I thought it was an odd choice of song, and the full band made it sound too full. Not bad though.
Larry the Cable Guy stole the show with the line about the woman so ugly “the Elephant Man would throw a telethon for her.”
Making a long story longer
I'm kind enough not to bore you with this stuff in person.

Your schedule for the rest of the week:
For you Bon Jovi fans out there, they will be performing on the Tonight Show this evening.
For Nick and me, Neko Case will be performing on the Tonight Show on Thursday.
Whilst perusing Wretchard’s thoughts on the current state of Iraq
Philip Bobbitt argued in his book, the Shield of Achilles, that Napoleon’s strategic revolution consisted in fielding armies so large that any sovereign who opposed him would, in matching the size of his force, be compelled to wager the entire State, and not simply a wedge of territory in confronting him. Napoleon’s campaigns were designed to kill enemy armies — and thereby enemy states. What Napoleon failed to realize in his 1812 campaign against Russia was that the Tsarist state was so primitive that the destruction of its army simply did not mean the corresponding demise of its state. Like the proverbial dinosaur of pulp fiction, Russia had no central nervous system to destroy and lumbered on, like the bullet-riddled monster of horror stories, impervious to the Grand Armee. What Russia had on its side was chaos as epitomized by its savage winters.
Saddamite Iraq, like most terrorist-supporting states threatening the world today, are like the landscape of 1812 in that they were cauldrons of anarchy given a semblance of shape by fragile, yet brutal shroud-like states.
Most of what I’ve read actually suggests that Napoleon’s brilliance was in organization of his armies, not his actual command or tactics. In Russia, he was captured by not seeing a qualitative difference between Russia and the rest of Europe. Unlike the Nazi Germany, (who did see Russia accurately, but bungled the strategy) the problem was that he did not conceive of Russia properly.

Springsteen to cover the songs that Pete Seeger kept alive, but didn’t write? Strange.
I just posted the photos I took on Saturday night. The goal of the project is to capture pictures of people silhouetted against interesting backgrounds. These turned out a bit noirish but on the whole I like them. Definitely too much foreground lighting for good silhouettes though.
I’ve often wondered why we don’t have simple home medical testing kits for the most common problems one is likely to have. Just do a simple blood or urine sample at home once a month, and then send it off to be analyzed for the 15 most common (or cheapest to test for) illnesses and you’re much more likely to catch something early. I would imagine legal liabilities are the likely culprit.
It would seem that they’re doing something like this in Japan.
I predict that this will be a condition of health insurance in the future.
Take a look at some shots from an underground pot farm in Tennessee. They have blast doors, escape hatches, secret entrances, you name it. As CrimeProf (where I saw it) put it “the technology is of batman-villain quality”.
And all of this is from America’s stoners! Take that rest of world!
He passed away in Franklin TN on Wednesday. Here is the UPI obit.
I finally got around to pulling the aquarium photos off of the camera, and I’m quite impressed with many of them. It wasn’t possible to use the flash, but some of them turned out quite nicely. I decided not to use Flickr for this, but rather to put them in their own gallery.
