- Sorry, Mark, I got your note just a few hours ago. No, my mind is intact, which in fact is the reason for my (Somewhat) belated response. I apparently have limits as regards how much sheer idiocy I will deal with, after all, which got crossed. I don’t know how many will understand that motivation in this context, but I really don’t much care, either. Mostly, that’s because I’m not convinced I or anyone else can do much for it. They figure they can live in isolation, apparently. The world simply doesn’t work that way.
- Jonah’s new book is number 1 on Amazon. [1]Good going, Jonah.
- BBCT to Glenn [2], who notes Roger Simon asking if the New Media will destroy Hollywood [3]. I dunno… Hollywood seems to be doing a pretty fair job without the help.
- Supposed to get really cold here this weekend…. the cold is currently north and west of us, whence it’ll come.
[4] Zero seems likely, following a fair snowstorm. I’m more worried about the wind chills, which will run to 40 below. I guess that trip I wanted to take is out of the question. - So, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is ticked George Bush sent him a “message of confrontation.” [5]If I’m you, Mahmoud, I’m damned glad the message wasn’t delivered by a flock of B-52’s. A message like that can ruin your whole weekend.
- Tax breaks for the economy. Bush has it right [6]. And you know the numbers he’s pushing blows anything the Democrats are pushing out of the water?
- So Sarah Michelle Gellar thinks Americans are ‘Gluttonous’. [7]This from somebody who when they turn sideways, all but disappears. Eat a sandwich, Honey.
- I see US magazine is breathlessly reporting that AP is working on a Britney Spears Obit. So says MSNBC [8], anyway.Well, it’s not unusual, first off, for them to do so. Anyone remember Reagan’s Obit showing up a few months early? Bob Hope, too. Then again, they were over age 80. I suppose their making such preparation now, this early, is as strong a damnation of what she’s been doing to herself as anyone could devise.
Addendum: (David L)
The light hearted, cold is good, at least for one weekend. The Winterfest [9] is this weekend. While it went off last year with sixty degree temperatures, cold is better.
Not so light, three words to a Britney Spears obituary: Anna Nichole Smith [10]. Britney makes the late Vickie Lynn Marshall seem sane by comparison.
Heavy, as in bombers, BUFF’s, a.k.a. B-52H [11], a.k.a. Stratofortress, For the record, the second F in BUFF does not stand for Fellow. A full flock of BUFF’s today would be forty-four birds I suspect any heavy delivery of iron bombs would fall to the Bones, B-1B [12].. We could muster up about eighty of those.
