Random Friday Musings...

I just got a letter from donut jelly Adam, who is in Paris right now. He sent me a postcard confirming that "eye contact is the universal language." I'm wondering if he hooked up with someone over there and played with his... baguette...

A number of stations across the country declined to show Saving Private Ryan yesterday because they were concerned about being fined by the FCC. The station in Phoenix was one of the stations that ended up showing Hoosiers instead. That's a pretty sad statement about our the current political environment. I think I'll go watch Saving Ryan's Privates instead. I can't think of a better way of protesting censorship than by watching gay porn.

And from the BBC: "Officials in a south Russian city are to impose restrictions on discos and attempt to "educate" DJs in an effort to improve public morality... From now on, only music which is considered to be of a moral nature can be played... Recommended works include folk music, Russian and western classics. Disc jockeys must have completed secondary education and they must know Russia's law on culture. Special courses will be organised to help DJs improve their qualifications." Oh my. Note to self-- cancel my gig in Belgorod...
