MAYBE THIS TIME BARRIS WILL USE MORE THAN A GONG
According to a story in Zen Entertainment (http://zentertainment.com/article.php?sid=3D6840=20), there's a chance The Gong Show will return. I say give Barris a gun instead of a gong. Now THAT'S reality TV worth watching!

WRONG ISRAELI
We send all the wrong people into space. Today's space shuttle mission sent the first Israeli astronaut into space on another mission to continue building the International Space Station.
While this is all wonderful, I can't help thinking that it would be much better if we put Ariel Sharon and Yasser Arafat up into space, and didn't let them down until they'd come to an agreement they and their people could both live with. I've got to think after a few weeks of nothing but freeze-dried ice cream and lima beans, world peace would be much closer at hand.
While we're at it, how about sending up Saddam Hussein and Kim Il Jong?
Once more, we spend money the wrong way...

MY PROMISE FOR A NEW YEAR
This is no time to be talking about resolutions. Particularly since other people might be reading them. Imagine the embarrassment when I discuss that I resolve not to eat Big Macs anymore.
But, one of my resolutions is to post to this... well, frequently. Daily would be insane. Let's view it like a column... maybe posts three times a week, say Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
That's presuming this gets posted. My December 20 systems check apparently hadn't posted.
Anyway, I'll write to you three times a week; you can e-mail me whenever you like something I've said. That's, of course, mikeflynn@dbug.org. And if I knew how to HTML, that would be a link. But it ain't.
