So, after umpteen weeks on the fiction bestseller list, The Da Vinci Code has got some Christians up in arms. Our "liberal media" is snapping this up. The author of 'Breaking The Da Vinci Code,' said on national TV that he was concered that readers were going to read Dan Brown's work and think it's historical truth, even though it's a work of fiction. Fiction. Yes, and the world was created in 7 days. Watching these people on TV is a little like watching grown people have an argument about the true color of the Easter Bunny.

Okay, so something nasty happened with the comment code for the last post. I think I've got it nailed now.

Ahh, several days and I'm just basking in the glory of my new, comment-enabled blog. I'm redolent with commenty goodness.

Seriously people, it's not that I'm a lazy blogger (I am, but that's not at at issue today) it's mostly that I'm so freaking busy I am literally drowning in patients this month. Good for business, bad for free time.

Thanks to a particularly slow week at the legal mill (that's you, Matt), and , We now have comments! If I did this right.

It seems all the morning news shows have been putting some breaved family member of some 9-11 victim every single day. Nearly every sentence coming out of their mouths begins with "if." The last one I just saw actually blamed the Clinton administration. This is such typical "lazy american" behavior. Dissecting the past, looking for fingers to point. The outrage can't possibly be helped by the abrupt death of our smugness. Let's face it, we all thought we were unassailable prior to the attacks.

We're going to spend a huge amount of energy fruitlessly trying to undo the past while we prod the beast even more by blowing up Iraqis. I mean, we might as well change our flag to a logo that depicts the Koran with a steaming pile of dogshit on it. Well, I shouldn't complain- any bad press for Bush is good press.

Coming up: How to bitch about having the lowest gas prices in the world.

Oh, there's the outrage.

It's been years, but finally we have people on TV disagreeing with W and his administration. It was heartening to hear some of the commission members sounding incredulous that the administration couldn't predict the attacks in NYC and DC. Although, to be honest, I'd prefer there be some action on an issue that could conceivably make a difference now. Complaining about the tragic deaths of people that are dead and gone may make their families feel better, but we're still in a hostile nation under false pretenses. Maybe in a few years, after we've been chased out of Vietn- er- Iraq, someone will have the balls to get on TV and say we shouldn't have gone in.
