Superman is Dead
It's close to 2 a.m. Monday morning as I type this, and about this time last week I had to pick my jaw up from the floor after reading the initial unconfirmed reports that Christopher Reeve had died.

While out with the guys last night somebody happened to bring up Sept. 11th and, and the individual opined that the CIA and President Bush knew what was going to happen and when and how, yet let thousands of people die anyway because it suited Bush's political purpose. My jaw hit the floor.

Pets, Too Many Books, and Other Tales
I trust you survived Christmas; while I get less and less loot as I get closer to 30 (not necessarily a bad thing) I still had a good time and hope you did as well. I know a trio of animals who certainly had a good time - my mother's cats, and a friend's dog.

Why TV Ratings Are Way, Way Down, and a Sad High School Reunion
Recently I read an article about low TV ratings this season - apparently they're lower than ever and the major networks and advertisers are in a state of complete terror. All they can do is scratch their heads and say, "How can this be? We've spent a ton of money on new shows and the required hype to throw them in the face of a public that can probably be entertained by shiny objects, what is going on here?"
