Interesting blog comments
The jotsheet has received several interesting comments in the past couple of weeks. I thought I’d alert you to them.
- Albert Eisele, veteran of Congressional newspaper The Hill, stopped by for a chat. He was the innocent bystander in the Helen Thomas “I’ll kill myself if Cheney is president” brouhaha. We had a good exchange and I think we understand each other now.
- Commenting on the Tom Cruise/Oprah entry, Angie offered an interesting theory with which I agree, just on gut feeling: Tom Cruise is manic-depressive, used to take antidepressants (which exacerbate bipolar disorder and bring on manic stages), and the experience prompted him to become a mindless anti-psychiatry zealot. It just adds up. Cruise is like the one-time chain-smoker who now has a hissy fit at the aroma of cigarette smoke; oftentimes the previous abuser of a substance becomes the most overzealous wacko in opposing it—once he quits.
- The pro-Mac people picked up my anti-Apple entry and showed their true (laughable) colors. Their admins had a hissy fit, although one was cool and e-mailed me personally to ask if I had DDoS’d their site (lol). Looks like it’s been down for a while (oops). Little do these guys know: I’m considering buying a Mac Mini!
- Indirectly, I was accused of killing some Scottish chick!
- College football season is gearing up and so are is the neanderthal UM-OSU rivalry.

I’d blame scientology before I blamed any personal misadventures with psychoactive drugs Mr. Cruise might have had. You read up on their dogma and you realize just how sternly the church is against psychiatry and psychology. No doubt because Hubbard knew what a threat healthy thinking would be to his money making scheme.
