Our greatest cultural artifact is probably Seinfeld, a television program devoted to expoloring what it means to live a life that has no context, that has no meaning. -- Bill McKibben in "The Posthuman Condition" in the latest issue of Harper's Magazine

One. I don't think the big question is to whether or not the NCAA Tourney should continue in the event of war. It is, should this damn blog go on in the event of war? How can we? We'll all be glued to our television sets, not getting work done, staring, shaking our heads, wondering, and so on. I'm just saying, if we disappear, it's because of the war. You know which one I'm talking about.

Two. If you are interested in hearing Mitch Hedberg's stand-up for yourself, without any money up-front, or clunky stereo accessories, then simply [CLICK HERE] to stream him on your own Real Player. Hear such hits as: the donut-receipt joke, the Bigfoot joke, the airport joke, and many many more!

Three. Watched 8 Mile tonight, cause I have a strange curiosity to see and hear everything that Eminem does. It was not terrible, though it was not good. The boy can rap, or "battle" as they must say in the underground Detroit rap scene. I would tell you how I connected this movie with PTI for a joke that was funny (roommate Luke laughed), but it would not make any sense to you. I am that smart. You may not be. I will spare you the humiliation if you are.

Four. My biggest fear in the coming war is whether or not they will pre-empt regular programming. Specifically, I do not want to miss the new Chappelle's Show episode. He's supposed to make jokes about black and white people, and maybe even poke hip-hop culture in the proverbial ribs a time or two. If bombs make me miss this, I will be upset. No war, dammit! We want to see our regularly scheduled programs! No war!

Up Next: Mitch Hedberg, live
Tomorrow: This ain't HBO. It's just regula' ass tv.
