- The opening to Saturday Night Live featured a great bit by Al Gore.
- Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there, and to all the folks who have a mom.
- Searching for pics of Dad the other night, I found tons of loose photos all over the place. Note to self: Buy a photo album.
- So, CA looks like it's throwing out the High School Exit Exam. I guess the translation there is "Dumb kids get to graduate, too." The big losers here are the ~10% of CA kids who can't pass the test, but get socially moved on through the system. Many of these kids will end up in the penal system, because they won't be employable.
- What does the latest tax cut really mean to you? Read here. Lots of folks on TV and in print lambasting the tax cut extension. But if the tax cuts expired, it would result in a pretty big tax hike for investors. Other than Phil Angelides, does anybody else like tax hikes?
- White House dismisses call for talks with Iran. You know, I think Iran is hell-bent on getting nukes, and whether we sit down and yak with them over chips and salsa won't make much of a difference. They're trying to stall and drag this out. But I don't know about you, I'm not that excited by the prospects of another front in the Middle East.
- Look, I liked Chris Daughtry. But he just wasn't mainstream pop enough for the TV show. He'll be fine. Honest.
- A hot mover on the search engines is the USA National Bikini Team. Hey, maybe we can send them over to negotiate with Iran! They'll think they've died and gone to heaven!
