He don’t give a hoot of warning
Wrapped up in a black cat cloak
He don’t go in the light of the morning
He split the time the cock’rel crows

The Rolling Stones, “Midnight Rambler”

While we wait for me to open up the voting, try your hand at losing real money by betting on the Oscars. It’s up to you to decide, but sites such as today’s link help distill the common wisdom of the bookie.

I’m already giving you prizes with no purchase necessary. I’m not gonna throw good money away on foolish choices. Then again, Heath Ledger winning best supporting actor is a lock, and you can take that to the bank.

Paul Krugman, I link to him almost weekly, hits it out of the park
again. He excoriates the "centrists" of the Senate who doomed the
stimulus bill to almost comical mediocrity. I just wish he named names.
Collins (ME) *cough* Nelson (NE) *cough* Fools the both of them. Fools
for believing them.Obama's turn to the middle is terribly misguided. If I wanted some
centrist ideology in my president, then I would've voted for Mrs.
Clinton. There's nothing to gain in inviting Republicans to sing
Kumbaya with you. They're busy sharpening their knives. You dance with
them and you'll have a shiv in your back. The centrists are the ones
playing the dance music.The shrill one is back. Damn right, Paul. Damn right.http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/09/opinion/09krugman.html?partner=permali

I almost forgot. Feb 7, 2009 was supposed to be the launch of the SDF-1. Until the space aliens, Zentradi, showed up and stopped that from happening.

Here’s to all that! Here’s to Lisa Hayes/Misa Hayase, Rick Hunter/Hikaru Ichiyo, Max Sterling/Jenius, Commander Gloval, Roy Fokker, and Lynn Minmay.

Deculture!
