[Boston Globe — Sports News](http://www.boston.com/news/globe/sports:) “Barring severe soreness or a setback to his balky left knee, Richard Seymour will likely suit up and play a significant role for the Patriots in Sunday’s Super Bowl.”
The Party’s On
From [PGA.com – PGA of America](http://www.pga.com:)
For one of the rare few times all year, the gentile aura of the PGA Tour gives way this week to the FBR Open in Phoenix. It’s the rowdiest stop on the circuit, with big, boisterous crowds creating a spirited scene that irritates some golfers and invigorates others. Tiger Woods is among those who haven’t dropped by for a few years, but those who play every year say the secret to success is to just get into the spirit.
Remember when Tiger hit the hole in one on the 14th back in 1998 (I think).
iPodder X adds AAC format, bookmark support
From [MacCentral](http://maccentral.macworld.com/:)
Thunderstone Media has released an upgrade to iPodderX, the company’s utility for downloading and managing “podcasts,” which are radio shows that can be downloaded in MP3 format and transferred to an iPod or other MP3 player. Version 2.2.7 adds the ability to convert files into AAC format and allows users to bookmark files so that they can resume listening where they previously stopped…
This is what I just sent Adam Curry an email about… podcasts should by default be broadcast in the bookmarkable form. Sure, MP3 is more ubiquitous, but these are **pod** casts, and the iPod plays these files very well, thank you very much 🙂
State of the Union
OK… here we go.
He’s not a bad speaker when he has prepared notes.
Can we really take him seriously when he talks about not spending more money??? He has **no** credibility on this issue.
Frivolous asbestos lawsuits? WHAT!!!
Come on, get to social security.
Well, at least he’s talking about getting less dependent on foreign oil. But what’s the right way to do it???
Immigration? Borders? We don’t need no stinking borders.
###Social Security
Now we’re talking. Give me control over my own money. PERIOD! It’s good to hear him promise that people over 55 will have no change in benefits. Thank god he’s addressing the ratio of contributors then versus now: 16:1 vs. 3:1 vs. 2:1 in the future.
I wish the democrats would shut the f**ck up and admit that there’s a serious problem… the above ratios *’do not lie’*. **GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY!*
###Marriage Ammendment
NO!!!!!! **Not In My Constitution!!**
###The War on Terror
Support the military, the terrorists are on the run… didn’t we hear this speech last year? WOW, Did he just slam Saudi Arabia?? Excellent.
Woods tipped for comeback in 2005
From [BBC Sport | Golf | World Edition](http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/click/rss/0.91/public/-/sport2/hi/golf/default.stm:)
Tiger Woods is set to stage a comeback this season after a lacklustre 2004, according to BBC Sport’s golf experts.
Well, I hope so. At least if he does, it might be an interesting year in golf. Last year was boring (at least if you’re not a fan of Vijay). Still, it’s funny that they talk about a lackluster year. I’d bet that there’s about 100 other golfers on the tour that’d kill for a year like he had.
Stahl: Not In Terminator 4
From [Sci Fi Wire](http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/:)
Nick Stahl, who played John Connor in 2003’s hit Terminator 3:
Rise of the Machines, told SCIFI Wire that neither he nor T3 co-star Claire Danes will appear in a proposed fourth Terminator movie.
Interesting. I wonder what the plot is. Neither of them will be a particular loss, but where will the franchise go? Arnie is getting a little long in the tooth to carry it again.
Those who do not learn from their mistakes…

… are doomed to repeat them.
LIVE 24 UPDATE
From [Dave Barry’s Blog](http://weblog.herald.com/column/davebarry/:)
I think I figured something out: The terrorists took over all the nuclear power plants in the United States by… *installing Windows XP Service Pack 2”. Those heartless ”bastards*.
That’s the only way I can describe some of the dialog…
It’s been a long time since I heard technobabble as funny as that in the show last night. Remember when the Secretary of Defense waved his hand and said he didn’t understand a word of what was said??? I was thinking to myself that I do that stuff for a living, and I didn’t understand it either. OK… it was entertaining, but give us some more credit, OK?!?!!??!
Is it wise to pull the tale of an angry Tiger?
[BBC SPORT | Golf | Els casts doubt on Woods revival](http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/4224863.stm)
South Africa’s Ernie Els has insisted former world number one Tiger Woods will never dominate golf again, despite his recent revival in form
OK Tiger… I’m thinking another 11 win season is in order… and can you add in a couple of majors just for good measure?
I think now that Tiger has his romantic life in order after marrying Ms. Nordigen he’ll be able to get his mind back on golf. Note to Tiger… you’re only half way there.
