Looking ahead…

November 24, 2008

So the Tennessee Titans are perfect no more, after a loss to the NY Jets. Wonder if they were looking ahead to their Thanksgiving day matchup with the Lions.

Some wonder why Hillary Clinton is apparently going to accept the Secretary of State position with Barack Obama.  Well, for starters, he’s likely to treat her better than the last Democratic president.

Many pundits have commented on how many very competent people Barack Obama is choosing for his adminstration.  But for Washington fans of incompetence, don’t worry, there’s still the Wizards and the Nationals.

The 1-10 Wizards have already had so many bad losses this year that some are thinking of renaming them the Washington Republicans.

The Italian Finance Minister claims that Pope Benedict XVI was the first to predict the collapse of the stock markets in a paper he wrote in 1985.  Of course, economists have only  predicted about 10 market collapses since then.

President Bush says he’s a fan of the environment but I’m not sure he gets it.  When he heard that the Volkswagen Jetta was picked the “Green Car of the Year,”  he responded, but “Yeah, but I’ve heard the Prius is the best environmental blue colored one.”

According to ESPN, Adam “Pacman” Jones is “finally down to his last chance.”  Any more missteps and he will be sentenced to play for the Detroit Lions.

An early Thanksgiving…

November 22, 2008

Many men and teenage boys in America are giving thanks early.  Most weekend shows of “Twilight” are sold out.

On Thanksgiving Day itself, the NFL’s featured game will be between the now perfect Titans and the perfectly awful Lions.  Guess it’s the league’s way of making sure all their fans get a Thanksgiving Turkey.

The woeful Washington Wizards fell to 1-8 to open the NBA season.  On a brighter note, they’ve just been declared honorary members of the Bush administration.

Backup University of Florida quarterback Cameron Newton was arrested and charged with stealing another student’s laptop.   He is the second Gator to be arrested this year.  Who do they think they are, the FSU Seminoles?

The stock market finished another tumultuous week.  Most Americans haven’t seen numbers fall this fast since President Bush’s approval ratings.

A woman gave birth earlier this week on a Finnair flight.  Good thing she was flying Finnair and not an American carrier.  Upon landing they would have probably charged her an extra child’s fare.

Or-  from my funny friend  Alex Kaseberg – when her water broke TSA  might have arrested her for bringing on more than three ounces of liquid.
