Just A Little Bit of History Repeating
By no means do I support our government's decision to invade Iraq, but it's really interesting to read newspaper accounts of postwar Germany and note some of the striking similarities between the past and present. Go here or here to see what I mean. I think it's a good reminder that peace and stability are not achieved overnight. But it would have been nice if someone in the Bush administration had done a little historical research when drawing up the invasion plans. My mom was a kid living in Germany during that occupation. I should ask her what her memories are of that time.
Unwatched programs are starting to pile up on my TiVo. I read an amusing article about people who are beginning to resent their TiVos because it represents one more list of tasks to complete in an overtasked world. One guy was skipping the gym so he could keep up with recordings of Dawson's Creek repeats. Okay, I don't know what's more pathetic, the fact that this guy is too dumb to remember why he bought a TiVo or the fact that he admits watching Dawson's Creek.
Extra credit to those of you who can identify the singer quoted in the title for this entry.
