Do two things and you'll get back to finding Colbert sexy in no time. (Why you'd want to do something like that is an issue in and of itself, by the way) But the first thing you should do is rerun your tape. Yes, rerun you're rerun and that will allow symmetry to your perspective. The second thing is to look at the intellectual weight you've brought to the issue. Under those circumstances your wires were bound to get crossed.

Everything's fine. Don't worry about it.

Now, notice I didn't mention that this whole thing implies issues YOU may have of approaching sixty. Those fears would be totally unfounded, in fact they always are. By the time someone is aprroaching the age of arthritis and diapers, if they haven't a clue as to whether they're sexy taking time to wonder is a waste, OK?

This is simply an issue of not being in the right mood for an event important to you. For crying out loud, Jane Fonda was hot during "On Golden Pond." The problem, therefore, must lie with you and it's simply a problem of not being prepared due to other responsibilities.

Rerun the tape this weekend at the actual broadcast time.

Rerun the tape when you've got the time, you see?

I'm sending you a bill!

I knew someone close to Tony was going to die because of his lifestyle (not a friend but a life long bond like Christopher) but I didn't expect it to occur with three episodes left.

Actually, the writers are holding to script and that's a bad thing. First, they let Tony get his ass kicked by the show's biggest wimp, now this. I hope they don't end by giving me some melodrama that he and Carmela will live happily ever after when all is said and done, but that's where this thing is headed. It's our own fault too. How can the writers really leave Sopranos on note that's truly artistic when we'd beat them over the head if they don't debase the medium they operate in.

After all, we reveled in William Hung for over a year!

Now we want the Soprano's to be a shining light of metaphyisics. It ain't gonna happen. We're going to end up with the bad guys getting killed off and Tony being rescued by some symbol of innocence, e.g., A.J. overhearing a meeting Tony has that's not a meeting, and, therefore showing up at the last minute.

Again, it's our own fault. These guys could have really pushed the boundary. They could have done something like have Carmela walk out on him in the end, but we swore off on that long ago. Think about it, she's not leaving him and that's the only justice for a Soprano. Tony should be seen as the American who refuses to grow up. A grotesque failure for reasons that have nothing to do with anything but never being able to be satisfied. His angst then becomes limitations he refuses to accept. But we instead have to have a hero so we'll be left with nothing less than his once again looking into the sunset. But this time he'll have hope.

What a bunch of bullshit!

Carmela will be by his side and accepting of all his faults, and we won't even recognize anymore all the horror and mayhem his life represents. We'll digest it like Oreo's. Bad for out health, but something so good to experience.

Tony should be isolated!

That's the hell most deserving of someone who only uses and uses and uses....unless they're complaining about not having enough!

Finally, the votes are in. For some time now it's been the case that you had to wait for the outcome of a Presidency led by someone clearly out of their depths, coupled with a set of "friends" who take the term opportunist to new heights. You had to wait because there hasn't been this type of incompetence in US Government before. Nowhere near it. There's been scandal and there's even been abuse of office causing an impeachment. But incompetence to the point where someone is so without skill that they've gone on to believe they must have God's blessing is not part of this country's history. Of course, all along the country has paid the price for the lack of leadership this has produced. Tragic costs for someone whose most forceful efforts come down to a comedy of errors.

After all, what is Gonzales? Not who, but what? His comments about McNulty were less than flippant, but only because he's too far gone to relate to his responsibilities. His comments were almost trancelike. The Attorney General of the US is now a Stepford Robot. Clearly he's repeatedly lied about the firings....but now he's gotten to the point that he makes statements as if they have no consequences at all. Wolfowitz's situation is even worse. For the first time we have clear evidence that his entire attitude toward the general public is one of disdain. Someone whose career has been built around real weapons of mass destruction is perhaps a sociopath. Sure, all along you assumed as much. But he hid behind the Cold War and then the War on Terror...As soon as he got away from associations with National Security, though; as soon as he could be critiqued he's found to be without any concerns except for his own.

Libby, Cheney, Rove, Pearle, Wolfowitz, Bolton, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, Tenet, Rice. Who's in charge of this thing? Can we privatize the Presidency for the next two years of his term? If you ask the President when he's in one of his reflective moods, one of his "I remember New Orleans when" moods, he just might say yes.

I bet he'd say Dog the Bounty Hunter would be a good choice.

My President is an idiot.

God help me please.
