Jack Bauer For President

The title has nothing to do with the post, but it sounds snappy. I like snappy.

My new column is up. Hats off to New York and California for providing me with such great material.

Jill Abramson coulnd't be more right. Katie Couric is heading to CBS to be the first woman to anchor the CBS Evening News. Jill asks, "when will we stop saying 'first woman to ___?'" If equality is what we all strive for, why keep placing a label on people? And it's a TV show, for christ's sake! I wonder who will be the first woman to win the gold in men's diving? Labels will continue to be used as a crutch for those who desire special rights for their race/religion/gender. What ever happened to judging someone on their character, record, and talent?

A long list of Couric's bias can be found here with a bunch of video clips. Remembering Rather and Mapes, I'm sure she'll fit in nicely over at CBS.

Pretend you're the VP and take shots at the administration here.

I think the Bush-haters are substituting this for pornography. Definitely, check it out. A school teacher showed it to her middle-school class. Classy.

I became violently ill the other day when I read of Apple's move to allow users to boot up Windows on its Intel machines. This may be a good business move, but I'm still feeling a bit queasy. But, I guess I can finally play that Microsoft solitaire game on my mac...

Could we please stop with the immigration debate? The idealist inside me takes Frist's proposal, but the realist sides with McCain and George Will. I bashfully wave my white flag of amnesty. Perhaps this is a good time to repeal the minimum wage too. Once again, I'm probably expecting too much.

Oh, and have a great Iraqi Liberation Day.
