Yesterday morning I was walking on Fifth Avenue and Manhattan, and I saw Anderson Cooper from CNN walking his dog. Common sense dictates that I should have introduced myself as a journalism student (even though I'm more into newspaper or magazine writing) and told him that I'm a fan of his show (even though I usually watch Seinfeld when Anderson Cooper 360 is on and his show is not particularly different from Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC or even CNN's own Newsnight with Aaron Brown).

At the very least I should have said "Good morning, Mr. Cooper" or "Yo, Coop! Wassup?" to see how he would react. Maybe he would mention me on his program. Or maybe he would invite me to the live taping (boy is that an oxymoron) of 360 at 7 PM, when I would actually be able to attend since I'm usually out of the office by 6 PM. But instead I just looked at him make a 90-degree turn onto East 39th Street, dog in tow, and I proceeded further south on my way to work in the Fashion District. I looked at the pedestrians around me, and no one appeared out of the ordinary. Was I the only one who recognized Coop?

I'm getting more and more ticked off at the U.S. Supreme Court. All I wanted to do was infringe on copyrights, impose my beliefs on others and keep the government from taking my land. Thanks to Rehnquist and Co., these basic civil rights have now been taken away from me. I was thinking about how some say that displaying the Ten Commandments on state property is a violation of the separation of church and state, but do those people read the Constitution? The First Amendment states:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

This blog almost committed suicide by attempting to discuss religion and politics. I'll stop here.
