Happy Halloween!!!

Still got MAD Pumpkin Carving skilz! Basic, TRUE! Functional, TRUE! but, I still can impress the wife (condesending) TRUE! Check out these....

Remember to always build in LOW, LOW, expectations, that way, no one gets dissappointed.

If you read my friend Kate's blog, and, no one does (but me) you'll read about the moving of Halloween in Chip Chip Chippewa! Totally, B.S. and that goes for every other municipality that moves 'trick or treat' for any reason. In case you're wondering Halloween is for kids. To quote Lucy from Peanuts, 'We're DOOMED'!!

Couple of quick notes:

Did you think the Bush Adminstration is playing 'ultimate' politics with the strike inside Syria? It could be a MAJOR distraction, and if the electorate is distracted the incumbant party might just win!

Bud Selig continues to made terrible decisions when it comes to major league baseball. The fact the World Series is still in play is reason alone, baseball needs to totally overhauled!

Go see Zak and Miri make a Porno!!! DON'T take your kids!

These things have been rolling around in my head....

....so I thought I'd spit em out and share.


Santonio Holmes is an idiot. I don't care if he does smoke tree, but, seriously, in your car directly after practice? Idiot!!!




Seen the ad by the Republican Party of the Oval Office saying Obama's first crisis as leader of the free world would be his first crisis, period? It's basically the same ad Jimmy Carter ran before Ronald Reagan waxed him. By the way, McCain's first crisis as president would be his FIRST crisis also.





Halloween is October 31st NOT whenever it's convenient for a municipality. It's for KIDS! NOT commerce!





...and if someone can figure out all the players and what happened in this Jennifer Hudson tragedy, please drop me a comment cause I'm pretty confused!

It's a WIERD Time in my life.....

....cause I never thought I'd reach a time in my life where I could find a Vice President attractive. Now before you go 'he's a perv'...I not talking about Joe Biden, I'm talking about Sarah Palin! So hear me out. Sarah Palin is HOT!!! I'm not the first to notice cause my co-host on the morning show really brought it to my attention. I'm not the kind of person who thinks of people on a scale of whether I would sleep with them or not. That's not what I'm talking about. She's HOT!!! She's good looking, she's attractive. She COULD be the Vice president! Aren't they always OLD people? Here's the real problem, I'm old enough to think she's hot! (and NOT be a perv) Also I never had the same thoughts about Spiro Agnew,or George H.W. Bush, two reasons 1) I'm hetero, and 2) they are MUCH older than me. OK, at least I've come to grips with it. Sarah Palin is HOT!!! Does that make me old?

So I've been sick.......

.....and I thought I'd share.....click and enjoy..

Hmmmmmm....I got my semi-annual.......

COLD! Happens when the temperatures drop and again in the spring when temperatures rise. Every year, and I'm am such a freakin' baby. I whine, I need to be pampered, I need to be waited on, and I can't seem to help myself. I am a BIG BABY!! OK I'm done!

Red Sox, as usual, are killing me! They can't seem to put away another team unless they are in the World Series. Needless to say, my emotions go up and down with every game. Thank God it's NOT the Pirates cause, then the drama would be right under my nose, and I'd have to be at every game, get press passes, tickets for friends, etc, etc.

Political Process according to me...

I started this yesterday, the day after the GREAT debate on Tuesday. First of all, these are NOT debates, they are showcases for the candidates to preach their doctrine. Each performance is fine tuned, including the rules of said debate. Each one of these 'showcases' have been negotiated by the campaigns in a way which will ONLY show their candidates in the best possible light. Again, not a debate! In fact, not even a sharing of ideas, just bluster, rhetoric, and stump campaign speeches all wrapped into a 90 minute boring TV show. Here are some rules which will NEVER be adopted but should be in each one of the debates.

1) Each Candidate MUST answer the question proposed. Each response to a question needs to stay on point. The moderator, should have the ability to stop a candidate's response if they stray off point.

2) Candidates may not summarize their opponent's record or position. They MUST state only their own position (or party's position) on any given topic.

3) Failure to adhere to 1 or 2 would result on their opponent getting 'bonus' time to highlight their position.

4) There should time set aside when the two debaters actually have 'face to face' time to discuss their differences, similarities and possible compromises to issues.

These are just a few broad stroke changes, I'm sure you can think of more and i'd love to hear them from you.

It's really time we asked our candidates for plans, solutions, and explanations of their solutions. Right now, all I hear is consultant speak from both of the major party representatives. Make sure you appeal to the masses on the issues and please don't try to explain cause you'll lose the voters attention. This type of campaigning and government execution is what's got us in this mess, and we don't need to be leaving our kids a BIGGER mess than they already will have to clean up. Your thoughts?

It's Monday!!!

Moving a little slower this morning, gotta hate those Sunday night Monday night, Steeler games. Certainly want to punch the alarm when it goes off at 2:30!!! Yikes!!!! Couple of thoughts on last night's Steeler win in Jacksonville. First, it's really difficult to win on the road in the NFL, just ask Buffalo (losers to Arizona, Cincinnati (losers to Dallas) or Seattle (losers to the Giants), so the Steeler win last night on the road in J-ville really puts them in drivers seat for the time being in the AFC North. Second point, last night's game based on the injuries the Steelers have had in the first few weeks of the season, really lends to a 'character win'. They played without running backs Willie Parker (knee)Rashard Mendenhall (shoulder), guard Kendall Simmons (Achilles' tendon) defensive linemen Casey Hampton (groin) and Brett Keisel (calf). And because Big Ben had been sacked 16times in the first four games, the Jaguars expected to have a big day defensively, however, he threw for 237 yards and two scores in the first half and directed scoring drives of 71, 59, 82 and 66 yards. The Steelers out gained Jacksonville 300 yards to 49 yards in the first half and had 17 more first downs. Nate Washington caught six passes for 94 yards and a touchdown. Hines Ward had seven receptions for 90 yards and a score. Mewelde Moore, filling in for Parker, ran 17 times for 99 yards. Players 'stepping up' to use an overused sports term. Last point on the Steeler win in Jacksonville, something MUST be said about the systems in place from the coaching staff. When a team suffers as many key injuries as have occurred this year, and the team continues to win, in spite of changing personnel, it says alot about the coaches, their systems and the organization.

With the 'bye week here, let's enjoy the win, get some players healed and get ready for a very tough rest of the season.

Go Steelets

Debates, Playoffs and BIG Birthdays

So this weekend marks the beginning of our BIG 250th Birthday Celebration!! Really, did you guys get an invitation or did I just misplace mine.


How afraid do you think the Republicans will be when VP Nominee Sarah Palin takes to the stage tomorrow night v Joe Biden? Frankly, if she bombs, it's the Republican consultant's fault. McCain picks her, puts her on the world stage at the Republican convention, then locks her away for almost a month with political consultant's who watered down her message and confused the S*** out of her! You can see it in her eyes, whenever, she's asked a question. Oh and she's learned from the BEST (McCain) on how to never really address the question which was asked. Love politics.



I gotta get going cause game one of the baseball playoffs is this afternoon. There's ONLY ONE OCTOBER!!! Here's my early Christmas wish for this years World Series....Cubs v. Red Sox! Fenway and Wrigley! If you build it they will come!!!!!!!
