the waning weekend

now playing: dan fogelberg, "to the morning"


a couple of things today, from the new york times:


quotation of the day:

"Let me tell you something important. As long as my country is under occupation, I feel that my vote means nothing."
WALID MUHAMMAD, the imam of a major Sunni mosque in Iraq.


also, a nice little chiding editorial on american idol as well.


today, we got our contestants for this years' superbowl - it'll be the eagles versus the patriots, both of whom won their respective championship games by healthy margins.

today, though, we also lost johnny carson. it doesn't seem that long ago that we said goodbye to rodney dangerfield, and now johnny's gone.

we won't see their likes again. i mean, seriously, who could ever hope to replace carson? leno has failed, letterman has his own trip...and everyone else whos' been placed in such a position has essentially used carson's template and hasn't contributed anything original to the fray.

oh, before i forget - Coalition Of The Willing, 2003-2005. R.I.P.

i guess that if they're coming clean about abandoning their search for WMD, then why keep on beating that particular horse, huh?

anyway, here's some more scary shit...enjoy. oh, and a great play-by-play counterpoint on the Idiot-In-Chief's inaugural speech.


i've been enjoying the downtime and the relative quiet of being snowed in for the weekend...and don't really feel terribly opinionated at the moment. i'm sure that by tomorrow, i'll be back to my old, long-winded self.


enjoy the weather.
