A collection of thoughts and asides about life. And if I think of anything that needs to be mocked, it will show up here.
"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."
--Bertrand Russell
Shortly after Katie Couric plugged an upcoming segment that would talk of the apparently staged interview Bush had with some troops in Iraq, the Today Show cut to correspondent Michelle Kosinski in New Jersey covering the floods. She started her report sitting in a blue canoe explaining how deep the water was. Then two men walked by. In front of her. A couple of feet in front of her.
So, Katie. Explain to me how staging a news story is bad, again?

Hypocrisy on both counts... but it isn't the first time the cowboy's been caught. So I'll laugh at the anchor and give the pres the finger.
