Ok, some news stuff that I meant to comment on, but didn't have the copius spare time until today.
ITEM ONE
ITEM TWO
The Academy Awards -- didn't see it, didn't care to. Yes, I grant you that Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King deserved every award it won. But, this whole thing needs to be put into perspective. As if this country doesn't have more important things to worry about other than this or whether gay people can get married. Whether Bill and Fred have their marriage recognized, however I may feel about it morally, has no impact whatsoever on my ability to find a better job or start school sooner.
Robert Lamm wrote a song about the Oscars soon after 9/11.
Ah, priorities.
ITEM THREE
Haiti -- oh, Dubya, where do you draw that line?
ITEM ONE
UK 'spied on UN's Kofi Annan'Once again, the Brits are pulling the James Bond $hi+. Yet, oddly enough you don't hear about the US doing that sort of thing... because we don't, right?
British spies listened in to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan's office in the run up to the Iraq war, former UK cabinet minister Clare Short says.

Light the lights
Another love fest
For the stars tonight, tonight
Cups of gold
And empty praise
We're fabulous tonight
No reward for getting out of bed
Teaching kids and making sure they're fed
Say a prayer for the common man
Come along into the promised land
Gimme gimme gimme gimme some award
Gimme money gimme something
Gimme someplace in your hall of fame
Gimme gimme gimme gold plated statues
Of an image I can pander to
Gimme gimme gimme gimme some award
Gimme money gimme something
Gimme someplace in your hall of fame
Gimme gimme gimme soundbites of freedom
My graffiti on the sands of time
Gimme Gimme by R. Lamm
Ah, priorities.
