Seriously, it’s about time. 11:00 a.m. PST, 2:00 p.m. EST is the time for the press conference today where special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald will anoounce what’s going on in the aptly dubbed Treason-gate. Could be indictments, could be an extension of the grand jury. Could be everything but the kitchen sink. All I know is that if he announces that nothing is going to happen, the populace will rise up as one and slay him. At least that’s what I hear.

Oh, and the Merry Fitz-mas part I think is a nod to the Stephanie Miller show. Quite possibly the funniest politics show on the radio. Sorry Al Franken, but you don’t have a voice guy who does such a great Bush. “I like toast.”

I must admit, I am lusting after the new Video iPod. My current 10Gb Gen 2 iPod is getting a little long in the tooth.

Now some people (my wife included) wonder why I need a new iPod, or even why I’d want that much storage space? It’s simple. The new generation of iPods are about more than just music.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home is one of my all time favorite movies both for its storyline and its humor. But mainly for it’s humor. Who can forget the entire exchange between Scotty and G’vnr Nichols:

G'vnr Nichols: Transparent aluminum?
Scotty: That's the ticket laddie.
G'vnr Nichols: ... But it would take years just to figure out the dynamics of this matrix...!
McCoy: You'll be rich beyond the dreams of avarice.
Scotty: So. Is it worth something? Or should I just...punch up "clear"...
G'vnr Nichols: No!
