This is what happens when I pay attention to the news...
Gordon Brown. A politician in trouble for speaking his mind and probably being right. Everyone knows someone who parrots bigoted garbage about immigrants. Sounds like that's what GB had just been forced to endure with a straight face. Nothing makes people angry like being told the truth, so this actually costs him votes in England's PM race. The story.

If, like me, you love to observe the contrast between a person with a truly unique talent for communicating through the arts and a run-of-the-mill technician, you simply must watch this. Shatner!.

While you're there you should watch this unreal, terrifying mascot dunk. Where are Bango's parents? Where is OHSA?

As one of the billions of victims of the 2000 elections, I admit to a grudge against Florida. I was heartened to learn that Florida may lose some or at least not gain as many congressional seats based on current census results. Ohio, maybe you could lose a few censi as well. Y Floriduh cant reed. If they trickle down to Minnesota, as the article suggests they might, so much the better.

"This is Alabama. We speak English. If you wanna live here, learn it." May I introduce to you Alabama's next governor, Tim James? A master of the zeitgeist. Still, why does he keep stopping the tape, moving away from the camera and then walking towards it?
And...I'm done paying attention to the news for the day.

The only one I watched (besides Shatner of course)was Tim James and it made me so angry I didn't want to watch any of the others. Why doesn't HE learn English and how are people supposed to get to their poor paying jobs cleaning bathrooms and flipping burgers in his state without their drivers licenses, to say nothing of getting to their ESL classes. And I think the thing that is also so maddening is imagining all those Alabamans out there nodding their heads and voting for him. Grr. I would like to see him dropped off in the middle of some foreign country and not be allowed anything until he can speak their language fluently.
