Isolation Thought

I am really aggravated by Dick Cheney's election comments. He said if Lurch were elected, we would absolutely be attacked. Huh, Edith? I thought two weeks ago W. said we were winning the war on terror. Of course, the Russians would dispute that. The U.S. military in Fallujah would dispute that. And numerous other countries and individuals would also dispute that. I think at a minimum, that Cheney comment is careless, but I think it's a perfect example of how this administration governs. Right from the pages of "Fear Factor".

"Friday Night Lights" has been made into a movie. It's from the Buzz Bissinger book about how huge high school football is in Texas, and is a proud member of my personal library. If you think Iggy or St. Ed's football is big, get a load of this.

I was looking forward to seeing that stunt pilot grab that NASA thingie out of the sky over Utah this morning. They had a really cool shot of it zooming towards earth, tumbling at about 15 rpm. As it was getting closer I thought out loud, "Uh, where's the parachute?" Gee, it failed to deploy and the thingie crashed into the earth. Next plan...giant catcher's mitt.

Exercise Yard

Well, I knew it would suck. "The Next Great Champ" had all of about 7 minutes of boxing action. None of it continuous. It focused too much on the personalities. Let's face it, if these boxers were any good, they would not need this program to make their mark. They should have Lou Duva tell stories for an hour to make it interesting.
