C-SPAN ROOLS

Yes, the nerds are taking over.

CSPAN rocks. It rules.

As a follow up to the mention below of Tim Robbins and the pettiness of the baseball hall of shame, I should mention that Robbins appeared at the National Press Club yesterday to speak about his stance on the war, Cooperstown, and the media in particular. His speech was both impassioned and intelligently written, and the free form question and answer period reveal what I have already known - he really knows his stuff. Activism isn't a "latest fashion" to be tried on this week and cast aside the next; Robbins obviously takes it seriously and devotes considerable time and energy to it. Most importantly, he devotes a considerable portion of his being to it.

Hats off.
