Despite my mixed feelings about this war, it definitely has its advantages. Barring, of course, the fact that I have to now go out of my way to get to work and back because all of the anti-war protestors who have shut down a section of Wilshire Boulevard that I usually travel on my commute. And, of course, the fact that I've hit media overload because every single channel known to man is running war coverage. I half-expected TNN to start running a news ticker underneath Blind Date. But, the positives: 1. Michael Jackson is no longer in the spotlight. 2. They've cancelled the whole red carpet entrance deal at the Oscars this Sunday. Some of you may see this as a bad thing, but to you I remind you of this: If there's no red carpet entrance, there's no Joan and Melissa Rivers. Sweeeeeeet. 3. Two words: war sex. Try it, guys, you never know how many women will actually fall for the line "you never know whether we'll see tomorrow, do you really want to die a virgin?" 4. Maybe that horrific-looking film with John Travolta where he's interrogating that guy from that unit who went AWOL under the command of Samuel L. Jackson will be pulled from theatres. I mean, who'd want to run a film now that talks about a military officer who defies orders? We have to support our troops, remember?
