oh yeah, i almost forgot
so i set up my tv for the first time in many years yesterday. roy was over and i cooked some food, so it seemed a reasonable thing to do. i am a little concerned about the distraction it may pose in the future, but that's not the point of this entry
i was flipping through the channels today (i have this "satellite" service provided by the apartment complex which has all of like 12 channels, including an odd mix of cable channels) and something amazing happened
- i flipped on c-span and it actually wasn't boring (for a few minutes anyway)
- i caught a portion of (former) president clinton giving a talk (on current events in the middle east) and answering questions, and i actually thought he made some respectable comments
these were two things i never expected would happen. just goes to show that surprises lurk everywhere! =)

Oh yeah. Lest anyone think that my (indirect) Clinton (semi-)bash means that I think highly of Bush's rhetoric, I should make clear this is not the case. Not in the slightest.
It's impressive when anyone in government speaks sensibly (even for just a full sentence), but _especially_ so when it deals with the Middle East and our government's relation to it. Anyway, peace.
