It’s never easy.

The Tea Party’s success has Republicans really bickering amongst themselves. Who do they think they are?  Democrats?

In the movie “Just Go With It,” Adam Sandler ends up in major trouble for pretending he is divorced, when he isn’t even married.  GOP leaders are thinking that it’s a shame that former Congressman Christopher Lee didn’t see an advance screening.

Redskins DT tackle Albert Haynesworth has been formally charged with assault stemming from a road rage incident earlier this month. Haynesworth plans to call the Washington coaching staff as defense witnesses. They will testify that this year Albert seemed incapable of really hitting anyone.

The city of Arlington has now released records indicating that they advised the Dallas Cowboys five MONTHS in advance that they needed permits for temporary seating. And the team didn’t start the approval process until mid January. Sounds like Dallas was as well prepared to host the Super Bowl as they were to play in it.

And as of this blog posting, Tiger Woods is in contention at the Dubai Desert Classic. 

Okay, anyone need any more proof that for most Americans golf is a one man game?   This is the weekend of the A.T and T Pro-Am in Pebble Beach, one of the most iconic golf tournaments in the country….and we care about the Dubai Desert Classic?

With all due respect, if Tiger weren’t using the tournament to attempt his latest comeback, most of us wouldn’t even know there WAS a Dubai Desert Classic.

Despite allegations that the Catholic church shelters its own, in Los Angeles, a 74 year priest was removed from his position by the Archdiocese. He had admitted having a sexual relationship with a high school girl starting in 1960. Because his lover was in high school when he was 23? Or because she was a girl?

How rough is it this year for the Washington Wizards, with an 0-25 record on the road? Now they get to travel to Cleveland to play the Cavaliers while they’re hot.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is going back to making movies. Which is probably a good thing, with all the money the former Governor will earn (and pay taxes on), the state of California can go back to actually benefiting from his crappy performances.

From reader Keith Hillyard: 

I see that Tanya Harding is pregnant. When the kid finds out who his mother is, his first words will be, “Why me?”

Decisions, decisions

First he’s staying, then he’s rumored to be leaving, then he announces he’s staying, then finally Friday he resigns. Not sure what now-former Egyptian President Mubarak’s plans include, but one option probably includes playing quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings.

So, the revolution in Egypt has brought new leadership and the Egyptian people have hopes for a bright future. On the other hand, it’s not quite THAT easy. How many times in the past 100 years have the Chicago Cubs changed managers?

Congratulations to the people of Egypt. On the other hand, how would we Americans feel waking up in the morning to find out the Pentagon was in charge?

A new Ronald Reagan stamp will be a 44 cent “forever” stamp. To really do Reagan’s economic policies justice, Americans should buy the stamps, and save them to use when the real cost of first class postage is over $1.

The white designer mini-dress Lindsay Lohan wore to court this week apparently has now sold out in stores. Wonder how long it will take them to come up with a striped version.

A new book claims that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has fathered at least four “love children.” Who knew that Assange apparently had dreams of playing in the NBA?

Regarding Assange, yeah, white men can’t jump, but they can apparently score.  Especially without protection.

Newly released in the cinema:  A mediocre Adam Sandler-Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy and a Justin Bieber documentary.  It’s enough to even make many women say “So honey, isn’t the Pro Bowl normally the weekend after the Super Bowl?”

The Cleveland Cavaliers tonight ended their 26 game losing streak by beating the Los Angeles Clippers in overtime. And somewhere, some aging members of the 1972 Miami Dolphins cracked open a few beers.

From Bill Littlejohn:  Albert Haynesworth was reportedly involved in a road rage incident in which he punched another driver after allegedly tailgating him.  Redskins fans say it’s reportedly the first time he’s caught someone from behind all year.
