Poor Jeb Bush

January 6, 2009

Who has announced he will not run for Senate in 2010, saying “now is not the time.”   Just his luck to be the Lisa Simpson of American politics.

Barack Obama ran afoul of Senator Dianne Feinstein for not consulting with her about his choice of Leon Panetta for CIA Director.   Apparently somewhere along the way the Presidential appointment process has become a game of  “Mother, May I?”

Lebron James’ incessant whining over his travelling call against the Wizards?

“Crab drivel.”

 You might have made a New Year’s resolution to get a life and focus a little less on sports, if….. you were really looking forward to tonight’s GMAC  bowl  between Tulsa and Ball State.  (and you aren’t an alum of either school.)

Actually GMAC Bowl might be aptly named.   A little late – January 6! – with a product most Americans really weren’t that interested in… (Wonder if next year they will rename it the Bailout Bowl?)

A very funny writer and football fan, Hartley Miller, pointed out to me that USC is the only major conference team undefeated on Saturdays.  (Their loss to Oregon State was Thursday, September 25.)

Although as I thought of – alas, hours later – the 2008 Detroit Lions were undefeated on Tuesdays.

Laura’s book…

January 6, 2009

Laura Bush has just inked a multi-million dollar book deal with Scribner.  President Bush says for that much money he’ll read one too.

Laura Bush’s book will apparently be an “intimate account” of what really went on in the White House.  President Bush is looking forward to reading it, so he can find out too.

 

And former President George Herbert Walker Bush said he wanted to see his son Jeb become President?  He couldn’t have thought of this sooner, as in before the 2000 Republican primary and the subsequent Presidential election?
