*Oh no. Militants in Lebanon shot rockets into Israel, igniting fears of an expanding conflict in the region. What is going on over there? What is Israel's plan, kill everyone?

*More on Israel and Gaza: UN and Red Cross relief has been slowed and, in some cases, stopped into the most devastated regions of Palestine. Certainly that means more lives will be lost.

*As much as I hate the Sooners, and against all the pundits, I'm picking Oklahoma in tonight's BCS national championship game. Time to watch the game!

Two Weeks

I've essentially been gone from blogging for two weeks. Interestingly enough, the world doesn't stop when I stop blogging. Go figure. Here's a quick recap about what's been happening:

*Israel is blowing a bunch of shit (and people) up over in Gaza. Ugh.

*The crazy Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich decided to appoint Roland Burris to Obama's vacant senate seat even though ole Rod is under investigation for trying to "sell" that seat for money and influence. Democratic Senators say they will refuse to seat Burris. This should be interesting.

*The Utah Utes dominated the University of Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, completing the season as the only undefeated college football program. Should we be saying, "National Champion?"

I'm sure there is more, but I'm currently distracted by the UT vs OSU Fiesta bowl match-up.
