Slow News Friday

Today's News:

Absolutely nothing to report. The Middle East is still doing that honeymoon thing ('cept in Lebanon, bad things, bad things...). Bush got a new Intelligence Czar. Bout' time, doncha think? Brad and Jen are still kaput. Bombs still doing their killing thing in 'Raq. No, it's a slow news day. Definitely. Good thing it's Friday.

So, y'all have might heard about the Gates in Central Park. An artist put up these big orange gates all along the walkway in the park. There's been a lot of 'discussion' about the artistic merit of the exhibit, but nobody is doubting the financial merit. Tourist's wallets are FLOCKING to the park in droves (no actual tourists have been sighted, but the wallets luv Christo). I'm hoping to see the orange crush next week, and will report back in if I get a chance. Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, already the knock-offs have started.

And one last thing, in Wednesday's post, I might have inadvertently offended the RIO reviewers and that's the last thing I intended, part of the problem of posting in the morning before the brain is all fired up. Anyway, it's not like I've got ten thousand angry death threats from RIO reviewers (didn't get any from the right-wing homosexual contingent, either, BTW), but Deborah was really nice (and she said she was tired, too!), so just giving a shout-out to Deborah and the nice ladies of Rio for their work. Brava!
