Sham-a-lot

JFK's adminidtration, with its peaks and valleys, has gone down in history as Camelot, a golden time for the White House. I thought the above might be a fitting title for the current admin. to carry into the future. Shady election results, questionable war motives, dishonest past dealings, checkered criminal history, poor nominations and current scandals reaching all the way to the VP. Kennedy made many of the same mistakes, but managed to shine all the while. W just sits there like a car that has a good coat of dried carnuba wax on it, but no one to chamois it clean. I am sure that any criticism will draw fire to me, but come on people! Supporting W just cuz you're a Republican is like saying OJ was innocent just cuz you are black. I can't blame OJ, but I can't say he didn't do it...cuz he did.

Elizabethtown
Brilliant. Underrated. If you have lost someone, watch this film.

Maybe I'm Gay, But...

I hate sports. Watching them, that is! I love being have unconscious from my tryptophan-laced turkey binge on Thanksgiving, braving the chilly mountain air and laying down some leather in a family football game running from driveway to driveway. what i cant do is the "insert hand into pants, ooze onto the couch and scream at an inanimate object (i.e. my t.v.). why am i excited about a game involving a team i didnt bet on/have a stake in from a town i have only been to once (and was likely so drunk i cant recall much of the city except how clean their barroom toilets are)? i cheer for my school because that is where i am (Go Vols, you sorry bastards! Go!). that doesnt make me a fan. why should i care about who gets drafted onto what team and then makes more in a month than i will EVER make in a year? i was raised by a woman and that is likely why i just dont get it. someone be my daddy and explain it to me. Especially baseball. what the hell? if that "sport" got any slower it would be on C-SPAN. they need a shot clock! so whats the deal peeps? my mom skipped that lesson, but boy can i cook!
i will admit that i do watch boxing, but thats a whole different world. it could last 19 seconds (Tyson v. Spinks) or it could go the distance...but at least i know how long that will be from the outset. double overtime my ass. maybe thats it, maybe its ADHD.

Story blows. The star is inhuman! 90 minute demo.

A Bird in the Hand...

it seems that George W. Bush has nominated a gimmick..pardon me..a woman to serve as the newest Supreme Court Justice. Unruffle those feathers, ladies! I am all for women's rights. If I had a bra, it would have been engulfed in flames long ago. But here is the rub. this woman is not a judge, never has been and isnt even well versed it seems in the intricacies of Constitutional and legislative history. this is the smartest thing "W" has ever done. Now there is someone else who is going to be even more inept at their high-profile government position than he is. If your speech sucks, make sure you go o before the kid with the stutter. Now THAT is how you polish a turd!

"No Joke" Joke

This girl of the blonde persuasion was sittng next to me in the common meeting area reading. the TV is always on CNN and i happened to glance up and see the "crawl" saying something about a 12 Brazilians dying in a fire. this lovely lady turns to me and says "Oh, wow. That's awful! How many are in a Brazilian?"
