Dumb

No end to the stupidity.

Like this will ever stop a crazy fucker intent on mass murder and suicide.

We're running out of band-aids.

Cold Truth

This piece by Greg Kaufmann tells it like it is.

I haven't had Internet service recently, except for brief trials on the local wireless.  Won't have regular service until next month.

The free trial is held hostage by ads, so I lose a lot of my posts in the resulting hassle.

Thus my posts will be few and sporadic until then.

It's okay, I'm watching a lot of DVD stuff and catching up on some reading.

I just feel sorry for y'all, not getting your usual dose of RBP!

WTF?

Colorado is stomping my Ducks tonight.

A pathetic exhibition with the PAC title on the line.  I just don't get it.  How can a team play this poorly with everything to play for?

Next they have to play in Salt Lake against the Utes Saturday morning.

The Ducks didn't show up tonight in Boulder.

Packing it in?

I didn't have a television for years and didn't see The Wire when it first appeared eleven seasons ago!  I recently took the time to gather up the DVD sets at the library, so I'm just getting caught up on this David Simon creation.

I'm into the fortieth hour of this dynamic series.

I'd like to claim that I was doing something more productive with my time than watching television last decade, but I can't honestly say I was.

I was in school, but hell, students watch TV don't they?

I missed out on this just as I have missed out on so much else in my lifetime.  I'm not really a TV guy, but every once in awhile I get the bug.

It recently happened with Mad Men as well.

The writing and acting in both series are top-notch.

There was never anything this good on the telly back in the day, before I gave up on the big three networks.  NYPD Blue may have came close, but even that wasn't this raw and bold.  Network television had the commercial breaks, too, which I deplored.

So something has finally impressed me.

This will be interesting to watch.

And for something completely different.

Artis and Dotson to Play!

It looks as though my Ducks will have their two best freshmen ballers for this weekend's road trip.  That is good news, as winning in the PAC on the road is no gimme these days.

Their chore:  to beat Colorado and Utah and win at least a share of the PAC title.

Fallows

In 2002 James Fallows of the Atlantic Monthly attempted to explain what might happen if the U.S. started a war against Iraq.

He now admits he was somewhat taken in by the rush to war and gave the war hawks too much leeway in his analysis of their plans (or non-plans as it happened).
