We're the United States...Aren't we supposed to take the moral high ground in situations like these? That's what I keep thinking, as I see more and more images of protestors asking Columbia how they could possibly give a forum to this animal.

No one's saying Ahmadinejad isn't a world class jerk...he could be giving aid to Iraqis who are killing American soldiers, and he doesn't think the Holocaust happened (neither does Mel Gibson) and he wants Israel to just go away. But this isn't about him...it's about us. Especially at a University where students are taught to constantly ask questions, not to turn away when the situation doesn't suit you.

I saw a clip this weekend of Republican Senator Chuck Hagel being questioned about this, and he responded "Why wouldn't you want to allow these people to speak, and allow our people to question them?" It's called a dialogue, and sometimes it helps stop little things like wars. We keep getting these great opportunities to do the right thing, and we keep blowing them.

What do you think?

It was bound to happen. MTV is getting into the online community business. So, after you're done updating your MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, Friendster, Multiply, Eons, and Twitter pages...come on over to Think

Randy Pausch is a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, who is dying of pancreatic cancer.

Prof. Pausch recently gave his final lecture, called "How to Live your Childhood Dreams", as a gift to his children.

The lecture is on YouTube. It's two hours, but it's so worth it.

Who's more fun at a party?

- Only 2 days left to help put an asterisk on the steroid ball. Just don't tell Barry.

- and I've been playing with this all morning. Convert your images to type.

Yesterday, I wake up from a dream. It's one of the few that I can remember a few details from...they're usually just a blur for me. Anyway, I remember planning a party, or some kind of event, and it's toy-related (not too much of a stretch, if you know me). I have this idea to put two or three rows of bop bags (those punching bags kids play with) at the front of the room, so guests have to fight their way through them to get to the event.. Simple enough...a fun, fairly unexpected thing to do in the space. And that's one of the few things I remember about the dream.

So, I wake up yesterday. And on the way to the gym, I see they're setting up for a photo shoot at Union Square Park, and they're using a specific prop in the background. And I stop dead in my tracks...

- First, Alan Greenspan on the Daily Show bums the shit out of Jon Stewart.

People who want other people to leave a third group of people alone

Let the countdown begin...only six days til New York's weeklong celebration of one of life's most selfless, charitable and downright noble industries. Police? Firemen? Doctors? Teachers? No, you schmucks...it's Advertising Week, and a more useless, self-congratulatory circle jerk you won't find in any other industry in America...except maybe porn.

Well, at least we know it's a crock. Just another way for the city to make a few bucks. No harm in that, I guess. And while you're celebrating, check out a site really gets into the true spirit of the occasion...adsturbation.com

And congratulations go out to me for probably being the 10 millionth blogger to use that joke.

Coming soon, I'll report on 5,000 lawyers just found at the bottom of the ocean, and a priest, a minister and a rabbi who recently went skydiving.
