Plenty to report on, but not right now. I'm busy avoiding doing all the work I planned on spending my entire Christmas Break doing (the break ends in less than 48 hours, coincidentally).
But I know people check in, so I thought I'd post some links to articles on South Park. I realize that this show may not be your thing (and here, I'm addressing communist spies reading this page without my permission as well as those individuals who've only pretended to be my friend), but if you've some time and an interest in the show or libertarian philosophy, both links might intrigue you.
The first is entitled "The Invisible Gnomes and the Invisible Hand" by Paul Cantor. Since I'm recommending the article, and since my seal of approval carries with it much esteem, I need not mention that Cantor is some muckity-muck professor at some college somewhere, not just a jackass with a keyboard (like ... um ... me). The article itself is an interesting and in-depth look primarily at the episode in which Tweek's underpants are repeatedly stolen by gnomes as part of a greater capitalist scheme. Lotsa time and research went into the writing of this piece.
The second is an illuminative interview with Matt Stone and Trey Parker by Reason Magazine. Up for discussion is a statue of the Blessed Virgin shitting blood on the pope, Tom Cruise and Scientology, and why The Prophet cannot be depicted handing Peter Griffin a football. Interesting stuff in here about censoring South Park, downloading South Park, and how producers of both The Simpsons and King of the Hill deeply respect South Park for demolishing Family Guy.
And that's about it.
Stuff I'd Like to Write About, But Won't:
- Denver Broncos' Sad End to 2006
- How riding around in a bullet-proof humvee won't protect you from a spray of bullets, and why that's a total crock of shit
- Errol Jones' Emerging Love Life (you read that correctly, and, no, it's got nothing to do with Star Trek and, Dear God, I hope I didn't jinx anything by mentioning it here...)
- The embarassing and inexplicable erection I get from watching a low-budget video by a band of RATM-Pretenders called "Stuck Mojo". Did going to Bali turn me into a redneck bigot, or does this video suggest the beginning of an understandable and highly-needed cultural backlash against decades of namby-pamby multiculturalist indoctrination combined with a legitimate threat from extremists of a particular world religion?
Finally, please enjoy this CG posting from Stalhberg, an emerging master of the new medium. Let's just hope our guitar-playing philosopher friend has better luck than the mustachioed hot-tubber:

Errol's emerging love life, eh?
I'm not surprised. He's smart, funny, plays guitar, and now is totally ripped. Among the 3 of us, he'll marry first, then you, then me (if ever).
~Z :-)
You forgot handsome, humble, has great hair, and kindhearted, asshole.
Lets not forget about Errols love of animals and soft rock. What chick could resist a man who knows all the words to "I'll tumble for ya". Here's to you, Errol... Sucking my dick.
errol is totally ripped cause he followed my program perfectly. I am the father and he is the son. before we go on stage i tell him that he looks good but will come in second place. yeah its good!
