Random things I wonder about

Why do we have to wait until 2008 for the next season of Battlestar Galactica?

Why is Guns 'n' Roses still on Geffen when there's still no sign of this mythical Chinese Democracy album? Why do they keep throwing money at Axl? Why don't they just drop the schmuck?

In all the discussion regarding Anna Nicole, why hasn't anyone asked the most important question: What was this woman famous for?

Why did it take so long for New York City to start work on that Second Avenue subway line it's needed for, like, forever?

Why is Ed, Edd, and Eddy still on the air?

Why isn't The Powerpuff Girls still on the air?

Is that just me, or is a synth-pop version of "Come On Eileen" being used for VH1's Classic Rock channel?

Why would any sick fuck poison pet food?

Why does D.C. Comics keep revising continuity?

Why does Marvel Comics do a retcon on the Scarlet Witch?

Why has Rod Stewart put out an album of 1970s radio hits? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he a big rock star back then? And aren't most of his hits up to 1975 or so leagues above most of the stuff he sings here?

Where the fuck is Aretha Franklin? Why hasn't she put out any new music in years?

Am I the only one to notice that "All You Need Is Love" nicks the opening bar of the French national anthem? What did the French have to say about this?

Who told Karl Rove he should try rapping?

Then there's also the fact that the MTA was urging people not to take the subways and opt for a bus instead, only for buses to be (A) few and far between and (B) crowded as anything. They forgot to mention "(C) fucking slow." Don't the people at the MTA feel really stupid when they say shit like this? MTA CEO Lee Sander said, "We really are sorry about the inconvenience that New Yorkers had to deal with. In terms of how it happened, we had three inches of rain in an hour. The system is designed to handle 1.5 inches." This isn't quite as appalling as last year's 9-day Queens blackout--you know, the one where Con Ed lied about the number of places without power--but it still in

We're the ones we've been waiting for, and all that

Via Blue Wave News , Van Jones' speech at the Campus Progress National Conference, which rang true to this cautiously optimistic liberal. More from Mr. Jones, via HuffPo: We are trying to build a pro-democracy movement in a country that, at least for eight years, was run by [inaudible] authoritarians. And it is not going to be easy. But I tell you, the most important thing I can say is... We feed the fearmongers. We feed the politics of division, by giving it so much attention and letting it fill up the space in our mind. We have to feed the hope. This country is an extraordinary -- I get choked up -- this is an incredible, beautiful country... That little idiot box off in the corner trying to depress you and make you feel like this is a horrible country and everybody believes evil things about the president... it is just not true.
