Some Things I Might've Discussed

Politics, entertainment, sports, etc.... Life continued in the U.S. in spite of my absence. Many things went by without my comment, and I'm not so narcissistic to be surprised that they all went on anyway. Still, I might've discussed any of the following:

- Mets vs. Yanks. The Yanks took two of three, much to my chagrin.

- The Nuclear Option. Left-leaning spinmeisters are claiming victory for saving the judicial filibuster, while the right claims victory with the up-and-down vote allowed one right-wing judge Priscilla Owen. For once I agree with the right. One of the lamest, most pathetic "compromises" ever. Democrats are infuriatingly weak.

- Season finales galore. I taped the ones I cared about, but haven't gotten through them all yet.

- And random quirky things that occasionally come up, like Tom Cruise freaking out on Oprah and Access Hollywood, or a friend's new obsession with the Liger.

But really, when you're in the Highlands, it's quite difficult to care about all that bullshit.
