Sharon regrets sparing Arafat. "The Israeli prime minister says he regrets not having killed Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in Lebanon 20 years ago." [BBC News: world] 11:58:15 PM     The state we're in. "Last night, George Bush gave the annual State of the Union address. I did not watch it, because it was broadcast here where I live at 3 am, but I have read the transcript. Some highlights..." [kuro5hin.org]  This is a pretty straightforward synopsis of the speech, but the comments at the bottom are interesting. 11:56:15 PM     This is both hilarious and awful.  (via Jeremiah's Radio Weblog courtesy of weblog.masukomi.org). 11:53:43 PM     Tonight, Shannon and I watched Shakespeare In Love.  It's her favorite movie, and it might be mine.  It's between that, American Beauty and The Shawshank Redemption (all of which I have on DVD).  I always get two things from that movie: The greatness of Shakespeare The fact that nothing great can be accomplished without friends. 11:00:45 PM     The weather's awful.  The car had about 6 inches of snow on it this morning, encrusted in a thin layer of ice.  The trees are covered in ice.  Shannon's dorm is without power.  It hasn't snowed today, and the teperature is hovering right at the freezing mark, which is doing nothing but turning the snow into ice.  The roads are okay, varying from awful in the parking lot of my apartment complex to fine on the highway (though one of three lanes isn't being cleared of snow and slush).  There were many people not at work today. 5:52:21 PM     Have you googlewhacked? [C|Net News] 12:53:38 AM     "Mistakes were made". An open letter from Osama bin Laden, managing partner and CEO, al-Qaida. [Salon.com] 12:14:39 AM
