Patriots and the Killers -- plus Iraq!

First, let's start by congratulating the New England Patriots on the 20-3 victory over the Indianapolis Colts today, 20-3. Peyton Manning is a great quarterback, and some year, he should get a Super Bowl ring. Just not this year. Kudos to Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, Charlie Weis, Romeo Crennel, Corey Dillon, Rodney Harrison, Tedy Bruschi, and all the rest.. Go Pats!

A recent writer called me on excluding The Killers from my random sample of good music in 2004. My apologies -- total oversight, since I don't have all my music with me at work. "Nobody Told Me" would make any list from last year. On the subject of the Killers, how about that performance on SNL last night? Smoldering. Rock is definitely back with a vengeance in 2005. And, apparently, eyeliner. Here's hoping that this is the second coming of Scott Weiland -- but without the (Sid) vicious addiction problems.

If you read the Sunday NYT today, can you say Iraq is ready for an election, especially since most of the candidates for the National Assembly are running anonymously? Think about that for a second -- Iraqis are voting for unnamed people to control their government. At leasst it's more overt than voting for named people who have no control over the real leadership, I guess. Plus, the polling places are being kept secret, to prevent violence. Soooo, if the elections are for anonymous candidates, held in secret places, while international observers remain in Jordan to "observe", help me out with how this is "democracy"?

Dont you really think the killers are more of an off key David Bowie, doing a slightly drunken Jim Morrison?
