What to write about?

I have a backlog of blogs I've been wanting to write. My 2 or 3 readers can vote on which one comes next [in order of how likely I am to do it before we leave for Montana on the 24th]:

1. The chimp video game study fraud
2. Review of The World Without Us by Alan Weisman [5 stars]
3. The demise of the clovis megafaunal extinction theory and discussion of the carolina bays
4. Review of 1491 by Charles C. Mann [2.5 stars]
5. Review of Resistance by Barry Lopez [4.5 stars]
6. The first Global Warming data
7. Explaination of why I used to think I was a socialist but was wrong
8. A review of the Pinker/Bloom language evolution paper

Anybody out there have an itching to hear any one of these? I've been dying to jump into any one of these, so just let me know...

I'll take 7, I guess. I can only assume you thought you were a socialist because you have never lived in a socialist country, but I could be wrong. You don't have the tolerance or proper mindset for functionary socialism. That, for those not familiar with my made-up term that I've never used before, refers to socialism that is primarily governed by the functionary over the elected or appointed. It's possible that Sweden and Japan are exceptions that prove the rule, but it depends who you talk to. But I'm hungry enough that I want to stop talk about functionaries and talk instead about the great steak I had on my anniversary.

It was great.

OK, then.
