News: Count Omar Sharif discussed his views on the whole Iraq situation. Who is better to ask than Sir Lawrence of Arabia's pal? A young Nebraskan woman got in trouble after she posed nude in public places and posted them on the web. "They're not going to stop me from doing what I'm doing. I enjoy what I do and they really don't have any grounds" to prosecute the case, she said.

Green Bay invited the Arizona Cardinals player who caught the desperation toss that won them the game last Sunday, and in the process, allowed Green Bay to sneak into the playoffs. He was also offered the key to the city. The Cardinals coach (4-12), however, was sadly fired anyway. On a happier note, one of the lesser liked coaches in the league, Steve Spurrier, quit (right after he said he didn't) because he was not having much fun losing. You'd think he'd be able to use those four key players they took from the NY Jets better, huh? The coaches of the Bears and Bills were fired, while the players are counting the days until the coach of the "we had a lousy Super Bowl and went downhill from there" Oakland Raiders. The coach of Tampa Bay is still around, which is good, since his car was scratched up kind of bad by that fan trying to get tickets.

Who to vote for?: I have various people whose opinions I respect, and it seems they all the voting for different people ... Dean, Kerry, Clark, Edwards, and heck even Bush (a few, if made to choose a Democrat, would choose Lieberman). Isn't it grand how there are so many different people to choose from, all of whom I find fault with in some way? Makes me proud to be an American. It surely isn't our television programs ... that new reality show in which a woman pretends to be planning to marry an obnoxious fat guy might be a new low.

Julia Roberts ... was funny ribbing Dave Letterman (on a repeat) last night about not marrying the mom of his new son. Meanwhile, Roberts' older brother Eric is fun on one of the few good shows on television, Less Than Perfect. His usual role is some scuzzy loser, but he is used well here. Another little known gem in which he plays against type is The Ambulance.
