The French have finally done something worth while that doesn't involve cheese. They have discovered a new species of lobster. Leave it to the French to discover a crustacean that looks like a poodle.
Even though the score board read Kentucky 80 Tennessee 78, and the hearts of the orange blooded faithful were ripped out and left on the court like like a steaming pile of bluegrass thoroughbred biscuits, last night's game only reaffirms that this year the Vol Nation is winner. Who would have thought last October that 24,000 Tennessee fans would come to a basketball game - that's right, a men's basketball game - to form the world's largest checkerboard. Thanks Coach Pearl and the men in Orange!
This is the first Ash Wednesday in several years that I have not been able to worship, and I am surprised at how much I miss it. Ash Wednesday is not the foremost of Christian celebrations. This year for Lent I will be foregoing the joys of chocolate. If I were really committed, I would give up ice-cream. But I'm almost certain I'm not that strong. Besides, I'd hate to cause that much harm to Mayfield's stock holders.
I love ifilm.com!
Not long ago I was driving and passed a billboard that listed the jackpot of the Powerball. It was $9.6 million, billion, trillion, gad-zillion, or some such number that my small mind couldn't quite tackle. (I get excited when my checking account has 3 digits in front of the decimal.) So my mind took off down the what-if highway and began to wonder about all that could be enjoyed with such a ridiculous sum. After a fair amount of wasted brain energy and establishing several imaginary foundations, I as brought back to reality by one small fact - I have never ever bought a lottery ticket. (See above referenced bank account.) At least all I wasted was a little time in an otherwise empty brain.
OK, so now we all know that VP Dick Cheney shot a man. This goes without saying is incredibly stupid. What could be even more stupid is the Veep's response or lack there of. According to today's interview with Mr. Cheney, he wanted to know the facts of the vitim's condition before alerting the media. How dare Mr. Cheney doubt the press corp's ability to accurately report a story!
Apparently believing that one good bout of idiocy derserves another, the enlighted, objective Amerian press as take to showing up all over talk shows wearing orange safety vests.
Don't forget, guns don't hurt people - Vice Presidents do. David Gregory is on his way to Texas to interview the gun.
The battle appears to be between Harry Reid and Wayne Gretzky for the biggest idiot of February 2006.
First, congrats to the Steelers. But the game itself was pretty ugly. Mistakes on both side, and only one real big play - the reverse pass from Randel El to Hines Ward.
The only thing worse than the play was the work of the officials. The NFL has to do something about this. It was just plain sad, and will unfortunately be an asterisk beside an otherwise great run of the NFL's only 6 seed Super Bowl champion.
Even the commercials didn't seem that special this year. The best part of the whole show was of course the Rolling Stones.
