Honeymoon phase:
Okay, it’s all sweetness and light now, but how long until the Dallas Mavericks get booed again in Los Angeles?
–
Many pundits are using Miami’s defeat in the NBA finals as proof you can’t buy a championship. And somewhere George Steinbrenner is just quietly chuckling….
–
The Lebron James school of how to win friends in action again – “All the people that were rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today.” Yes, Lebron, but isn’t sports supposed to be an escape? And right now those people are smiling.

Actually Monday morning, folks in Cleveland woke up with smiles as big as those in Ann Arbor reading about Jim Tressell’s resignation.
–
Newt Gingrich’s sister said her brother won’t end his presidential campaign despite the resignation of most of his campaign staff – “He doesn’t give up that easily,” said Candace Gingrich-Jones. No, not on campaigns. Only on his marriages.
–
Got to hand it to Lebron James. He may have set a new sports record for tarnishing an image without doing anything illegal and while keeping his pants on.
–
Speaking of which, it’s Tuesday morning already. So where are today’s latest Anthony Weiner pictures?
–
President Obama is visiting Puerto Rico today. So which Republican candidate will be the first to chastise him for wasting time and money travelling to a foreign country?
–
Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan is under house arrest due to jail overcrowding, and this weekend she threw a rooftop party for her friends. Wow. Normally to get this kind of “punishment” in Los Angeles you need to kill someone.
–
And here I thought he was the smart one in the race: Mitt Romney, flanked by, amongst others, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Michelle Bachman, said “anyone on this stage would be a better president than Barack Obama.”
–
President Barack Obama says that if he were in Congressman Anthony Weiner’s position, he would resign. Not that I think Obama’s the type to send semi-naked pictures to women, but resign? Really? If he were in Weiner’s position and Michelle had found out, Barack would be dead.

Inspired by my funny friend Jim Barach, who pointed out that “Ruler on Ice” is the horse that won the Belmont, not to be confused with Saddam Hussein. Also not to be confused with “Ruler in Water” – Osama bin Laden.

not a joke, just a comment
Didn’t many members of the GOP go apoplecitc when Michelle Obama vacationed in Europe last year? Now maybe Newt wasnt one of them who spoke out (altho I am sure he agreed with the criticism), and yet not a peep out of the Eric Cantors of hte workd when Newt goes on a cruisin’ to Greece and Italy. What’s the matter, Newt? Couldn’t find a place to get away n the US? Whatever happened to American exceptionalsim?????

So Sylvester Stallone was recently inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame. As he gave his acceptance speech the text simultaneously appeared on an overhead screen for the hearing capable.

I asked Lebron James for a dollar…. he gave me 75 cents.
I asked him, “Where’s the fourth quarter?”
He said he didn’t have one.

Paul, thanks, and you will like one joke in tomorrow’s post for sure.

Did I hear that a Heat fan bet $2 million and lost? Wow Canucks fans shouldn’t feel so bad today. None of them would be foolish enough to bet Luongo on a road game.

the wager may be traced to a Mr. P. Riley
