Downright Duplicitous

So it turns out that the US and British governments weren't exactly forthright with their reasoning and justification with invading Iraq. As stated on www.thedowningstreetmemo.com, "the minutes detail how our government did not believe Iraq was a greater threat than other nations; how intelligence was 'fixed' to sell the case for war to the American public; and how the Bush Administration’s public assurances of 'war as a last resort' were at odds with their privately stated intentions."

The US media has hardly covered this matter (liberal bias my ass), and thus, I am only giving links to the Times, as they broke the story. A second document also has surfaced stating that they needed to come up with an "excuse" to invade (WMDs?).

Denver's Own Donkey Den

Well, it turns out that Denver now has a restaurant called the Donkey Den. I would have sworn that this was an internet hoax, but I researched it, and it appears to be real. I won't write more about it, as plenty of others have already.

I'm just surprised they don't have an entree called a Dirty Sanchez.

It's Back Baby!

In my opinion, there are only two shows worth watching on TV - Lost and Entourage. And thank goodness, Entourage is back for its second season. If you didn't watch it last year, pick up the first season on DVD, and once finished with it, use On Demand to catch up on Season 2. The show has great music - it used U2 for its promos, and tonight's episode featured Beck, Kings of Leon, and A Tribe Called Quest. The story follows a young actor who has brought his friends from back in Queens out to Hollywood, who become his entourage. The story covers the behind the scene action in Hollywood, including all the perks of fame. It stars Kevin Connolly (Eric), Adrian Grenier (Vince), Kevin Dillon (Drama), Jerry Ferrara (Turtle), Debi Mazar (Shauna), and Jeremy Piven (who is awesome as the scumbag agent, Ari). Plus, the show has great guest stars, such as Jessica Alba, Amanda Peete, and Gary Busey (and Marky Mark Wahlberg is the executive producer). You gotta see it.

Wonderful Wedding

We celebrated the wedding of Josh and Megan Herald yesterday. It was a really great time, with lots of dancing, drinking and laughing. As typically occurs with our group, we were the last ones on the dance floor, and closed down the place. I wonder what those who do not know us think, when they see a group of 15 or so singing at the top of their lungs to "Brown Eyed Girl" or "Livin' On A Prayer". For those of you who don't know Josh, he is a really good friend of mine from college, who has also started his own blog, Hark the Herald. You should check it out. We are all so happy for the two of you, and wish you the best for your future together. After the wedding, we all headed down to our place in Golden for pizza and more drinks. Good times.
