Just a few quick thoughts at the end of the week.

I can't really get worked up one way or the other about a Spanish version of the Star-Spangled Banner. It is the 'national anthem' so you could make the argument that it should be sung as written. On the other hand, the original has been interpreted in so many ways that I don't think it does any harm to translate it into something perhaps more meaningful to new Americans. I'm sure to get into at least one argument this weekend over this.

Wow! Imagine somebody in the GOP being involved in a sex scandal? Not even interns, but actual prostitutes! I am shocked and appalled.

Did anybody, even among the 32% who still favor Bush, believe that he would do anything meaningful about the price of oil and gas for the average American?

Have a good weekend!
