Just when I was contemplating a leap off the Tobin bridge over this A-Rod deal, the Sports Guy has talked me back from the edge. My favorite line:
"It's official: America has its greatest sports villains since either the Russian Hockey Team in 1980 or the Iron Sheik in the mid-'80's, depending on your perspective. They're like a cross between Cobra Kai and the Nazis in Victory -- everyone hates them now, no matter where you live. How is this a bad thing? Isn't it better that we all have something in common now?"

Ann received free tickets to an IMAX movie, Volcanoes of the Deep Sea, just for being a teach. We checked it out on Tuesday night. It was an amazing movie - we're both suckers for IMAX so we loved it. The movie is about the deep sea vents where some really strange forms of life exist, generating energy from Hydrogen Sulfide.
Anyway, there was a Q&A with the director and a couple of the scientists afterward. It turns out that because there is a scene in the movie describing the creation of the solar system and many references to evolution, theatres in the South won't show the movie. Unbelievable! We should have let them secede.

So I was watching Bush get interviewed on Meet the Press this morning, and I found it hard to believe how much he believes that he is right - that there is no possible way the world could be any different from how he sees it (or how he is told it is). This article from Slate really has a great line:
"Bush isn't Clinton. He doesn't change his mind for anything, whether it's polls or facts. And he always tells the truth about what's in his mind, whether or not what's in his mind corresponds to what's in the visible world."

Does Mitsubishi realize that another line in the Flaming Lips song "Do You Realize" that they are using for their new commercial is this:
"Do you realize - that everyone you know someday will die"
Great song, just not sure if it's what I would pick to sell a car. I guess I'm more partial to Ween in car ads.
