  • Several of you have been nice enough to send me emails encouraging me on improving my health.  A number of those emails stated that were c
  • I had a somewhat heated debate the other day with an old friend over which NFL cheerleading squad had the best looking uniforms.  We kept Dallas out of the argument.  He campaigned for Miami and Philadelphia.  I personally thought Tampa Bay and Washington lead the pack.  I’ll leave the research for yourself.  One thing is for sure, it’s certainly not the Baltimore Ravens squad.

  • Here’s a suggestion to you men, go ahead and order those flowers to be sent to work now and get it out of the way.
  • Seriously, flowers are a waste of money.  Sure, the gesture is nice, but they die rather quickly and that money could be better spent elsewhere.

  • It was recently brought to my attention that Sleeping Beauty’s castle is in Disney land and Cinderella’s castle is in Disney world.
  • In case you are wondering,  Disneyland in Paris has Réveillez la Dame de Château (Sleeping Beauty’s Castle), as does Disney Hong Kong, and Disney Tokyo has a Cinderella castle.
  • I also ran across the rumor that most of the castles’ spires are tipped with real gold, but one is left ungilt symbolizing that Walt Disney never had enough time or money to do everything he wanted to do.

  • Man, Sarah Palin is like a turd that just won’t flush.  Now she’s complaining about Tina Fey and Katie Couric (that’s like soooo 2008, get over it already), and she’s wondering if the media is going to treat Caroline Kennedy differently than her.  Well, of course the media will treat Kennedy different.  Kennedy is trying to fill a vacant senate seat to represent the state of New Year by being appointed and not locally elected, as opposed to being a heartbeat away from becoming the leader of the free world in a national election.
  • That being said, I don’t think either are ready to fulfill the duties of those offices.
  • I’m not sure if The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is considered a news organization, but he was laying it on Kennedy pretty hard regarding her lack of interview skills.
