as soon as you are done writing, to allow it to flow naturally.  But I’m rarely so fully confident in what I’ve written that I want to expose myself to the world.  And yet I will.

For those of you who missed the Superbowl. This may be the greatest thing to happen to paid for airtime.

The Barack Obama Soundboard

Someone brilliant discovered a number of passages from Barack Obama’s reading of “Dreams of my Father” that are of dubious moral character.  If you are as easily amused as I am you will get a kick out of hearing the President of the United States saying “you ain’t my bitch.”
