Or maybe that's Withered Cipherdom. Ol' Vernam has been without connectivity at home during an eventful few weeks when he started a new job, watched the White Sox climb into and promptly fall out of first place, played some really fun gigs, and generally found better things to do with his summer than stay on-line all the time.
But screw all that! Whether the unblogged life isn't worth living or blogging's just a poor excuse for life, Cipherdom is here to stay. Love it or shove it, as our beloved next First Lady would say. Whoa, some kind of double standard there, eh? Her comment was somehow spun as more obnoxious than Cheney's f-bomb on the Senate floor. I missed all the Democratic convention except for Kerry's speech, which was at least adequate.
Glad to see the world is catching up w/ Ali G. He's like Andy Kaufman, only funny more often than not. He's reportedly got a movie deal now -- smart, since he'll soon be too famous to trick people like Newt Gingrich and Marlin Fitzwater into doing interviews. Borat, the Kazak emigre, should have a much longer shelf life. He's funnier than Ali G himself, IMO, and that's saying something.
Posted by Vernam at August 2, 2004 10:07 PM | TrackBackDonna and I just discovered Da Ali G show this season. The scene of Pat Buchanan rapping was priceless. I love Borat. This week he got a bunch of rednecks to sing "Throw the Jew down the well, so my country can be free" when he was trying to be a country singer. There was an good interview recently with Sacha Baron Cohen on NPR's All Things Considered,check it out: http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=3613548
