"Le Beaujolais nouveau est arrivé."

It's beaujolais nouveau time again. The release date is November 20.

I'll try to find wine reviews and post them.

From the NY Times,

"The word from France is that the nouveau is rich and fat, with outstanding color and structure. "

So why is the Schrubmeister so hot to visit merry old England, espeically when it's obvious the people don't want him there?

Okay, so he gets to sleep in Buckingham Palace, and I guess that's a big deal. I think it's maybe because there's like a knighthood or some or other honour from the British realm coming his way. Can't think why the hell else he wants to go where he's obviously not wanted.

And as predicted the steriod scandal is starting heat up, although the mainstream media seems to be ignoring it.

The Mercury News does have a section on their website for The Doping Scandal.

No media coverage on this, at least I didn't see it.

Here we go. Let the f-bombs fly.

Bono remarks were not indecent, FCC rules

"When it comes to cursing, the government says, it's all in the delivery. That's the view of the Federal Communications Commission in its decision that U2 singer Bono's colorful language during the Golden Globe Awards didn't violate federal indecency rules.

The FCC rejected complaints from the Parents Television Council and more than 200 people, most of them associated with the council, who accused dozens of television stations of violating restrictions on obscene broadcasts by airing portions of the awards program last January.

The complaints objected to Bono's uttering the phrase "this is really, really, f--- brilliant."

The FCC, using the F-word more often to explain its decision than Bono did on the air, said the word "may be crude and offensive, but, in the context presented here, did not describe sexual or excretory organs or activities." That distinction is a key test to measure whether a statement meets a federal standard for broadcast indecency."
