Happy New Year, and the events since then...

If you're writing 2005 on your checks, papers, and such, you might need a little help, it is now the year 2006. So here's what's happened so far...

- Dick Clark returned to ABC Rockin' New Years Eve after suffering a bad stroke in late 2004. He obviously wasn't 100% but I was glad to see him. His voice wavered some - at some points his speech seemed close to normal, but it would deteriorate after a lot of speaking. I won't be surprised if he's back for 2007.

- The four BCS games are over, and congratulations to Ohio State, West Virginia, Penn State, and Texas. Last night's Rose Bowl was simply a classic - and the highlights are available at iTunes. Will Ferrell (USC alum) and Texas sensation Vince Young will be on tonight's Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

- Bill O'Reilly was on The Late Show with David Letterman. I thought this interview proved Letterman's political views - those that side with several of his repeat guests, including Al Franken and Michael Moore. Dave was being ignorant on 'the greeting war,' and revealing his sympathy toward Cindy Sheehan, mother of killed soldier turned anti-war activist, who has made many statements deemed anti-troop and anti-American by many people, including O'Reilly. To be short, Letterman has a right to his liberal views, but I think he could be stunting his ratings against Jay Leno, who has a better record of bringing guests with conservative views - Schwarzenegger and Coulter mainly... I might expand upon the O'Reilly-Letterman interview later, but here's a link to a QuickTime video of it...
