Notes I am sorry that I have not had more to write lately. I have not had too much of a chance; things have been busy. But beyond that, I have been dealing with a bizarre form of writers block, that which results from having so much you want to say, time only to say some of it, and having to select what it is you will use your time to say.

I want to write something about global warming, or rather, Global Warming: a new, fully conclusive study on the subject; Gore getting nominated for 2 Oscars for An Inconvenient Truth; the near-certainty that it will be a key issue in the 2008 campaign.

I also want to comment on the kamikaze mission of George W Bush. How, having just read an amazing book on the mentality and psychology of Japanese tokko (kamikaze) pilots at the end of WWII, I cannot help but think of the similarities between that senseless quest for honor and this new one.

And then, there is the Negro Bowl. Actually, I don't need to write anything about that. Deadspin said it best:

The hype around two African-American head coaches going to the Super Bowl has been impressive and appropriately reverent. I bet the first two white guys who coached in plain-jane Super Bowl I (no Caucasian research-links during Negro Bowl) are wishing their people endured three hundred years of ostensible and institutionalized oppression so they could bask in this multicultural media afterglow. Now this is what racism is supposed to be about! Good people of good character doing good things; plus they're black!

Also, for those in NYC, get ready to get your brrrr on.

So, anyway, be on the lookout for that Global Warming thing. And, also, I will leave you with something scary, more frightening that even the worst nightmare of nightmares. It is Dick Cheney's Delusion (courtesy CNN and their ace newsman, Wolf Blitzer):
