I’m back! I’ve spent the past two weeks in North Carolina for my wife’s brain surgery. Everything went well, but it’s still a very trying and emotional process. She had the surgery on the 9th and every day has been a challenge. I’m so thankful she’s doing well and hopeful this will put an end to this thing once and for all. We’ll learn more in six weeks.
I can’t say enough about Duke University Hospital. Everyone was nice. I was happy to be back in NC for a few days, but we were both ready to get back to Florida. Two weeks away from home and friends is about all we could take.
Meanwhile, The Daily Plunge has been lacking any daily activity. So much has happened the past two weeks… Obama gave a speech that will only be remembered for Joe Wilson. Alas, it’s a different Joe Wilson. Whatever happened to “speaking truth to power?”
In less than a year the left has turned a complete 180. Protests used to be grassroots uprisings against the government. Now they’re characterized as angry racist mobs more concerned about the color of the president’s skin than the content of his proposals.
What else have I learned? Cable news really is horrendous. Fox and MSNBC are almost unwatchable. I’m not sure how anyone can complain about Fox. MSNBC has thrown objectivity completely out the window. MSNBC’s coverage of the ACORN incident is hilarious.
Speaking of ACORN, who would have believed it was criminal institution? Who saw that coming? I jest of course. It’s amazing that the press had to be dragged kicking and screaming to cover the story. I gripe a lot about the mainstream press, but the great thing about the Information Age is that real journalism still exists.
When I first started nemov.net six years ago I originally wanted to call the site the Daily Plunge. Unfortunately someone owned the domain at that time. Yesterday to my great excitement the domain was available and now it’s all mine.
When I was a kid growing up I used to write the Daily Plunge as a chronicle of my home’s daily events. As the oldest of five children there was always plenty of things going on that made for a good story. Later on I used the name again in a Counting Crows message board community. It was kind of like the Onion for our little group. Now the Daily Plunge will be the home of humor, politics, my assault on the penny, Club Soda’s defense of the penny, and a tribute to Senator Tom Harkin. Plus, the use of the oxford comma.
