Too much to think about this morning. Never liked Ed McMahon. Never owned a Jack Michaelson album. Never had the Farrah poster. That Governor of South Carolina must be thanking his luck stars for short news cycle and Google's limitations as must be the Senators of New York. It's odd how we associate with celebrity, the true claims to fame in these cases. Liza (clearly verklempt) was just interviewed on CBS news from her bedside telephone. The moment of the day so far for me. People on TV are saying "We will go on" - I'm sure we will. Murder She Wrote went on (and on), didn't it?
- Google on trial. Why not?
- Of all the powers, the awesome powers are the best.
- Anti-Nazi blow darts.
- I have clearly not been paying sufficient attention to Vladimir Putin. "Why do your sausages cost 240 rubles? Do you call that normal?" Putin asked. "But they're good quality sausages..." Dyn-o-mote
- 528 visits yesterday to my post at A Good Beer Blog about the passing of Michael Jackson, the beer writer.
On the run again today. Too much of that. Need to be on the sofa more. That would be good. Nice to see Saturday looming.

Putin's antics are sometimes awesome.
I'd have been voting for him. (Though I still worry about all those journalists disappearing and turning up dead. That's not normal. Normal for Russia, perhaps, but not for us.)

I have never met anyone who didn't like Ed McMahon.
Come on Alan, not even a teensy bit? An Iota?

What amazes me about Harper, sorry amongst the things that amaze me about Harper, is that he knows the CPC is going to lose at some point: why not set things up to be better when his party is in opposition?

You asking me? Me? I think he has as much simmering "deep in the onion layers of personal character" contempt for the Conservative Party as he has for the Courts and Parliament, for socialists and other citizens, for pretty much anything that isn't him yet knows in his heart that he also really has nothing much to offer so also has the Woody Allen side that he wouldn't want to join a club that would have him as a member.
