I'm just sayin' . . .

Not to incite all the conspiracy theorists or anything, but doesn't it seem a little convenient that Mexico (a country that is expecting a revolt against the government because it's doing a craptastic job) has this huge outbreak of a virus?  And that, from one eyewitness report in Mexico City, the hospitals aren't even taking care of the sick people properly?  All of this seems a little hinky to me. Was the measles "outbreak" that we had here just a warmup?  Okay, everyone, make sure to get all of the 150 government suggested vaccines up to date! 

Dearest Hilary:  You can't prove that all the weapons in the Mexican drug wars are from the US, so hush.

Dearest Barry:  Our country is not "arrogant".  We just happen to think that we live in the best place on the planet.  You can hush as well.

Is it December 2012, yet? 

Good job, Johnny Hop!

In an apparent effort to reinforce the 'branding' of JHU, the school asked Hopkins Symphony if we would please start calling ourselves JOHNS Hopkins Symphony.  You know, to prevent everyone from thinking we are sponsored by Sir Anthony Hopkins, or to prevent the NFL from suing us just in case they thought we belonged to Wes Hopkins.  Uh, yeah.  The website was already "jhso" anyway.  I think we should have held out for free parking, but as it stands we all get a 150% raise and 2x mileage reimbursement. (Don't get your hopes up, unemployed musicians, it's a volunteer orchestra.)

I swear the media isn't liberal!

Not that I like when it happens, nor do I like hearing about it, but when is the last time you heard how many people died in the war today?  It just hit me this morning that now the top stories are what kind of dog the president got.

On a lighter note, I now have a vacation to look forward to.  Thanks to the help of http://www.bringfido.com,  Jeff and Jake and myself are heading down to Myrtle Beach in 32 days (not that I'm counting).  Hopefully it will be nice, and we can show Jake the ocean. 

Back to work kiddies.  The Army is testing ordnance again today so I've got enough distractions. :)
