The Beatles' BBC Sessions CD reveals that as a live band, they could cook with the best of them. Dudes were TIGHT.

The Band is really, really, really good. But no band has ever been, and likely will never be, better than the Beatles.

I rate it a bit higher than Dunkin' Donuts. Going to a coffee place that is neither is generally inconvenient for me.

I don't need an icon to tell me to go to Starbucks, but I also don't think going to Starbucks in an inherently immoral act.

Questioning, questioning and more questioning, I think - classic police interrogation methods. Asking again and again, so as to sort the truth from the misinformation the suspect will try to put out. It takes skill and patience. Purple nurples are against the Geneva Convention.

Even douchebags are entitled to due process. Part of due process is having a defense lawyer or lawyers.And torture has never been proven to be a reliable method of extracting useful information, I understand. So why use something that's ineffective and morally repugnant to boot? The only possible answer is sadism.

I'm sure it will be good, but it will be awfully hard to top the original.

That's in the spring, mostly. To get the sap to run, it has to be above freezing in the day, and below at night, I am told. Glad you liked the pics!

UN headquarters being in New York means access is granted to people who normally would not be allowed into the country. Castro, Arafat and Guevara have all stopped in in the past.

I'm going to Albuquerque in October for me and my mom's birthdays. (Her 60th, my 40th.) New Mexico is nice in fall - not really colorful, but warm and sunny usually.

I attribute the recent uptick of Bicentennial quarters appearing in my pocket change to broke people cannibalizing their coin collections.

A guy at our class reunion was wearing an outfit that reminded me of this album cover.

That'll be a good game, probably.

Do Pitts. and NE meet in the regular season this year?

After Iraq, I don't blame any country for trying to nuke up.

I bought a really smashing reggae mix CD at Starbucks on Saturday.

A friend of mine is friends with Nels.

I dunno. I am not terribly optimistic that the Iranians, or their Arab neighbors, are ever going to have a great deal of sympathy for the Jews.

Yeah, we should sit him down for a screening of Schindler's List.

Thank you.

I would define my outrage as strategic, thanks, and coming from a member of the human race. I can't believe that any person of good will would challenge the facticity of the Holocaust - they're either evil or crazy - and to say that the Jews are the only people who protest Holocaust denials is just plain wrong.

I would have headlined the story "Any Last Words?"

Washington. Humber will be pitching against someone from the Nats.
