All Star Eve:
The “NBA Skills Challenge” seems to be becoming a series of meaningless performances punctuated by increasing media hype. In other words, sort of like the NBA regular season.

In fact the NBA regular season really has become a joke for the elite teams in the league, who know they just have to qualify with a decent seed. Some of these guys are mailing it in so consistently they should be sponsored by the U.S. Post Office.
Serene Branson apparently was suffering from “migraine aura” when she began speaking gibberish during a live segment following the Grammy.
In related news, Paula Abdul just announced a fundraiser for fellow victims of “migraine aura.”

A San Francisco radio station is playing 16 continuous hours of Grateful Dead music this weekend. This explains why, across Northern California, 7-11 stores are reporting a run on Doritos.

Rahm Emanuel is projected to be the winner in Tuesday’s Chicago mayoral race. And makes sense, he is a smart, attractive candidate who hasn’t made particularly impossible promises – for example, Rahm hasn’t said he could fix the the Cubs.

The #1 ranked Kansas men’s basketball team lost earlier in the week, the #1 ranked Baylor women’s team lost Saturday.
Being #1 in college basketball is getting to be about as safe as being the #2 guy in Al Qaeda.

My friend Karen points out the scary fact that Kim Kardashian has more followers now on Twitter than President Obama. But to be fair, the Kardashians probably have a lot more fans who can’t deal with more than 140 characters at a time.

Tiger Woods apologized for spitting on the course in Dubai last weekend and said he “just wasn’t thinking.” Yeah, well, apparently that has been a problem for years.

Frank Bailey, a former Sarah Palin chief of staff, is writing a tell-all memoir on the former Alaska Governor. I guess he’s not worried about getting sued, because that would require Sarah actually read a book to do it.
“I am Number 4” is doing well at the box office. This despite the fact that many moviegoers think it must be a documentary about NBS status amongst the major networks.

Just a thought, whatever side you are on: Regarding everything that’s going on in Wisconsin, and something to think about for 2012. Wonder would have happened if all this effort and energy going into fighting Governor Walker’s proposals, had gone into electing a Democratic governor last November?

As for “Some of these guys (who) are mailing it in so consistently they should be sponsored by the U.S. Post Office?” Actually, poor analogy. The Post Office at least ‘delivers’ rain, sleet or snow,’ which reguires some excellent passing and hand offs along the way to get it delivered. More like they’re texting it in, which requires less effort. For their fans, it becomes a “gloom of night.”
