It's just past 10, and it's time for bed. Fatherhood has put an utter and final end to New Year's Eve.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

NY Times Letter

I will always post my letters to the editor of the Times. Here's today's. (For what it's worth, I have had 2 letters published so far)
-----------------------------------

Dear Editor:

The front page of the Dec. 28 paper struck a nerve with me. Above the fold there was continuing coverage of the crisis in the wake of the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. Below the fold was the story about giddy Wall Streeters and the return of their massive year end bonuses. The bonus for Goldman Sachs' COO was $4.5 million MORE than the entire United States government initially pledged for the earthquake relief effort.

I am flabbergasted that our government's initial response to one of the greatest natural disasters in my lifetime is less than a Wall St. Christmas bonus. There is something seriously wrong with the picture this paints about us as a society and a people.

Question about childrens fashion

I noticed recently that many of my daughter's trousers contain pockets.

What does a 5 month old use pockets for?

Down, boy...

Everybody over at one of my favorite blogs, Eschaton, is freaking out about this weird pause in Bush's press conference the other day.

Look, I dislike this president as much as anybody, but, c'mon, this is nothing. We've got way better shit to hang this guy with. We look like a bunch of conspiracy freaks peddling this.

Here is the link to the video. Judge for yourself.

ALLRIGHT - THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!!!!

Doing a little Christmas shoppping today I wandered into J&R's DVD store. Among series 2 & 3 of Starsky & Hutch, Northern Exposure, The Office, SCTV, etc, was this:

Too Close for Comfort: The Complete First Season.
But it least it starred Jm J. Bullock, the best character on tv since Larry on Three's Company

This country really is going straight to hell.
