If a guy is looking for one more excuse to hate his cable company, he finds in his internet connection which has been working -- at best -- five minutes each hour for three or four days.

On the other hand, the audio/video sewer pipe works fine, so he can see Halloween, Part 13 if he wants. And a thrilling documentary on ancient aliens inventing Roller Derby on the large asteroid which smashed into our planet, triggering the extinction of sentient life. 

It's Mediacom, in case you're interested.

Charlie Crist, the Florida guy who wants to be a Senator, told a CNBC chatterer this morning he wants to go to Washington to help folks with "Alzheimer's, heart disease, and diabetes."

So we presume he doesn't give a sweet rat's fart about our brothers and sisters with, tuberculosis, pellagra, beri-beri, scurvy, male pattern baldness, acne, or the heartbreak of psoriasis.

Sounds damned discriminatory if you ask me.

McGee has lost both Greta and his own confidence in his feelings:

"We are all at the mercy of the script writers, directors, and actors in cinema and television. Man is a herd creature, social and imitative. We learn the outward manifestations of inner stress, patterning reaction to what we have learned. And because the the visible ways we react are so often borrowed, we wonder about the truth of what is happening underneath. Do I really feel pain, grief, shock loss?"
