DJ McGuire points us to a New Republic article by Joshua Kurlantzick that says the economic downturn might spell the end of China’s Communist government:
For years, the Beijing regime has stayed in power using a basic bargain with its citizens: Tolerate our authoritarian rule and we’ll make you rich. And for years, this seemed to [...]
It’s Wednesday and at another site I used to do this thing where I’d ask the audience to ask me a question that I would then answer. It helps create a little bit of interaction between I the writer and you the reader as well as give me something to do in the middle of [...]
Hirons asks:
Why is the sky blue?
The liberal educational agenda would tell you it’s because the atmosphere is primarily oxygen. But really it’s pixelated that way by the computer that’s really running everything. If you go high enough into the sky you hit the screen and break it.

Scott asks:
MySpace or FaceBook?
Depends on what you’re looking for, I guess. Facebook lends itself to more professional uses, has a cleaner design, and is a bit open on the social aspects of it (partially spurred by the cleaner design). Myspace is busier, but strikes me as easier to use and connect to strangers, find new [...]
Olivia asks:
Why is the posting time incorrect on your site?
I’m a mover and a shaker, always on the go, always looking to the future and putting myself ahead of the curve, the next big thing, bleeding edge. J’s Notes is also headquartered about three hundred miles off the east coast, putting it one time zone [...]
Jericho asks:
why do i miss you so much?
*sob sob weep*
It’s kinda hard not to miss me, me being so awesome and all. I’m also horrible about keeping in touch with pals, so it’s all on me and I apologize. You’re also on the wrong side of the country, man. Go east, young man!
Kids, stay tuned [...]
Kat asked a couple. Starters:
What would be a good, possible major for a smart child who enjoys riding and swimming (but not competitively), music, anime, science, robotics, reading, and travel? IOW, do you know of any universities which offer a degree in Eclectic Studies?
The University of Life. It’s a little cheaper and while there [...]
Riley asked a couple, too.
First, PIRATES!:
What’s the deal with all these pirates running around hijacking ships?
What’s next? A comeback for scurvey?
Actually, this is just the resurgance of a dork facination with pirates going global. Next we’ll see ninjas totally flipping out and killing people and maybe a couple zombies or robots for good measure.
Next, [...]
Mikey wonders:
What was the most awesome thing you’ve seen today?
While there’s plenty of day to go, so far it’d have to be this:
Greg asks:
Is there any truth to the rumor you’re considering a run against Del. McClellan?
Greg, where on earth did you get that idea?

Crystal Clear Conservative has a couple sports questions.
Football:
Do you truly think the Redskins are bound to lose for the next three games or will there be a win streak that will help us to get into the wild card?
I think the Skins have a good chance to go at least 2-1 over the next three [...]
Rick comes in late with this one:
What is the most deeply purple state in the USA?
Deeply purple? That’s a tough one. I’d say every state is a shade of purple if we’re going to go colors as no one state is entirely Democratic or Republican. Sure some states are a deeper shade of red or [...]
