I can't focus. The ongoing "fury" of the referees from the Super Bowl continues... looks like it's not just Seattle-ites that are pissed about it - I've heard that the media has picked up the story and reported enough about it that the NFL plans to have a statement. Guys? Don't do it. Unless you're going to make the whole game a do-over or have uncovered that the refs have been bought - a la the 1919 White Sox and from Tommy's research, it should be a cheap buy - nothing, and I mean nothing, you say can help the situation. "Bad calls? That's football!" is not going to help matters any. Just shut up and wait for Super Bowl XLI and make sure it never happens again.

And what the fuck, Pittsburgh? You won the game and you burn your own city? In celebratation? What the hell is wrong with you people? You yellow pants wearing jackasses. Grow up.

Then there's the cartoon thing. That shows no sign of going away quietly... the radical and militant Muslims have grabbed hold of it now and are helping to spin it out of control. Attacking governments over what independent newspapers print will only end in chaos and bloodshed. It's only a matter of time until we get sucked into it. People should be kissing Bush's hairy bean bag for once - if he keeps his sights on local issues, he can't bumble it, and that's a wonderful blessing in this debacle. Yesterday I read a story on Reuters about one of the protests that had a lot of "Death to America" signs flying... Um, they know that we're not in this debacle, right? Our state department be out there with that message, I think.

Yep: no focus whatsoever.
