Here’s another one for "odd timing." Or, it just might be an indirect request for assistance. Okay, to Bob and Ray’s “Slow Talkers of America,” add three weeks of near constant rain, and what do you get? By a 6-3 decision the Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld Oregon's assisted-suicide law. All things considered, I was just now coincidentally thinking the exact same thing.
Here, allow me to expand a bit on the backdrop. It’s been slow... and “Dank” (that’s the right word). ’06 has started with all things thick, both weather and people. We’re in the “January doldrums” and not a lot is moving. I take that back, there’s movement but no progress, per se. The Existential Gravity hangs at about 8.7 on a scale of 10. The DOW is still at about 10,500. An insurgent killed 6 more Marines. And the topper: Kelly Clarkson Refuses to Let "American Idol" Use Her Songs. We seem to swim parallel to progress to avoid the post tsunami undertow... and “sameness” gets punctuated by sheer insanity.
