Chasing a trail of smoke and reason

The purpose of this blog, as far as I've figured out thus far, is:

• Discussion of current events and where this country is going
• Political and philosophical discussion, particularly theoretical
• Topics in Computer Science, Linguistics, and Language
• Miscellaneous, Other, and "and now for something completely different"
  

So, uh... let's do this!

"Oh God, how did this get here? I'm no good at internets!"
