Car-mic luck?
The 405 is open again, and Los Angeles seems to have survived the weekend just fine. Wonder now if they will now start referring to it as Y2Karmageddon.

After all the worry and talk of Carmaggedon, the work was completed Sunday morning, and the 405 freeway reopened almost a full day ahead of schedule. Since project director Mike Barbour has proved so adept dealing with a potentially disastrous situation, maybe Los Angeles should put him in charge of the Dodgers.

Cincinnati running back Cedric Benson was arrested and charged with assault early Sunday morning, a week after Pacman Jones was arrested for a bar incident. Well, the lockout might not be over yet, but good to see that the Bengals are in mid-season form.

Okay, I’m still not getting this idea of a documentary about Sarah Palin. To quote the Wikipedia description “Documentary films constitute a broad category of nonfictional motion pictures intended to document some aspect of reality.”

Congratulations to Japan on their World Cup win. Wonder which GOP Presidential candidate will be the first to claim it’s President Obama’s fault.

Even many bandwagon soccer fans were heartbroken by the USA penalty-kick loss. Some of them will even think about it before the next Olympics

As much as most of the world cares about the women’s World Cup, the USA team still isn’t universally appreciated at home. In fact, when asked what they thought about Hope Solo, many Americans responded was “Wasn’t she in Star Wars?”

Texas Governor Rick Perry, who insists he doesn’t want to enter the GOP Presidential primary, nonetheless said in an interview he’s “getting more and more comfortable every day that this is what I’ve been called to do.”
All these folks claiming God is calling or may call them to run for President. Is it possible that even God can dial a wrong number?

Rudy Giuliani today on CNN about gay marriage. “I think the Republican Party would be well advised to get the heck out of people’s bedrooms. We’d be a much more successful political party if we stuck to our economic, conservative roots.” What’s more surprising, a GOP leader making a moderate statement, or the fact that Guiliani strung two sentences together without mentioning 9/11?

from Marc Ragovin: After accusing the Blue Jays of stealing signs, the Yankees said they would respond in an appropriate manner. Yeah, by waiting til the off season and stealing their players

While a USA win would have been great, it’s always good to see a team or individual win their first championship.

The “Boston Marathon” – actually Sunday night baseball went 16 innings, used 13 relievers, had only 8 hits and 1 ER ended @ 2:00 am ET. What a shame Tampa fans don’t support their team. Out of 21,000 in attendance I am sure at least half of those were Redsox fans. Maybe they need to import fans from Seattle as they turn out in droves just to see 1 run in 3 games.

Or 2 runs in 4 games…it’s either a scoring outburst or a mirage. I lean towards the latter. Go M’s. Please, go, now!

A replica taxi used in the Canadian version of the TV game show “Cash Cab” struck and killed a pedestrian after finishing production for the day in Vancouver.
Suddenly, a mobile game of Trivial Pursuit seems extraordinarily trivial.

There was more offense at Vimmmen’s Vorld Cup Soccer. And they did it mit out Vuvuzelas, Vilma.

In Germany, Paul the Octopus 2 correctly predicted Japan would beat the US in the Womens World Cup. His reward? He was not invited to be a part of the celebratory dinner.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching Darren Clarke win the Open Championship this weekend. What a pleasure to watch a golfer actually smiling during his round, smoking, chatting with his playing partner and then taking a drink of his Guinness during the press conference on national TV.And so humble in his accomplishment. Tiger who???

So where were you when I won the Mountain View Invitational this weekend. I won closest to the Hearse, and my prize was a free ride anywhere locally, as long as I didn’t try to sit upright.
