I know Colin Powell is part of the Evil Empire, but he’s the one I think has the most chance at redemption. As an example of his potential for coolness, he’s posing with a black cat for Friday the Thirteenth. I don’t have a photo of the kitty yet, but it’s a Bombay named Colin Powell.

To counter all this negative information I’ve been feeding on lately, I’ve just decided to alternate ranty entries with goofy/wacky/uplifting entries. The first one is an “eccentric menu”:http://www.kottke.org/04/08/shopsins-menu courtesy of “Boing Boing”:http://www.boingboing.net/2004/08/09/eccentric_dinermenu_.html. (I wonder if Ben counts as a fifth person?)

The new Stephen Spielberg / Tom Hanks film “The Terminal”:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362227/, as strange as it may seem, is based on “an actual person”:http://www.snopes.com/travel/airline/airport.htm living at Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris.

I have no response to this.

Those wacky English folks! Some of them are so introverted, you can’t even tell if they’re here…. or gone (And their families aren’t much help either)!
