Dammit! And stop drinking the kool-aid.

Yahoo! just took it upon itself to delete everything in my inbox. So if you've sent me and Email and are wondering why I haven't responded, that's why. How damn annoying. I had a bunch of Emails in there too.

I had another LOST comment I thought of: if Richard Alpert does turn out to be an ancient Egyptian, wouldn't that totally explain the eyeliner? Ha! It would!

Still quite congested and coughsome. Slowly getting better though.

Went to IHOP for lunch (spinach omelette) with a former co-worker. She's a nice lady, the kind that has a zillion stories to tell. I'm off today since I have to work tomorrow. Plan is to take a short nap and get up and get some writing done. I may even be able to get some writing done at work tomorrow too. Depends on whether or not we're busy.

Wanted to get my hands on Season Five of The Practice. That is, of course, the season that features William Hinks. Michael Emerson won his first Emmy for playing that role; and he was superb. Anyway, no luck yet. Maybe I'll check out Hulu.

My plan to read less news and political crap is not going to well. Ignorant people will insist on drawing me into arguments I can't believe I'm having in contemporary America. For the point of clearness, here are a few facts:

1. Other than the fact that he is charismatic and leading a country through dark times, Obama is not like Hitler. If you think he is, you are a fucking idiot.

2. Gay marriage is not hurting The Family, our values, or our children. The assertion that gays should instead marry people of the opposite gender is ludicrous and nonsensical and in fact WOULD be an affront to marriage.

3. Islam is no more violent or repressive than Christianity, historically. To imply that Islam is wicked and evil and that Christianity is great and good is a product of being either grossly uninformed or a hypocrite of the highest order.

4. It is not weakness to show manners and respect toward foreign leaders.

5. It is not Un-American to imply that America has shown arrogance. If you honestly don't see how we have been arrogant as a nation, you are part of the problem.

I haven't seen it yet. I kinda hit or miss with Maher.
His opinions on women are...not so good.

Hmm, I didn't know that. Or I conveniently forgot. He actually comes across all right on that topic in this film, the little that we're mentioned.

Maybe he's chilled out a bit. His old stand-up used to be quite sexist. It's a drag too, because I agree with his stance on a lot of things.

He might have chilled. How could he not, having Roseanne on his show so often?
