Friday Five: Fact Or Fiction

Thanks to the obvious sources. I'll try to have, y'know, a constant theme next week. Suggestions shall be taken.

1. The Lakers will sweep the Timberwolves.
FICTION. Spree, Cassell, and ol what's-his-name have really totalled up into an elite unit, and the confidence is getting to Hefnerian levels after dispatching of the Queens. They will win.

One. LA in five, beating the East in the same, kiss the rings, bitch.

2. "Stairway To Heaven" is the best Led Zeppelin song.
FICTION. It's not even the best long Zep song; lemme tell you a little story called "When The Levee Breaks". For my money, it's "Hey Hey What Can I Do" though sometimes I can make a compelling argument for "Whole Lotta Love" and/or "Rock And Roll", depending on mood.

3. If George Bush fails to get re-elected he should be put on trial for war crimes.
FICTION. He should be NOW. I mean, I appreciate the fact that the cabinent knows enough to have him avoid the Clinton perjury trap, but it's obvious things have gone from saving people to meet the new boss same as the old boss but we're white so it's OKAY! (This was the subtle underlying theme of my presidential run; you're just a figurehead at the end of the day--surrounded by others who usually make the decisions with having to have the last word as your ace in the hole.) So, really, FACT.

4. This summer's big movie is going to be Spiderman 2.
FICTION. I'm not a big cinephile like Harris is, but I'm really into seeing Harry Potter and the Hair In New Places or whatever it is--even if Lindsay Lohan isn't going to be playing Hermoine. :( Actually, it's all about Garden State in August, thanks to Zach Braff and Natalie Portman. The indies like it and it's important to support all-Scrubs related activites.

5. The summer is the best time of the year.
FACT, but with a caveat: it's more important to have free time and a good one than the specific time. If a bikini top falls on the beach but you're inside workig, does it really exist? HMMM? Provocative!
