Jere’s YouTube pick of the day: Andy Griffith vs. Patriot Act

This has been a banner day for songs stuck in my head. First it was Ricky Martin. Then the theme song from “Charles in Charge,” followed by the Macarena. Finally, the Spice Girls. If there’s an area of research that I want funded in this country, it’s to find the part of the brain responsible for having a song stuck in it, and develop a procedure which disables it without harming the rest of the brain. Now that’s something we should spend our tax dollars on. Seriously, I wonder how much productivity is lost by people distracting others by singing or humming these horribly catchy songs.

This is a post I started a few months ago, but for some reason, I never published it. Enjoy.

Apparently Odie was on a plane sitting next to a guy who’s job was making those little tags at the end of teabags. He then prayed that the plane wouldn’t crash.

I thought that was a good course of action. I mean, if the plane crashed, and that guy died, how would people pull their teabags out of their tea? Or know what flavor tea they were drinking?

Of course, Odie just didn’t want his last conversation on Earth to be with the guy who makes the little tags at the end of teabags.

This is what Fahrenheit 9/11 could have been. Eugene Jarecki solicits interviews from a retired NYPD cop who lost a son in 9/11, retired CIA and Pentagon officials, a prospective Army soldier, descendants of Eisenhower, a defense contractor, a neo-con think tank member, Senator John McCain, and historians for an objective piece on the role of the military in US policy making. Despite the inclusion of dissenting views, the result is ultimately more convincing than 9/11. It’s a must watch for all of you concerned-with-the-state-of-the-world types.
