It's Monday Night and I don't have anything to blog about.
Netflix is being weird. Two movies arrived back today. But instead of sending me my #1 and #2 choices in my queue, they have sent #3 and, as of this writing, haven't decided what else to send. Oh, and #1 and #2 are suddenly on "Short Wait." Very annoying. Am I being throttled?
The Super Bowl ads were lame this year. But the game was good. The Audi Green Police ad has caused a stir. I told the wife, "Don't laugh, it's coming." Actually, in some jurisdictions, it's here. And the Focus on the Family ad was about as offensive as a bowl of chocolate pudding.
The Federal government is going to form a "Climate Change Agency" if they can get congressional approval:
Portions of the Weather Service that have been studying climate, as well as offices from some other NOAA agencies, will be transferred to the new NOAA Climate Service.
The new agency will initially be led by Thomas Karl, director of the current National Climatic Data Center. The Climate Service will be headquartered in Washington and will have six regional directors across the country.
Which is just what we need: more bureaucracy. Of course, they can't do anything right now 'cause D.C. has been shut down by two or more feet of snow.
Mark Steyn wrote a great critique of the Audi ad: Getting our groupthink on
