Here's one for the refrigerator door
Caring About Accounting: There is an old saying in politics, "Once
they
start laughing at you, you are cooked," or some such truism. That now
applies
to Enron, the latest, largest nonstarter in the winter political scandal
sweepstakes. For those who like to stay informed but must budget their
brain
space and ask, "Is it worth my time to get up to speed on Enron?"
Dave Barry has taken the work out of it.
This column alone should be enough.
More Clarity: Charles Krauthammer's
summation of W's SOTU speech
is the
most
concise we have found so far.
Amazing how the president they called "stupid cowboy" who can't speak
properly and fumphers the English language makes himself so well
understood.
Please Pass The Wings: We think of Super Bowl Sunday in terms of
food as
many do so
here's a bluffer's guide
to help you out if you can't watch the W
way. We happen to like a man who watches football alone and makes couch
potato coach observations to his dog.
Bore in Four: Please, no......we are begging 'ya. Someone stop Al
Gore.
These stories that he may run again fills one with such ennui. Could we
stand
the brown clothes, the flapping arms, the global warming drone or worse,
another lip lock?
Someone put him in a lock box
before we snooze again.
Must Read: Here is where to find the next installment in
the riveting Washington Post series
on the aftermath of September 11 with links provided
to previous articles.
This series may tax your old printer but you'll be glad to did it.
Not So Dumb, Our Enemy: Throw another log on the Legacy fire. This
LA Times
report shows that while Clinton was tacking Heimlich maneuver posters under
his desk to rescue interns, Al Qaeda operatives were
huddled in their caves
studying the now famously ignored 2000 GAO report on the big holes in our
security. Is it any surprise they started with our airports?
Axis of Egos? Someone must have moved Howard Rosenberg's Alpo. There
has
seldom been a more
vicious piece written about CNN
than his offering here in
the LA Times. We thought we didn't like the cable network because of their
adoration of anything Clinton but these ravings are way beyond our sniping.
Fun read nonetheless.
TV Notes: Madeleine Albright showed up on the Today Show this
morning
looking like an angry hen with a disapproving frown throughout the entire
sit-down with Matt Lauer. She's not happy with Bush's Axis of Evil
pronouncement and pointed out that Iran, Korea and
Iraq are all "very different places." Thanks, Madeleine.
Have A Super-Buffalo Wings-Texas Chili-Jalapeno Cheese Dipping Thousand
Pints
of Lite Weekend and don't forget Osama wished America "a choking death."
Don't let the terrorists win.
