Sometimes, when I’m walking about, during my day, and I have my iPod headphones crammed in my ears. I see the looks from my fellow passers by, and they are looks of, well, I guess you could call them looks of disappointment, or even perhaps disdain. Their eyes are asking the tacit question: “Why is that tall white boy separating himself?”

I didn’t really think about it. Then I heard Neil Cavuto’s analysis on the subject:

It should not come as a surprise that The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com are becoming somewhat Old School as we get older; with phrases like Born After Star Wars, Coffee-Cocktail, Macification and United Statesian.

Well, one of the debates I like to get into, with the younger crowd, is the proper order of C.S. Lewis’ “Chronicles of Narnia”.

I mentioned it before, Here, but with Prince Caspian coming to theaters, I thought I would amplify it.

I’ve recently discovered the Onion News Network on The-Onion-dot-com. I’ve been a fan of The Onion’s Radio News Podcast for several years now, and while the video version is a bit raw, there are a few gems, like this one:

The history of politics is an interesting subject for me.
If its Electoral College Demographic History to the taxonomy of what makes a Republican a Republican and what makes a Democrat a Democrat.

For example: The Democratic Party of John F. Kennedy, is not the Democratic Party of today. There was a major shift during the Eisenhower/Kennedy/Johnson and Nixon Administrations which made a lot of people switch parties.

I’d like to think it was around Civil Rights, or Vietnam, but it was probably something much deeper, much more philosophical. And I’m probably a little naive on the subject, because I was born at the end of this transition.

But, I’m hearing a lot of people on both party lines complaining about their particular political party.
But before I expound anymore, I’d like to offer this little Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com Weather Balloon.

How do you, the Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com Reader, see the current political landscape. What do the Democrats stand for, and what do the Republicans stand for?

Many months ago, Cisco sent me this map, which was a fascinating look at which leaders were most influential in launching the wars the United States military fought in.
