Case Not Closed

Personally, I'll either be at the SaoPaulo-Flamingo soccer match, or in The Allegro listening to jazz/bossa nova. Don't think I'll even bother making my "Al Gore Sucks!" poster.

Yeah, I'm with the judge -- not to stifle the environmental Chicken-Littles, but because she nailed it -- it could be mighty dangerous!

Incidentally, still awaiting Al Gore or one of his zealot/sympathizers to take me up on my wager. He says the water level increases 23-feet? I say less than 23-INCHES. Whoever's closer wins. Still no reply....

On another subject, briefly -- about swings, children and Hal's column, here in Rio, kids still play dodge-ball, and swing on swings -- they're not afraid to actually tag/touch another kid on the playground (lest the Political Correctness radicals rear their ugly heads and suffer extreme Teeth-Gnashing); teeter-totters still are used and, heavens, kids fall down in the dirt sometimes while playing! And, oh, the restaurants can still use that "better-tasting" fat to fry stuff in -- the fries taste good. No one throws a hissy-fit because beef Bar-B-Q is more popular than legumes or tofu. In fact, fast-food companies aren't compelled to put stupid VeggieBurgers on their menus by some goofy "activist" bunch.

On the other hand, though, this quote from the supercilious French actress Catherine Denveuve: "Brazil doesn't attract me. It's too consistently carefree." Guess you have to consider the source.

Rio's terrific, for a vacation. But I'll be home, on the Texas Gulf Coast, next week.

Re: Larry Thornberry's Don't Save Me the Aisle Seat:

Hallalujah!!! Finally someone agrees with me about the worthlessness of the film Citizen Kane. I, too, have been shocked to see it listed with "best" movies. I don't consider it a good movie, much less the best. Thanks Larry Thornberry.
