Looks like I'm through watching TV for awhile now. With no Friend's, no Fraiser, and all reality TV all hours. At least now I have an excuse not to watch television. Quote from MSNBC And Frasier bade farewell to his radio audience via a Tennyson quote: %u201CIt may be that the gulfs will wash us down; It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles, And see the great Achilles whom we knew.

I've gotten a few emails over the Stick it to them day that is supposed to take place on May 19th. It's a great idea, but it doesn't go far enough. If you really want to hurt the oil companies, don't drive your car at all on the 19th. All you do by not purchasing on the 19th yet still drive is delay the money flow into the oil company's pockets.

Went for a ride tonight. Great stuff, huh? The Northland in Kansas City is really great for cycling. There's a multitude of empty country roads where you can pedal to your heart's content.

Feedster has an interesting service available for politics. They have several categories available, including Libertarian which doesn't have a single entry.
