Once again I examine the issues happening today.

That happened I guess.

I like this version much more.

This may shock some readers I debate with, but I have more in common with them than they may realize.

I consider myself a moderate. By that I mean that I find that whenever debate about politics happens, I frequently find my views tend toward the middle of the road. And while I do favor many policies that appear to be of a progressive viewpoint, I usually do not favor them for the same reason that folks of a liberal bent do.

My impression of the current news cycle.

1) Some Progressives: “We’re gonna hold public demonstrations about some grievances we have.”
Some Conservatives: “Hey! That’s only cool when we do it!”

2) Some Conservatives: “We’re gonna pick out the craziest members of that crowd and attempt to pretend they represent the views and attitudes of the whole group.”
Some Progressives: “Hey! That’s only cool when we do it!”

So I am currently deployed to Iraq and so far this deployment has been nothing but one big “what not to do” campaign from the top down. There are probably a million things I could add to the list at this point but I have one story in particular that stood out.

Hi! *waves*

My husband is out with the kids right now. So I’m setting up an official Skippy’s List Facebook page because I’m tired of waiting for him to do it.

He has all these little thoughts and events that happen through the day, that really aren’t blog-worthy, but Facebook and Twitter are perfect forums for them.

BTW, did you know he HAS a Twitter account? Yes, @skippyslist. Be kind, he’s still getting the hang of it.

Noob.
