with this reveiw.

1. They like it and give it 3.5 stars out of 5.  Now, I don't always hold with RS reviews (which is why I use about 5 sources when I purchase CDs for the library), but c'mon.  How can they do this?  But that's not the worst of it.
2. Melissa Maerz refers to An Inconvenient Truth in the review, and not in a particularly good way.  But the thing that pisses me off the most is...
3. The fact that she refers to  one of my favorite poems of all time in this review.  I'm not a Frost fan, but Fire and Ice
   is concise, well-formed and so very very true.  And because I mean it, here's the whole thing:
   Some say the world will end in fire;
   Some say in ice.
   From what I've tasted of desire,
   I hold with those who favor fire.
   But if it had to perish twice,
   I think I know enough of hate
   To say that for destruction ice
   Is also great
   And would suffice.
   -Robert Frost, Fire and Ice
   
   Damn, if I could write poetry like that, I really would go back for my MFA.
   

Shit.  I just did what I'm giving the reviewer shit for.  Dammit. (And I only recognized it when I was tagging this entry.)

Totally and completely unrelated, one of the potentials on House tonight referred to a woman's vagina as a "hoo hoo".  I just completely cracked up.

Maureen Dowd interviewed Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert for Rolling Stone.  I love both of them; ok I love all 3 of them.  Read part of the interview here.
