Another musician has done the unthinkable and gotten himself in trouble with the law. This time it's none other than D'Angelo.

So we're all aware we live in a world where terrorism can occur anywhere in the world. Some people tend to be more afraid than others that things can happen at anytime, which is a realistic notion. I always think that it's a good policy to trust in your law enforcement and security forces to keep you safe. See?

Environmental news for the past year has been somewhat gratifying. With the ozone hole getting smaller at least. It's awful to hear about Bush's refusal to sign the Kyoto Treaty, but I guess he has his reasons. It is awful however, when something like this happens. Ack!
