The Voices in Frank's Head

"Mosh" by Eminem. One of the coolest songs I've heard in a long time.

I saw "Late Nite Catechism 2" at the Max last Thursday night. It was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. In this live performance, sister picks up where she left off with a nun's perspective of life, religion and -- well -- everything else. Totally funny.

And for those of you from outside of the D -- it's worth driving a couple of hours to see this one. http://www.detroitsymphony.com/season/production.aspx?performanceid=454

There's a new game that I play when a major national or international event happens. First, I turn on CNN to get the basic story and see how they are covering. After that, I take a look at the other news networks to see how those outlets cover the story. The differences between some of the networks can be down right amazing. This morning was a perfect example. There was a rocket attack on the Sheraton Hotel in Baghdad this morning; no deaths or serious injuries but, since the hotel is inside the "Green Zone" and houses Western contractors & journalists, it is quite newsworthy. CNN reported the basic facts as they knew them, spent a lot of time playing up the fact that they had some exclusive video (no one else had video that showed the U.S. military returning fire with tracers) and said that much would depend on how effective the coalition forces were at responding to this attack. I flip over to Fox News. They also outlined the basic facts and show...
