Personal Note
To the movie reviewer at Maxim who asserted Tenacious D’s new movie will be the “best musical epic ever,” I have only two words to say:
Blues Brothers.

Breaking Bonaduce uses a Tonic backtrack in the most recent episode, called “Soldier’s Daughter,” which is an interesting little juxtaposition of meaning for Gretchen’s life, despite them not using any of the lyrics.
In other news, I am neurologically incapable of typing the word “daughter” correctly the first time.
Probably a fusion of being back on the developer wagon again and reading Slashdot, but I had a thought:
One of Linux’s major problems is backwards compatibility. So, imagine we asked the following question of the entire community:
“If we froze Linux 2.6-current, GCC 4.1-current, GLibc-current, autotools, and a few other critical things with binary compatibility, what features must be added or fixed for you to be happy with that platform for two years?”
Call it the Linux Standard Platform 1.0. Package it as a single unit and pressure developers to support it.
Despite not being out at Day 0, Mario Galaxy boasts 2 player cooperative gameplay, which is so inconceivably weird and appealing it must be good.
I just saw a more extended preview of The Fountain and literally shook at a micro level from neck to upper leg.
I think Coldplay has stolen at least one song from those Fruit of the Lomb singers.
Super Monkey Ball, obvious EZ-E-caliber jokes aside, may well be a prime target for Yuletide goodness, redundantly come this Christmas.
George W. Bush is an ISTJ.
Glad to see Rummy (who inauspiciously shares my type, INTJ) hit the road.
So, Saddam gets death. That’s fine, that’s expected.
People who know anything, and I’m not talking about people with news running all day, know that this was a fait d’accompli.
Now there’s an accusation that the timing of this was rigged for the benefit of the elections. I’m not chucking this out: it could have happened. We really have no way to know.
But, I’m looking at the strategy here. Two major possibilities post-verdict:
I don’t see an “extreme positive” out there for rushing this before elections. Maybe there would be dancing in the streets, but I seriously doubt it.
As for me, I would advise saving my conspiracy theories for strategies that promise a pretty dramatic upside. Otherwise, why bother?
