Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

My Favorite Scene From The Wire
This is from season 1. Warning, contains some nudity and "some" profanity.
Ok, it was 100% profanity.

I am having a bit of a trouble with the current season. I find it hardly believable that McNulty would go on this serial killer emulation (out of character, too dumb for him) or that Prop Joe would just be used and killed like that.
Maybe I will get into it but, IMO, the season is not as good as previous one.
I had a harder time accepting Lester getting involved, but I saw something that made it work for me. The whole show is about power corrupting. Given all cutbacks at the force and what's going on in his personal life (as always); what does he have to lose?
Prop Joe I have no problems with. He was worried about Omar (correctly even though he wasn't involved) and Marlo who he was mentoring along, acted in character, backstabbing him and turning one of his leutenants. Joe was leaving which is what he would have done anyway if he figured it out, but Marlo has been successful at knocking off the rest, why should Prop Joe be so different.
Joe and Herc's conversation in the lawyer's office was a riot.
I had a problem with last season but think the last 3 episodes made up for it all. I have faith.
