World AIDS Day 2003 was yesterday, December 1. A lot of good stuff happened around the coutnry and the world. But nearly enough attention is being paid to this issue.


John Kerry delivered a speech on battling AIDS on the domestic front and the international front. Kerry along with Bill Frist, R-TN, co-authored the largest and most significant piece of AIDS legislation last year in congress and it was supported by the USCCB, Catholic Relief Services and National Catholic AIDS Network. Kudos to Kerry and to Frist.


ABS's TV show, Alias, is slowly returning to form. The show had taken a terrible turn for the worse. Now they are slowing down and working on good stories and not rushing through every episode. My main problem with the show is that she is sleeping with just about everyone. This turn to sexiness does not do the show justice and cheapens a good story. The first season worked well because there was very little sex, there was tension, but it make it much better.


We've stopped watching the Practice. James Spader is excellent and has a great character, but the show has become unconscionably graphic, all in the name of attracting viewers.
