Weekend Update

Well, for those who are keeping track, my father is out of the hospital. He had surgery on wednesday, but I didn't talk to him until today (I seemed to keep calling while he was sleeping). Speaking of which, I just made an appointment to get my wisdom teeth removed. At one level I am kind of apprehensive, but at another level I am almost eager. I know it sounds strange, but I have never had surgery, and I have no way of synthesizing what I feel it would be like. I want the experience. How odd...

Tomorrow I need to go out and buy Al Franken's new book, "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right". Apparently Bill O'Reilly and Franken were both promoting their books on the same episode of Book TV. The episode is still available online, its a hoot. Apparently Fox sued Franken for trademark infringement, because they trademarked "Fair and Balanced." The case was flimsy, and apparently the judge ruled against Fox 8-)
