Now that football is gone for a while, one of the better things on Sundays is I get back to listening to Harry Shearer on "Le Show". Really good music today, like this:

"(Everytime I Turn Around) Back In Love"/LTD



And his news of the "greenest Olympics" in Sochi was really funny today. The best tidbit:

Perhaps Sochi's biggest challenge will come from the heavens: It's another temperate maritime city like Vancouver, where snow had to be trucked and airlifted in for the ski events in 2010, and adequate snow cover will be a challenge. As a climate scientist said last year, "I rolled my eyes when they picked a city on the Black Sea," said Simon Donner. "I'm pretty certain it never snows in the city. They grow palm trees there."

Meal of Links

BAFTAs or Grammys? I actually leaned more towards the BAFTAs tonight. Those winners are here. With Best Film handed out by Samuel L.!

BTW, Detroit has a significant indie movie presence. I applaud Cinemark for filling the void locally when a trip to the Cedar Lee is out of the question.

Top 7 destinations after 10 p.m. Good suggestions.

Prison economics. Fish and coffee are now king. I did not know cigarettes are banned in federal pens.

This Is Cool



Exercise Yard

Weird hockey stuff, including Ovie Christ. And this is choice:

Ovie. Russian Spy?



Visitor

None, on a thawed-out Sunday.

Sounds like JMK is just mad that Justin Bieber didn't win.
