What's News?

"After 99 Days, Bush Uses News Conference to Test Winds." That's the headline. I thought it was test the waters. But what do I know. I've never written for the New York Times. So he addressed the nation, and..."Among the things the president has going for him is that he's still the president," said former Senator Bob Kerrey of Nebraska.

I suggest checking out the slide show on the page below. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/28/nyregion/28taxi.html?hp\

From Craig's List: $2300 / 2br - Lots Of Space in North Park Slope! Near train/ park/shopping/---Near Erica Sattin and Sarah Erlinder's "dream apartment"---way more than you can pay/:)---look into living in the Gowanus Redevlopment Zone!!!!!!!

This weekend the new Will Ferrell movie, Kicking and Screaming, comes out. Anyone? Here's the tagline: "All his life Phil Weston has dreamed of being on a winning team. Phil... your time has come."

Ten years ago, another movie called Kicking and Screaming was in the theatres. As it was written and directed by a man named Baumbach, it's much more my speed. The plot: "Following graduation, a handful of college students do nothing and talk about it wittily. "

What Else Do You Have to Do the major motion picture would be somewhat similar. I think the plot would be outlined as follows: "Following graduation, a handful of college studets (who are no longer college students because it is following graduation-duh) do a lot and blog about it wittily." I think the the title is still available. The closest thing would probably be the 1992 Iranian film,"Digeh che khabar," which translates to mean "What Else is New?"

No, you don't work for the New York Times, and maybe you never will, as I don't think you would ever be guilty of writing the following:

"[President Bush's press conference was] an effort to show that he could still do what he has always done in the face of storms around him: make his own weather."

Who says that. Really.
