Attention: The TV show Family Guy sucks. How do I know this, since I do not watch it? Because I have been informed that in yesterday's episode Lois, the wife, desperate for collateral after she exhausted her cash, gambled away the family car in an Indian casino. Gee, a wife with a gambling problem, where have I seen that before? Oh, yeah The fucking Simpsons. If you like Family Guy, you are a tool.

In that vein: Tool, the most aptly named band since Garbage. And: Garbage, the most aptly named band since Tool. And Dylweed, Radiohead really does suck ass.

It's been an odd week, but with a little luck the end of "Retroactively Making Star Trek: Voyager Good" will be here soon. I've been watching episodes of Voyager the last few times I've been home. It hasn't been pleasant, but I believe it is important to understand why things don't work. It is important to understand how things can go so terribly wrong from the very beginning.
