I don't know what to say

I watched a little bit of TV on Sunday, what with being iced in and the playoffs and all that. I saw the Governator on a Sunday morning news show and was pretty favorably impressed. He came across as humble and practical, and not (overly) ideologically driven. I might be mistaken, it was a pretty short exposure to the political man as opposed to the action hero guy that I usually avoid. Then there was football. I usually simply follow games on a peripheral level, but today I watched da Bears feed on a few stray Seahawks, then watched as a pretty good guy, Marty Schottenheimer, maintained his record of disappointing playoff season(s). Sorry coach, maybe next year. In any event, I hope that the Colts make it to the big game, then get beat.

I saw the President on 60 minutes, and I will say that it was probably the best that he has come off to the public since he has been there. It wasn't good, it was just the best of the worst showings so far. To his credit, he did not come off as an egotist, (he hid it well), and even sounded close to human as he acknowledged a few things that most folks tend not to like. It did not change my opinion of him, but it was a step forward for him as a leader. I note that the phrase "dumb motherf***er did not pass my lips" as I watched, nor did I throw anything at the TV.

Aside from that, I have nothing really to write about, though there are plenty of ideas that might take root any minute now. I have a vague feeling that things in the world are pretty much set, and all the human intervention or working for change that humanity can muster aren't going to change a thing.

How's that for an attitude?

As for your attitude, it may be apt for what awaits us.

Today on Fox News, former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) said President Bush's approach to the war in Iraq, particularly his recent speech, was "Lincolnesque."

Just when you think the bar can't be lowered any more. I wonder, how many watched faux news and thought "yeah, Lincolnesque". What a bunch of robots!!
