To paraphrase the L.A. times: The baby boomers have stolen the future from their children and grandchildren as they head off to retirement leaving us only with the bill for their retirement accounts.
"Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket."
If you are a LOST fan, you probably have noticed that every character on the show's father is a fairly worthless or terrible human being. I asked my friend why she thought that was and she said, "IT'S JUST LIKE REAL LIFE!!!"
I'm rooting for the SAAKASHVILI but you have to give PUTIN and his forces respect, they are fighting a very smart and very effective campaign. PUTIN doesn't fuck around, he's used the conflict to show just how powerful and unafraid of world opinion he is. I'm guessing the Poles and Czechs aren't going to be getting their missile defense after all, and most likely this will halt the eastward expansion of NATO. I hope the Russians haven't been training the Iranians, because they seem to have routed the Georgian troops easily, Geogrians trained and armed by Americans, French and Israelis.
In the last few years I have come to appreciate British TV. Here are some of my favorite shows:
Peep Show
Coupling
Spaced
Dr. Who
Hyperspace
Black Books
Mitchell and Webb Look
The IT Crowd
Can you recommend any other British shows for me to watch? I think Akemi turned me into an anglophile.

Worrying is the most natural and spontaneous of all human functions. It is time to acknowledge this, perhaps even to learn to do it better.
