Some quick thoughts

A couple of quick thoughts that ran through my brain today:

- i've noticed several people driving around town with personalized/vanity license plates that have religious themes. When I see them, I think that it is not only great that they believe in God in varying forms (the majority are Christian oriented), but also it's really impressive that they display their faith that openly in a society that shies away from doing that, even from the anonymity of a car. However, if the driver of the car I noticed this morning is reading this, please do not include me or others on the road in your apparent plan to meet Him as soon as possible. You passed me like I was standing still ( i was moving at ~75 mph) and zipped across 3 lanes of traffic for your exit. Love Thy Neighbor, man; don't kill us because you're late for work!

- Saw today that George Clooney is criticizing Democrats for being afraid to speak up before the War started. I started reading his rant and began to think that maybe we were finally going to hear something ever-so-slightly intelligent and/or logical come from his mouth unscripted. Oops. I can admit when I'm wrong. By the end of his tirade, it's apparent he's riding the Oscar wave and willing to speak up when it essentially doen't matter. Real big of you to get aggressive when there is no one going toe to toe with you and no outcome from your "brave, against the grain" rhetoric. Just another person making loud noise. I wonder if he was against the first Iraq campaign. Seems he didn't mind that conflict when profiting from it. Somehow I doubt he refused a paycheck, even though that would be profiting from a war he didn't believe in...

- Heard a really awesome quote on last Friday's episode of Numb3rs, and I goofed and deleted the show from Tivo before rewinding to hear it again to commit to memory. The 2 professors were arguing about the validity of using a psychic to help solve crimes, and Charlie (the math guy) was steadfast in refusing to acknowledge it as a form of "science". Larry (as usual very well played by Peter McNichol) responded with something to the effect of: "To refuse to accept a different approach as valid and logical and discount it entirely based on your own perceptions ...that's not science. It's Politics". That was the gist, anyways. If anyone can remember how it was worded, please let me know!
