Snippets

Some quick thoughts about things I haven't commented on, things that aren't worthy of a full post or things that interest me that I'm too lazy to write about:

Cindy Sheehan is everywhere. I feel she is entitled to her opinion. Her opinion does not mean more than any other parent of a wounded or killed soldier from Iraq. I do not feel Bush should meet with her again. I feel she is perfectly within her rights to protest in Texas. Its kind of like Hollywood syndrome...actors have opinions too, they just don't mean anything more than anyone else's...its just a bigger stage.

As Andrew Sullivan notes, its definitely on. If you enjoy your political punditry with an aristocratic accent, don't miss this one.

My prayers go out to people down south...New Orleans, Alabama, etc. I just can't comprehend worrying about the complete destruction of your home say, once every ten years. Mind boggling.

To echo a thought heard all over the northeastern US for the past week or so...I'M SO DONE WITH SUMMER. P.S. can't wait for football. Oh, T.O....your jackassery brings me so much joy.

I know I'll take a lot of heat for this, but I've been watching (and enjoying) CurrentTV. I find it really interesting and the little 'pods' of stories they do to be perfect. Sometimes its a bit silly, but I really like it. I have DirecTV (channel 366) so I dont know if anyone else gets it.
