Daily Rant

Long time since posting.

I just read the following from Yahoo!

In an Associated Press interview, Mrs. Bush also endorsed sexual abstinence programs for teens, which are slated to get double their current funding under the president's latest budget proposal.

Sounds a bit like the Junior Sex League in 1984

Not that I'm a conspiracy type, but you have to admit, Eric Blair knew the tendencies of government.

Worked on 'Stray Cat Strut' last night, easy to play, fun to sing, definitely including it in the set list. Backed off on Paganini again, damn that song is hard, but I still want to play it.

The world now knows that Jessica Simpson has absolutely no talent. Her Sugar Bowl Star Spangled Banner is the worst I've ever heard. Christ, I do better in the shower.

First day back from vacation. Productive, but missing vacation.

In response to the common interview question of "If you could throw a dinner party for ten people, who would they be?"

Today, my answer would be:

Albert Einstein
Isaac Newton
Nicolo Paganini
Dorothy Parker
Winston Churchill
Heronimus Bosch
Thomas Edison
Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier
My Mother
My Brother

It's funny how much more of the music you hear when you are using headphones.

I've been watching The Price Is Right for the first time in years. Bob Barkers still doing good, but missing a couple of details every now and then (lowest bid, Clock Game 'Higher Lower' missed once). The new announcer is nowhere near as good as Johnny Olsen or Rod Roddy.

The number of commercials targeted to the older demographic is huge. Every commercial has some statement saying 'We'll fill out the Medicare paperwork for you.'
