I Think It's Gonna Be a Long, Long Time

I was gonna write this whole big thing about the fourth anniversary of the Iraq War. Something about the total waste of it all, how it has made us all far less safe, how it has diverted our time and attention and military capability in the service of a fantasy. How our leaders have used it to strip civil rights at home, violating human rights and the rule of law in pursuit of goals that would be deluded and hubristic even if their pursuit weren't also dangerously incompetent.

But instead, I think I'll just post this clip of William Shatner performing his lounge-lizard, hep-cat version of "Rocket Man" at the 1978 Science Fiction Film Awards.

Rock. It. Man.
