March 21, 2003
It is raining again. And it will rain some more this weekend. And some days will be cold. And some days will be hot. Well, at least I made it up to the floor where the court rooms are for jury duty. Then they settled the case. I wonder if they had Joel Bieber.
Ministry of Information Clear Channel
Communications
You can gripe about the political slant of NPR or Fox News [sic]. However, neither one actually organizes political rallies.

I think Elvis Costello said it best -
So, you had better do as you are told,
You better listen to the radio.

Food from the 70's
Weight watchers used to have a series of recipe cards in the 70's for people looking to "reduce".

Out of the list, my picks are – best name of recipe: Fish Balls; best photograph: Frankfurter Spectacular.
Swedish Rock from the 70's
Oh yeah, there was Swedish rock and roll before The Hives and Sahara Hotnights. While you're enjoying your Fluffy Mackarel Pudding, enjoy the mellow sounds of the Ivan Henrys. Or party on with the upbeat tunes of Yngveforssells.
