Views From The Sixth Floor, Southeast Quadrant of a Big Round Building.

It's kind of like a clip show; I couldn't come up with anything sustainable, so I'll just sort of offer observations. Feel free to skip around. Or skip completely.

You would think that with all the cable networks available, there would be some kind of programming after 1am that didn't include re-running the stuff that nobody would watch during the prime times.

I can't stomach an hour of LOCKUP, and not even a half an hour of TO CATCH A PREDATOR. The former leaves me wondering why I'm supposed to empathize with a career criminal, and the latter just provides the feeling of wanting to take a four day shower, with steel wool.

CURRENT TV is kind of interesting, but as I've said before, they have the same stories, running over and over again. I haven't actually seen but a total of 4 hours of first-run programming since the first of the year.

The Red Wings have made the playoffs again; their twentieth consecutive appearance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. It looks like they'll finish ranked either fourth or fifth...which means, they'll play whoever winds up forth or fifth. The NY Rangers have a must win against the Flyers....and it would be great to see it. If they get in, and Boston gets in...then 5 of the Original Six would be in....

My Father only really recognizes the Original Six; all the other are posers. He has a special disdain for any team west of the Mississippi. Ya gotta admire his consistency.

The Tigers managed to take their traditional opening series against the Royals.

Just heard a story of a woman who sent her adopted six year old son back to Russia, alone, on a one-way ticket, with a note saying that he was violent and had psychological problems. Lady, there isn't a punishment severe enough. Go to Hell.

Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter are -8 at the Masters, and currently hold the lead. Just in case you were wondering who was leading. They're British. And they're holding the lead. In case anybody cares who's LEADING.

I have a crush on J.J. Ramberg. Smart women always get my attention.

This just in....Liz Taylor may be getting married again. Her ninth marriage. I'm betting that THIS time, it'll work out for her.

Memo to Alaskan Republican: It's pronounced NOO-clee-ur. NOT NOO-cue-lur.

We all know that there will always be factions of Americans that relish the kind of level of debate currently being encouraged in this country. We need to raise the level of public debate in this country, and not lower the bar.

That's why I didn't call the Alaskan Rebublican a F***ING BOBBLEHEAD!

Good Day to you, Daywalkers.
