I saw a BMW Z4 with a license plate that read "Boomer7". Geek! Of course, I'm a geek too for being able to understand it.

I saw a vanity plate last night that read GROK. I wish I'd thought of it!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh I know. I just don't think of it as often as I should.

I did find three pairs of shoes to ebay though, so I am happy.

This is cool!

William Shatner Makes Palin's Speech Into Poetry (VIDEO)

Is Sarah Palin secretly a beat poet? Do her words make little to no sense because she is so immersed in language and lyrics that she operates on a plane we cannot grasp? We sincerely doubt it, but that was the implication last night as William Shatner appeared on the "Tonight Show" and read Sarah's resignation speech in his typical Shatner way, with all the lilting and soft drum beats we've come to expect. It was quite magical.

The more I hear about the health care bill, the more it sounds like it won't do much. If they can make some positive changes, that's better than nothing.

However, I'm getting convinced nothing will get done that will help the uninsured very much or lessen the problem of losing insurance when people get laid off. I'm also skeptical that anything that will have much of an impact on slowing down rising costs.

Personally, I'm getting pretty disappointed. Good fiscal policy has to start with health care because health care is the biggest problem. I get tired of politicians talking about fiscal responsibility and ignoring the vast majority of the federal budget. Once you get past health care, military spending, and interest on the debt, there isn't a lot left.

I saw Actual Live Original Tino about half an hour ago. He was at the orientation fair chatting up the woman from the Forestry School who had a snake in her hair.

He looked remarkably benign. Sneaky bastard.

The fact that he did look benign and calm while talking to a Gorgon is proof of... something....
