I would think that is rather obvious. Since most people don't really know or care what the hell Cinco de Mayo is, it's simply another day to drink lots of beer. Sort of like St. Patrick's Day and New...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/saul_relative16/541350It was May Day today. People marched and rallied and demonstrated and protested all over the world. Out in Los Angeles, only 8500 people came out, a far cry from the half million that marched in 2006.

Why now, some five months later? Because the woman at the top of the list, Sarah Jessica...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/saul_relative16/525022The 80th Annual Academy Awards was aired tonight live from Hollywood. This event is nothing short of an industry paying tribute to itself. And in such popularity contests, you get some good ones and you get some bad ones. Jon Stewart hosted.

Come on, fess up. I did. I bought one of the 104 million copies sold worldwide. It is one of the few albums that I have not replaced in CD format.
