Volleyed and returned

1) The press has pretty anointed the 2008 race has Rudy vs. Hillary and I'm pretty sick of it already. At least I hope the Democrats are saving all of the video clips of Rudy's comments as he courts the radical right of his party.

2) Did you happen to catch environmentalist author Bjorn Lomborg on Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday? Sounds like you have some views in common on the topic.

3) Name calling and broad-brush distortion in politics? I'm shocked to discover there's gambling in this establishment!

4) I still pick up the Daily News maybe 4 out of 5 mornings, but most of my reading is off the Web.

5) No comment.

6) Sad to say I didn't have a personal soundtrack this summer.
