Musings

A thought occurred to me the other night:

I don’t think I could ever be a Third World dictator.

The amount of discipline one must maintain in order to run a country with an iron fist is far too daunting. Plus, I’m not enough of a control freak, nor am I overly concerned with germs.

And the hair! Take Kim Jung Il, for instance. Has anyone informed Lyle Lovett that someone has stolen his signature coiff, let alone a megalomaniacal Third World dictator?

And now for something completely different…

Not that anyone’s asking, but it’s been a hectic 3 months. Been busy, but thought that it might be nice to start the blog entries back up again. Hopefully the frequency will be far higher than it has been inn times past.

Al Gore: Upper Class Senator’s Son Twit of the Year

The man’s gall amazes me. Yesterday, Gore went so far as to state that the Bush administration ignored 9/11 warnings and chastised the FBI for spending more time on a New Orleans brothel than on tracking al Qaeda.

Wonder whose fault this is? Who had control of the Justice Dept. when the reforms were put in place? Who helped neuter our intelligence community?

I can’t believe the temerity, nay, even bald-faced insolence of this Washington-born flim-flammer. If anyone gets taken in again by him, I’ll eat my hat.

On the bright side, at least he’s doing his utmost to ensure that he won’t be the Dems candidate in ‘aught four.

Starcraft: Ghost Announced at TGS

Blizzard announced Starcraft: Ghost at the Tokyo Game Show today. A console-only action title, it marks a radical departure for Blizzard. And, they stress, it’s not Starcraft 2.

w00t!

UPDATE: ShackNews has shots. Looks slick.

Greek Gaming Idiocy Continues

Just when you thought sanity had regained its hold on the gov’t of Greece, a court of appeals overturned an earlier ruling that threw out charges against the operators of an internet cafe. They were on trial for letting patrons play Counterstrike and (heavens no!) online chess games.

This story gets increasingly bizzare, not to mention stupid, with each passing day/further ruling.

It’s Just Art, Right?

The NY Post reports that the hideous scultpure of a naked female WTC “jumper” on the moment of impact has been removed from Rockefeller Center. There has been some animosity expressed by the average New Yorker, and who can really blame them?

I also wonder why I haven’t seen more media coverage of this monstrosity. I’ve seen it mentioned on Fox News and Curtis & Kooby were talking about it on WABC this morning, but other than that, where’s the outrage?

UPDATE: Here’s an earlier story detailing the statue itself (I’m still looking for a picture to link to…).
