Tragedy came to Japan. The S.O. and I watched the "Arigatou concert" on NHK. This is not a good video-but I could not find a better one to embed. If you get NHK World on your TV and this comes on-watch it. I submit you will not come away dry

There is a kind of irony in having this particular week end with my birthday. Nothing slams home one's own mortality like learning three people you knew are passed on-and then waking up to realize that you are 55 years old. Irony may not be dead, but a good number

Andrew Breitbart is dead. I really have nothing to say-save for the fact that no one should have to die-at 43, 63 or 83. Condolences should go out to his family-which if one will notice, a lot of his most ardent opponents are extending. Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs

Till Easter. I'm still trying to figure out what to give up. One thing I know I won't give up……… And speaking of sex-here is the Best Head Line EVER! http://weldbham.com/secondfront/2012/02/24/poll-santorum-comes-from-behind-in-alabama-three-way/
