wii

I was fortunate enough to purchase a Wii and the extra remote and nunchuk controller along with Call of Duty 3.
The sports game that is included with the Wii console is beyond any other video game experience and should be played by any and all gamers.
What a long wait for the new console, but with the new intuitive controller and sensor bar this one was definitely worth the wait and the $249 price.

Rung out Rummy

Rummy's handed his hat. After all the criticisms and all the speculation, the administration uses the old "scapegoat" tactic to distance itself from policy that was never popular but was approved by all in the current administration.
I wonder if the Dems will make any real progress on domestic and foreign policy come January when they take their seats?
So it goes.

Vote

So, then, to every man his chance -- to every man, regardless of his birth, his shining golden opportunity -- to every man his right to live, to work, to be himself, to become whatever his manhood and his vision can combine to make him -- this, seeker, is the promise of America.
- Thomas Wolfe

Linerider

If you haven't heard or read about this site Line Rider, just click on the link. Hours of good, clean fun for everyone.
When was the last time anything could claim that?

Sicknation

I guess we live in a nation of sick people.
With the amount of new school shootings and now the Amish school attack. I always wonder why the shooter or shooters just don't shoot themselves in the privacy of their own home before they go on a rampage? That is their final intent, to put a bullet through their own skull, so just prioritize the day in reverse order.
So it goes.

Reputation, whatever

Well it seems like the moral high ground is not so high after all.
To coerce or not to coerce that is the question.
Can anyone be labeled an "enemy combatant" and sent to Guantanamo indefinitely?
So it goes.

Holy Moses

Okay, so the Pope said something offensive, then he apologized.
Was it correct for the folks offended to react violently?
How many times should he apologize for his statement?
Maybe the offended persons should write an apology for him to read back to them so as to be clear about how his apology should be worded.
So it goes.

stay the course

Wow, with Tony Blair's statement of resignation I wonder if the Administration will continue with it's "stay the course" thinking?
Will the new PM continue in the same path that Blair has found unpopular?
I'm sure time will tell.

Shays shuffle

It never amazes me what the suits in Washington will do to get re-elected.
Case in point Rep. Christopher Shays (R-Conn.) long time backer of the War and now conveniently calling for a timetable for withdrawal.
Is it acceptable to call him a waffler now, or a flip-flopper or whatever the opposition would like to label him?
It is too bad as noted in the article that his change of thought required 14 trips and 3 years to notice that the Iraq situation has not made the progress the administration was so optimistically hoping for.
So it goes.

Pluto out

Pluto not considered a planet any longer. Say it's not so.
What is amazing to me is there was an international group of astronomers debating this incredible problem.
I guess the other huge crises on this planet were secondary to Pluto and it's classification.

Earn your keep

Well it's about time these ball clubs and players earn their salaries. Fighting in baseball is just what the game needs.
That's why I enjoy Hockey.
Go Dallas Stars.

Beyond Petroleum

Isn't it ironic an oil corporation can market itself as "beyond petroleum"?
It's almost a quaint way of selling itself. Well for most of us consumers we already know BP is or was British Petroleum and their marketing and advertising geniuses thought up the catchy new way to define itself.

With the Alaskan pipeline being shutdown until who knows when, I wonder how soon America will begin looking more like Communist China where so many working class citizens are forced to drive smaller cars or worse having to ride a bicycle to work.

Exxonian Profit

How nice it must be to own shares of ExxonMobil or better yet to be one of the executives that are sowing and reaping profits out of middle America's pockets.
So it goes.

Plain Spoken

There is something good about being straight forward and plain spoken.

Listening to the media's recording of The President and Tony Blair, I have to say it is refreshing to hear The President and/or any politician being so honest about anything.

The unholy land

Wow, I can't believe it. The holy land at war. How frikkin ironic.
I wonder what Jesus would say if he were alive today? What would Gandhi say? What would Buddha say? Okay, and what would Mohammed say?

Try living in peace you sons of bitches.

Maybe we should just start calling that historical part of the world the "Unholy Land", it has a potential ring to it.
So it goes.

Snow job

"It's not really a reversal of policy."

Thank you, Mr. Snow for clarifying this complex policy addendum. I wonder what Mr. Cheney thinks about this Gitmo makeover.
So it goes.

Shooting star

Well it was probably time for the Star to go Nova or maybe the Star was simply being sucked into a Black Hole of self-aggrandizement.
Whatever the case may be, any sane person with half a brain would be certain to never cross the ever-powerful Barbara Walters.
Of course, she won't be looking for employment for long, she is a lawyer.
Ask her, she'll tell you.

Step forward

Steps forward from Corporate America? I was shocked and dismayed. It seems that there are some executives that can think outside the box and truly have some progressive ideas.
I wonder how soon Ford and Chevy are going to pull their heads out of the sand and start offering some real hybrid contenders that can compete with the Toyota Prius and the Civic hybrids? Not soon enough I'm certain.

Anntagonism

Wow the more things change the more they stay the same.
It seems that no one ever mentioned to Ms. Coulter that hate breeds hate.
There might be something in the good book about treating others as we ourselves would like to be treated but I'm not good at remembering such details.

Gay old time

Banning gay marriage. Is this really a priority concern for Americans?
It seems to me just another diversion for this administration to flex it's morality muscle.
Excuse me if I don't join in on the horror of gay people across the land wanting to get married.
I'm not sure if this really is about moral decay and the decay of family values. What is the divorce rate among man/woman marriages right now? Better than 50% I can almost bet.
How has the sacrament of marriage been stained by our (the heterosexual community's) lack of respect to such an esteemed institution.
Maybe something more radical needs to be introduced to marriage, such as a 2 or 5-year renewal of the license? This way the divorce rate will no longer tarnish what our exceedingly wise leaders consider such a holy union.
