I know, I know.

Zero excuses really, except I’ve been trying to work the EQ knobs on both work and life, and the “blog every day” knob got pushed down a bit.

(EQ board.  Hit.  I’m in my 40s.)

* I wanted to write a wide ranging piece about Roman Polanski, but I ended up with a tweet/fb update where I pretty much admitted I hope he spends the rest of his life in prison.  Really?  He gets to do that in his 40s, flee, and then live a life of moral and artistic superiority?  Anybody else get to do that?  It doesnt matter that his victim has been bought off, or that Hollywood wants him left alone.  There’s such a clear set of right and wrong here, it’s ridiculous.

* I wanted to tell everybody who could get the H1N1 flu shot that isn’t, that I think you’re being foolish.  ”It’s being rushed out!!!” screams your media.  Hey, guess what:  EVERY FLU SHOT IS.  Every flu shot is a mish mash of the best hope that you prevent the flu.  It’s ANNUAL, you lunatics.  I know you think the scary african american guy is going to inject nanobots to control your ever movement and take away your (guns/freedoms/religion/right-to-date-your-cousin) but that’s not the case.  Get your shot.  I don’t need your underprotected spawn wiping his or her nose on an elevator button I have to push.

* I wanted to discuss the White House’s war on Fox News, which I agree with, but I think it stupid.  The administration can’t spend 24 hours a day whining about it, and Fox News can.  Bad strategy, guys.  Institute your policy, then go into radio silence.  Yes, they are a fringe-tainted propaganda machine, but they are better at it than you.  And for proof, see… every issue you ran on.

* I wanted to discuss “Balloon Boy,” and how the kid barfing on Larry King reminded me of Stan throwing up on his girlfriend on “South Park,” and how his parents, Jon and Kate, and the Octomom should all be shoved in the same rickety car and sent careening over Mulholland Drive.

* I wanted to point out that John McCain’s “Internet Freedom Act” is anything but, and what he wants to do the internet and the bill being called “The Internet Freedom Act” is like his time as a prisoner of war being called “The North Korean Five Star Hotel Act.”   Wanting to allow AT&T and Verizon to set the throttle on internet speed is like letting Roman Polanski watch your daughter.

* I wanted to announce how happy I was Brett Favre lost, threw his arm so many times it should be spaghetti next week, and in his final play Sunday ate turf.    But I have deeper reasons for not liking the guy, and I wanted to go into it.  But suffice to say, if he gets his whiny face handed to him Sunday, I will be breaking out the good stuff.

A lot of stuff I wanted to say.

But mostly, I wanted to say I’ve been working.  And, I have to prioritize.  So, probably until November 7th, I’ll probably do a series of these “I wanted to say” posts:  Quick little updates of stuff I found amusing, annoying, and blog worthy – but didn’t have the time to rage out an entire post about it.

And then, when the comments fly on Facebook or here, jump in.
