Yahoo! News - 'Dell Dude' Arrested on Drug Charge
Let's see, the United States is getting ready to colonize Iraq and kill scores of innocent civilians in the process, the NASA budget is about to get gutted to feed the so-called war on terror, Dubya's about to plunge the country into worse deficits than even his daddy's buddy, the Red Wings are on the winless streak of a lifetime, and this is news? Like anyone couldn't tell that guy was tokin' it up on a regular basis just by looking at him? Good gravy.
On another note, I made a point of watching Dragnet last night, and came away quite impressed. I watched enough of the original (on Nick at Nite ... sheesh, I'm not that old) to say that I think the new rendition does the original justice. This may be the first network show I'll make a point of watching since The Weakest Link. But I question ABC bringing in Ed O'Neill to do Joe Friday so closely after debuting Katey Segal in her new sitcom. I half-swear that joke about the shoes in Sunday's Dragnet was meant as a wink-wink to Married ... with Children. And why the hell not, that was one of the best series I've ever seen.
(Ever notice I tend to turn to current events and television when I don't have anything else I feel comfortable talking about? Don't worry, you'll all get something special here tomorrow. Do you know the significance of tomorrow?)
