Five thoughts for Friday.

I have no ethical obligations preventing me from introducing as much bias or opinion as I want into my blog. I think I'd find that would be pretty sad. Espcially since the media industry is only pretending not to have any biases.

1. Congratulations to Oscar Arias, elected President of Costa Rica once again after a 20 year hiatus. If you haven't been paying attention, there seems to be a very quiet democratic revolution going on in Latin America.

2. This Cheney shooting thing. Way too much hot air. Except for the guy that was shot, this was a non-issue. Don't let it distract you from what's really going on.

3. The Olympic's are good to watch once every four years, but the TV coverage blows. Watch it with the volume turned down.

4. I think there were about 3.5 billion people on Earth when I was born. We're supposed to pass the 6.5 billion mark sometime this Saturday. Where the hell did you all come from?

5. I haven't seen most of the Oscar nominees, but one of my recent favorites was the Motorcyle Diaries. Maybe this movie made it last year, I don't really follow these things. See Che before he became Che.
