Marriage and other games.

September 25, 2009

Former President Clinton says he has changed his mind, and now supports gay marriage. Of course, Bill has a history of changing his mind on marriage – starting with that “forsaking all others” stuff.


The Chicago Cubs, favored to contend for the NL title, have long been out of the playoff hunt But really, what’s the difference between the 2009 Cubs and the 2008 team that won 97 games? About a week.


The punchless San Francisco Giants, however, were shut out by the Cubs 3-0 on Friday night, in a game that took only 1 hour and 56 minutes. The game summary, “Nasty, brutal, but mercifully short.”


Actually, the Giants hitting this year is often of mythical proportions. Mythical as in few people have ever really seen it.


The Nationals, now officially losers of 100 games, have announced they will lower ticket prices in 2010. This might be a first in Washington. Incompetent results, and the public will end up paying less because of it.

Tears for Lebron: On an episode of the Jay Leno Show, Leno asked Lebron James the last time he cried at a movie. Lebron answered with a plug for his new movie. A more honest answer might have been “Game tapes from the 2007 NBA Finals.”

(the San Antonio Spurs swept the the Cleveland Cavaliers in 4 games.)

Politics and other dreams…

September 25, 2009

As much as I might try to write funny stuff, it’s hard to top Carly Fiorina’s new website – .
http://www.carlyforcalifornia.com Seriously. Even Sarah Palin commented “What was she THINKING?”


The ironic thing, Fiorina was the president of HP. Her website does for technology what Chrysler did for cars.

“Carlyfornia dreamin!!!? I guess Fiorinashe was listening to Arnold and tried to spell it phonetically


Also in California, Meg Whitman, running for governor, has already started HER radio ads. Which curiously enough don’t mention if she is a Democrat or Republican. To be fair, Whitman has voted so infrequently, maybe she can’t remember.

After comparing George W. Bush to the devil in 2006, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, said in a U.N. speech Thursday said, “It doesn’t smell like sulfur anymore.” Yeah, apparently staff disinfected the chambers after the speech from Gadhafi.


American Idol season one runner-up Justin Guarini is getting married, then returning to the studio to record his third CD. Idol fans were surprised by the news – Guarini recorded a second CD?

A radio advertisement hails Stanford Football as “the hardest working team in the Pac 10.” That just means they go to class.


Mark Reynolds of the Arizona Diamondbacks has broken his own record by striking out 205 times this season. 205 strikeouts? That’s more than a pair of horny frat boys at an LPGA event.


I’m thinking of starting a Facebook Group. Who needs Michael Crabtree? Let’s see. The 49ers are 2-0, the sulky wide-receiver is still holding out. Personally I’d like to see them commit to making the playoffs without him. Then put half the bonus they were going to give him towards next year’s number one pick. And give the rest to charity. Talk about a way to become America’s team.
