The Curse Lives! (That is a Sadness, not a Happiness, Exclamation Point)

So, Here's what I've learned since putting a Google new alert on "Betty White": people don't really tend to report news about Betty White. This is really weird because I assume she's having so many affairs--so many blaffairs, in fact--with cast members of That 70's Show and she's always blowing rails with Mischa Barton at that new WeHo club. But I guess Google is not that into aggregating news about Betty White. Whatever. Sergey Brin is Racist Against Olds.

Anyway, I am going to go ahead and assume that Betty White is still alive, and, yes, 'Pockets and E, this makes me happy. What makes me sad, however, is the following: On January 1st I listed my films of the decade, noting in the comments that I had snubbed Fog of War on purpose. E quibbled. A month later the film editor for Fog of War was killed by a speeding getaway car fleeing an Upper Westside bank robbery. So, there's your curse in action.

Just in case this curse is real, I will now only blog about Joe Lieberman. And Alf. Definitely Alf.  I fucking hate that guy.

Isn't it great that the tags at the bottom of this post -- Alf, Golden Girls and Republicans -- all refer to Joe Lieberman?

"E" -- Thank you for your help with the links. Those are the materials I was attempting to bring to the blog's attention.

I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our society, and I think it is safe to say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further advances, the possibility of copying our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could encounter in my lifetime.

Why are we trying to curse John Edwards? He's a fucking nobody and he couldn't be more dead -- politically, morally, emotionally -- than he is already. But okay. Whatevs.

Also, I've instituted a word verification step for comments now. Let's see if this stops the crazies.
