“The Machine” joined Brian Wilson on the Thursday’s ” The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” Even Conan said, “Okay, now that’s twisted.”
–
Apparently there was talk of censoring “the Machine,” until the powers-that-be realized no one was really watching the Tonight Show any more anyway.
–
Good thing Wilson chose baseball over football. Tonight’s appearance would have guaranteed a fine from the No Fun League.
(assuming anyone reading this is familar with “the Machine.” For his origins, google “Brian Wilson” and “Chris Rose” interview. Maybe without children under 10 looking over your shoulder.)

They’re still cleaning up from the parade and celebration in S.F. But says T.C. – “At least the field at A T and T Park isn’t frozen over, like it would be at Wrigley if the Cubs ever won.”
Actually, my friend Alex Kaseberg had a great joke on the same topic:
“Isn’t the San Francisco Giant’s AT&T Park beautiful? I’d say it is as beautiful as Chicago’s Wrigley Field in late October, but nobody has ever seen Wrigley Field in late October.”

Longtime New York Mets clubhouse manager Charlie Samuels has been suspended due to allegations of illegal gambling. So far, however, the allegations, are only for betting on horse racing and football, not baseball. Makes sense, who in their right mind would bet on the Mets?

Considering how many Americans seem to think the new Congress will just waive a magic wand and fix everything, it’s surprising more of them didn’t vote for someone who had at least dabbled in witchcraft.
–
For the last three elections, especially in Congress, many Americans have voted for “change.” Translation “make MY life better.” Wonder how long it takes them to discover that this latest group of electeds won’t instantly make that happen. Stand by for another vote for change in 2012.

After Tuesday’s elections, President Obama offered the Republicans a post-election olive branch. John Boehner offered one back, tipped with curare.
–
Bristol Palin apparently was too busy to vote in this election. Does this mean that when she’s done with all these reality shows Sarah’s daughter plans to run for Governor of California?
–
Actually, Sarah Palin didn’t take the news too badly. Of course the bar has been lowered a bit when Bristol says “Mom, there’s something I need to tell you.”
–
George W. Bush will apparently appear on “Oprah” to promote his memoirs. The former President has now joined an exclusive club – those who have written a book before they read one.
–
One definite bit of good news about SF Mayor Gavin Newsom’s election as Lieutenant Governor. No one will be able to accuse him this time of focusing on a campaign for his NEXT elected office and neglecting his duties. (The California Lieutenant Governor doesn’t really have any.)
–
The NCAA has dropped one of the serious charges against Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez, and only added one year of probations to the team’s self-imposed punishment. Apparently looking at the Wolverines’ record lately, the NCAA couldn’t see that the school had gained any advantage from the infractions.
