ten miscelaneous things on Saturday night

• Last week, I posted about Hillary Clinton's pandering. Yesterday, Molly Ivins took on the same topic and said it better. Her column here.
• Black Cherry Vanilla Diet Coke. Not so good. Could they add a few more flavors to this concoction?
• Spicy tofu rolls from Noble Fish in Clawson. Very, very good.
• Movies I hope to see get lots of Oscar nods: Munich, Brokeback Mountain, Murderball. All three are amazing.
• Got together with old pals today and went down to 6-Mile and Livernois to see the old alma mater beat up on Illinois-Chicago, followed by pizza at Buddy's (pies are half off when U of D wins!). Must make time to see a few more home games this year.
• First the funeral of Rosa Parks. Last week the Auto Show. Plus the Eminem nuptials. In two weeks the Super Bowl. Detroit's gotten more national media exposure during the past two months than during the four years I previously lived here.
• What's up with the weather? Spring one day, winter the next. A little snow, a boatload of rain. No pattern.
• New Pornographers opening up for Belle&Sebastian this Spring, but no Detroit dates. Travesty.
• Clap Your Hands Say Yeah also touring and there IS an Ann Arbor date. Excellent.
• Karl Rove continues to urge the GOP to capitalize on the nation's deepest fears. And while he's in the midst of an ethics probe. Nice.
