While getting a haircut today, the discussion turned to heaven and would you want to be around when the horns start blowing. With my luck, I'd hear the horns, but miss where I was supposed to go, because the guy in front of me can't get his wallet out of his pants. I guess if you were living at the time of the second coming, you probably would have survived a lot in your day. But I tend to believe that heaven is something we cannot comprehend. I mean do you think you will look like yourself, and at what age? Will others recognize you? How's the bourbon stock? Are your pets there? I'm sure those things aren't important if you make it, but it would be kinda cool to get a glimpse before it happens. Assuming we're on the Up elevator.

A story that would have been fascinating if seen through to the end was the BALCO case. With the plea deals, we are left with having a good idea what happened, but not the whole story.

The Parents Television Council heard naughty words on Live 8. Yes, the Who's "CSI Song" on ABC wasn't censored. Laughably, I might add. I mean, how could the button guy not know? Others heard to be swearing around the world, oddly enough, included Snoop Dogg and Madonna.
