I actually do have a rather lengthy post I am composing about politics and media bias. It’s of a more serious nature. I will get it online as soon as I finish polishing it up.

In the meantime, this guy is the front runner for my vote in 2008:

Lancelot Link is finally on DVD!!!!

I picked this up off an article on the Digg website. If you happen to have a DeLorean like the Back to the Future movies and you need parts you can go to the DeLorean Online store. If you type the word “flux” into the search field this is the result:

Cool! A Flux Capacitor! Check the part number.

I added an email link to the sidebar. I noticed that one the extra pages I have put on the site – Past Headers, TV Page links – don’t have a comment link with the entries. So, if someone has a comment about a page entry – use the email link.

As I get older I find myself watching the History Channel more and more - for the memories!

Okay, I’ve been thinking about this for a long, long time. It came to the forefront of my thoughts when I heard a former meth addict on a news interview refer to their condition as a “disease”.

Now what I’m about to say will probably go over like Mother’s Day at the orphanage….
(you’ve been warned)

Meth is an addiction resulting from a choice – not a disease.
The same goes for porn and (steady now) alcoholism.

I’m not minimizing the effects and struggles of these addictions, just railing against the politically correct definitions.

In my mind a disease is something you can “catch”. Flu is a disease, smallpox is a disease, etc. No non-drinker ever went to the doctor and was told they had caught a touch of alcoholism.

Granted, the treatments for some drug addictions might be similar to the ways you treat a real disease, but that doesn’t mean the addiction is a disease.

I guess what I’m saying is that I’m tired of people claiming they have a disease when what they have is an addiction resulting from making bad choices.

Wait a minute! Maybe I can claim I’m overweight because having a few extra pounds is the result of a disease rather than from choosing quadruple-bacon-cheese burgers, mondo-fries and Coke in syrup form rather than Lean Cuisine.

I’m standing in the checkout line at WalMart today and I glance over at the magazines. This statement on the front of one of them caught my eye:

Shrink 2″ every 6 days!

So, after about a month I can be a foot shorter?!?
