How refreshing that 82% of Americans can actually agree on something. Namely that Congress should have stayed the hell out of the Schiavo case. This whole debacle has shown us that the Republicans cater to the “Religious Right” far too much, and the Democrats haven’t the guts to state an opinion.

Wouldn’t this be a nice time for a third party? And no, I’m not talking about any of the existing ones.

First it was the TWINKIES Project, then it was Peep Research. Now for something much less soft and mushy, the SOLAR DEATH RAY. What do you want to melt?

Terri Schiavo’s husband is her next of kin. That should be all that matters. Yet it seems as though many of our Congresspeople have conveniently forgotten all about that “sanctity of marriage” bologna they’ve been yapping about since before the election.

Merely an observation.

Andre Agassi and Roger Federer play tennis at a rather perilous altitude.

As someone on Fark.com said, you have to have a lot of balls to play there.

_{It’s a double-entendre, y’see? Ahh, just click the link already.}

Apparently, the phrase “please leave some length in the back” now means “please leave no part of the back of my neck unexposed, indeed shave off everything below the midpoint of my ears.”

At least he at last vanquished the extreme part I had been developing which was turning into a completely unnecessary comb-over.

and farewell.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead is FINALLY, 15 years after its theatrical release, coming to DVD.

Nobody I ever shared this movie with liked it. Hell, Roger Ebert gave it zero stars, a fact which has always made me question his critical eye.

It will just have to be my own guilty pleasure, then. So there.

I’ve come out of my blogging hibernation just long enough to bring you: Jokes With Einstein

Spoilers:

Just saw the second part of Enterprise’s fourth-season opener. Although the plot details are mostly different, I’d say there’s a striking similarity between this two-parter and the little script I offered up back in June.

• Trip points to bullet holes in the shuttlecraft as evidence.
  
• Weird time crap happens.
  
• Daniels says goodbye, forever.
  
• Enterprise ends up in orbit of Earth, ready to do something, anything else.
  

I mean, am I wrong here? The only thing I didn’t call was Silik kicking the bucket.

Manny, no need to send the twenty bucks I asked for. You’ve done a fine job positioning this series for interesting things to happen. You have a great challenge ahead. Make this good.

One day in and the US Supreme Court has already made a couple of nice decisions. They’re not going to reconsider the legality of the do-not-call list. Sorry, telemarketers! They’re also not going to reconsider the case of former Alabama Supreme Court Doofus Roy Moore, and his big rock. (Can’t find a link for that at the moment, but I know I heard it on the radio a little bit ago.)

Two high fives to the Big Nine!
