I slept through New Year’s (st)Rocking eve. Ann recorded it, and we both watched Jennifer Lopez sing and dance in her catsuit. Ann called it body film. I wrote the following December 31, 2005:
Happy New Year to all, even Mariah Carey, who is wearing next to nothing on a frigid New York evening.
There are worse traditions.
Anyway, going through my old archives from that period, I got a little nostalgic for the blogs I used to read, such as Dincocrat, Dave Friedman, and others. I’ll take some time at some point and relink to a few old faves who still blog. Friedman has disappeared, and his email no longer works. I’ll bet I can conjure him up. Check the post tags. Give me 30 days.
There you are. Red Guy in a Blue State here. Dude. Email me.
I hope that works.
Back to New Year’s Eve:
I have mixed feelings on Clarke’s appearances on the annual show after his stroke. One one hand, it is courageous. On the other hand, he’s hard to understand. Given the choice, I think he should rightly stay as long as he wishes, if for no reason more than future generations need to know that people aren’t useless after they become less than perfect. Would we still elect a president who is in a wheelchair?
Still, some things don’t last forever, and J-Lo should consider an evening gown.

Two thoughts:
If a comment is unwelcome, remove it. But emailing me and calling me a jerk just reveals a very unflattering side of this woman.
