Casual Soapbox

Casual Soapbox is a blog, the purpose of which is to provide me with a venue to expound upon politics, popular culture, religion, humor, and any other topic that boils my blood. I'd love to say I have big plans for this site, but I don't, except to bloviate pompously, deprecate myself and others, practice my verbal skills, and pathetically imitate popular people I admire. So, if any of that appeals to you, this blog's for you!

Blogs You Should Read

I just added a couple blogs to the old blogroll (look to your left).

The first, Opiate of the Masses, is run by James, a friend of my brother's, who I just discovered had a blog and had already linked to me (Thanks, James!). He's got some great pictures in his photo gallery, and a very eloquent post about why the Plame Affair is such a big deal. Check it out.

The second, the cryptically-named blog, blah, is run by Kaan, a friend of a friend who's been writing recently about Austin software shop Motive, his former place of employment. Apparently they've been having some problems with their shareholders and the SEC. Kaan also wrote an excellent rant against those who voted for Proposition 2.

In case anyone is interested in how I choose the blogs for my blogroll, here's the process. If I've had some interaction with you outside of the world of blogging, you might get on the blogroll. If I've contributed to your blog, you might get on the blogroll. At the moment, that's it. So, if you've sent my 107 requests to be added to my blogroll and I don't know who you are, you're wasting your time (Andrew Sullivan).

Thanks for the nice words! I don't know if I would call my post ont he Plame affair eloquent. I make my point, but in a ham-fisted fusion of sophomoric humor, righteous indignation, and fascination with big words.

Sounds like the best way to make a point to me!
