Random thoughts
OK, I've been really inactive lately so I wanted to do some housekeeping here.
First of all, I believe today marks day 100 of Bush term 2. By all measures, he's done a pretty shitty job these last 100 days. Social Security? Not exactly going the way he planned (despite the funded-by-your-tax-dollars 60 states 60 days PR fest, about which I could say SO much more but I won't). The whole girlfriend in a coma thing was sort of a disaster too. And then there's his boy DeLay's problems. And, according to the Pentagon, the insurgency in Iraq is just as powerful and motivated as ever - oops! Congress has an approval rating in the mid-30s and Chimpy himself is below 50%. And oh yeah! North Korea has nukular weapons. Yay!
And despite this, the populace has not risen in disgust and flushed them all out DC on a wave of vomit. Go figure. 2006, y'all. Get local. Imagine the joy of a Democratic congress.
Next - I am at a new job these days which is totally exhausting - mostly due to the hours. It's actually much more interesting than your average shitty temp job, but it is still a shitty temp job. So I might be a little out of the blogging loop.
Also - Mac OSX Tiger - released yesterday. I don't have a copy because I am a. poor and b. not sure my old ibook will run it (I've read contradictory reports). But Dave, if you're out there, tell me how it is!
And lastly, Veronica Mars. It always comes back to this with me, I know. I cannot say strongly enough that this is the best damn show on TV. And maybe the best show in a long time. We're talking Twin Peaks level here. Freaks & Geeks (although totally different). It's that good. There are only two episodes left in the season but that's no reason not to get hooked. Also, it will be in reruns all summer and is coming back for season 2 next year! This is big news because, as with all things I love (see F&G) it is wildly unpopular and always comes in last in the ratings. It is your job - yes, you! to watch and love.
That is all for now.

Congress, as a historical fact, has low approval ratings.
You have just been spinned by the right wing of america.
Enjoy it.
