I'm sorry, I can't take you seriously...

Dear Restless Leg Syndrome Pharmaceutical company,

I think you need to get a new name. I can't seem to take you seriously enough. And what kind of symptom is this: "do you feel the need to move?" I believe we all feel the need to move. Are you trying to make your product as universal as kleenex?

Anyway, anything you could do to enhance your credibility would be welcome. Otherwise, I keep having this image of a goofy looking guy with bulging eyes and legs that move in some perpetual, cartoon-like jig.

Incidentally, do you have something for Annoying Boss Syndrome? Or maybe "Stuck Behind Jackass in Traffic Syndrome"?

Thanks,

I want my news back!

Help! CNN has been hijacked by idiotic Anna Nicole Smith coverage.

Yes, I feel sorry for her. But speculating on her cause of death and what will become of her child is not the subject of national news. It's just not.

I was working out in the gym today for my lunch break, and I ended up doing it too early in the day. My choices of shows were:
1. Soap Operas
2. Something vapid on the Travel channel
3. CNN
4. Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee. She was doing something creepy with hashbrowns. I couldn't watch.

So, I thought CNN would be my savior. No. It was laden with newsless news about ANS's death. They were down to interviewing people who happened to be at the emergency room at the hospital where she was taken.

I'm very sad to hear of her passing, and may she find a better, peaceful place. Furthermore, may her young daughter be well taken care of and loved, and not the product of some evil nasty traumatic court battle.

Other than that, who gives a f***? Especially when they don't know the cause of death, they don't know anything, and if the only benefit of this coverage was to notify her estranged family...

Wine Club Notes

Roshambo Winery's 2005 Carignane, aka "The Rat".

I enjoyed this wine. It had a very light flavor, relative to the Merlots or Cabernet Sauvignons. It's on the fruitier side of red wines. I'd definitely get it again.

Ooooh, burn.

In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress.
