blame it on the satellite

Holy crap Radiohead is awesome. Yes, I know I'm like 15 years behind the times here, but "The Bends" and "OK Computer" are just ... I mean ... my head hurts from how amazing those albums are. "Pablo Honey," which I had more exposure to earlier, had a few good songs but never really did it for me. And "Kid A" and "In Rainbows" are fine, but frankly pale in comparison to OK and Bends.

Anyway, just felt like posting something random, since I haven't posted in like forever.

Also:
- LOST is the best TV show ever. If I could get stuck in a time-loop, I hope it would drop me off at January, 2010.
- The "Glee" pilot was pretty great, and inspired a nearly-debilitating nostalgia in me.
- "hysterical and useless, hysterical and let down..."

Finally, I've been thinking, as much as I sometimes feel certain people on the political right have more-or-less become caricatures of themselves (Limbaugh, Dobson, Rove, etc.), and as much as I'm sure the same is true for those on the left (I've just never identified with any of them enough before to discern the moment when they switch from crusader to cartoon), this crucial truth occurred to me, which I will try to keep in my mind as the perpetual American political circus parades around the news:

No person is every truly a caricature, and all caricatures are unfair. No exceptions.
