Weird ... but no cigar.

So I have been sitting on my ass for a week, skiing, cooking and minding the kids. And I don't feel good about it. Or bad about it, either. It just feels like something weird is about to happen.

OK, so the Fed kept rates static. What does that mean?

Gordon Brown is trying to hide the fact that he is a Trotskyite ... and???

The Iranians are giving everyone the finger ... what's new?

The French political race is a shambles ... yes. OK.

Democrats are trying to phase in an enforced withdrawal from Iraq. Assholes. But nothing really different about that.

Al Gore tells us that the climate is at a crisis point -- but flies from city to city in a combo of private jets and commercial ones. Uh, for the guy that "invented the internet" has he ever heard of webcasts? Or teleconferencing?

A guy gets time for fornication with a dead deer ... in Minnesota. Weird.

Bob Mugabe hires a bunch of Angolan voodoo bloodsucker paramilitaries. And we contemplate our navels. A man that turned the bread basket of Africa into a dust bowl. Send over some precision guided munitions to his political party picnic.

The Brits arrest three people getting onto planes bound for ... Pakistan ... who were connected with the 7/7 bombings. Gee, Pakistan. That IS a surprise.

Ho, hum.
