Notes...

The Twins lost last night to the Yanks. Tough loss. We had our boot on the neck of the dynasty, and somehow kicked it off and made this a series again. This series will go five now, I don't expect the Twins to take the next two at home. The best we can hope for is a split. ..

The next debate is tomorrow night between President Bush and Senator Kerry. This is the last opportunity for both candidates to lay out their domestic policies in front of this large an audience. The ratings go way down for the last debate I believe. ..

I rented "Dogville" starring Nicole Kidman the other night. What a piece of garbage. It was one of those movies that look like plays. Hey, if I wanted to go see a play I'd pay 250$ for a bad seat at one. ..

Vice President Cheney lied (more than once, but anyway) the other night on national TV. He stated he's never said that there was a link between Iraq and 9/11. I saw the show he said it on a while back. Chris Matthews went after one of his spokespeople pretty hard with this tidbit. I like Matthews, he said that Cheney destroyed Edwards in the debate. I don't agree with him but I think he's credible with his takes...

My MP3 player is my new best friend. I've downloaded 2500 songs and I'm only at about 35% capacity. These are the coolest invention since... mmmm.... well, I don't know, a lot of things I guess.

There was a new bill introduced in congress that would make downloading copyrighted material punishable with prison time. This is absurd. It's a definite overreaction by the government to throw downloading in with crimes like rape and murder. I know judges would probably have some discretion on how it's applied, but my God. I wonder how much of this is being driven by campaign donations by the RIAA? I'll investigate and let y'all know...

I've been watching some Fox news lately. Before my liberal credentials are taken away, let me explain. They do lean to the right, there's no doubt in my mind. But, sometimes it is important to at least try to see things from a different point of view. I will definitely get most of my news from CNN or MSNBC, but it's important to watch them all and then formulate your opinion. Saying this, they do seem to want to defend Bush at every turn...

It's good to see you watching FNC. My boy is on that channel every weeknight at 7 central. But I'm with you. I try to watch the Clinton News Network (CNN) a little, but I'll be damned if I ever watch CBS news and take it seriously ever again! MSNBC is okay, but it's a little boring at times and their ratings reflect this. Although I turn to them when FNC is on commercial.
