Day 26

Ive been in sort of a somber mood of late, and I think my blog entries have illustrated that. Time for some social commentary.

I'm a little worried about the new Supreme Court Justice nominee appointed by W. Everything I have read says that this Samuel Alito character is a very conservative man. Democrats don't like it, and the Republicans, especially on the far right, are applauding it. I have talked about this in previous posts, but my main concern is that Alito will be shifting the balance of power to the right and Abortion Rights will be taken away in this country. To quote the great Mark P, I am pro-choice, but not pro-abortion. But a woman's right to choose is one of the many great things about being American - or freedoms to express ourselves and do the things we need to do in our lives to make things right for us as individuals.

Everyone who knows me knows that like my father, I watch way too much bad television. My TV picks as of right now are as follows:
The Amazing Race - this is by far the best reality show on tv. They are doing a family edition this time around and I thought it was going to be lame. It isn't.
Gray's Anatomy - best drama on tv. Ive written about this before, but it is a solid mix of humor and seriousness.
Laguna Beach - come on now, you know you love it! Nothing like rich, good looking high school seniors and college freshman and the angst. While Kristen is still the hottest, LC is by far the most improved. Anyone who saw her in the white bikini a few episodes back cannot disagree with me.
Curb Your Enthusiasm - while it isn't as good as it used to be (like anything else that gets stale), its still pretty funny.
Reunion - Only 3 episodes old, but has massive potential. We enjoy it.
The O.C. - again, getting a little kookie this year, the writing has gone downhill, but I still look forward to it every week.
Pardon The Interruption - Mr. Tony and Wilbon still keep it fresh everyday. They are the originators of this genre of tv.

Is there anyone less attractive than Camilla Parker Bowles?

Why is it that new music is so unbelievably bad? I'm not trying to sound old, but it is so true. New rock and roll is bad, new rap is worse. Pop music? forget it. And what is with Lindsay Lohan, Hillary Duff, et all trying to be singers? There are a few newer acts that are worth listening to, like Coldplay or 50 Cent for example. But these poser bands like Nickelback or Ying Yang Twins? Please. They are an insult to Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Van Morrison, Public Enemy and 2Pac.
