Call me a Thinking Bulimic because it's time to Purge the Random Thoughts from my Head!
1. WITH ALL of NASA’s problems, do you still think we should refer to really smart people as “rocket scientists?” At this point, isn’t that sort of an insult?
2. CONVERSATIONS AT WORK: Volume XXI
Coworker #1: Today the intern asked me why I hated her. (Three seconds of silence.) I didn’t have a good answer.
That’s because he didn’t want to hurt her feelings. Yes, Coworker #1 has a sensitive side.
3. I WATCHED Studio 60 on Monday. It’s one of NBC’s alleged great hits this season. If the first episode is as good as it gets, this one has about as likely a chance of becoming a hit as I do of becoming a female prostitute.
4. PREDICTION TIME: The Republicans will retain control over both houses of Congress. (If my prediction comes true, the Democrats ought to just give up for good.)
5. MORE POPE TALK! The Pope should not go to Turkey, so says the man who tried to assassinate the last Pope. Mehmet Ali Agca said Pope “Ratzinger’s” life is in danger and that he’d be crazy to come to Turkey. He also told the Pope to resign for the good of the world and appoint an Italian cardinal in his place. This is where it gets good. “Then the Vatican should become a centre of peace and fraternity. The world has a need of this[.] [I]t does not need hatred and vendetta.” You couldn’t make this stuff up even if you wanted to. Next thing you know, Jeffrey Dahmer’s parents will write a “How to Raise a Successful Child” parenting book.
6. I HAVE A GOOD poll for Gallup or the Wall Street Journal or anyone else for that matter. Poll the world’s 1.2 billion Muslims and ask one question: “If a cartoonist draws a cartoon depicting Muhammad, should the cartoonist be executed?” That ought to give us an idea of just how many whack-jobs there are within the so-called religion of peace.
7. TOMORROW, MOVIE REVIEWS for This Film is Not Yet Rated and The Last Kiss. One is definitely worth seeing, especially if you’re not a poophead.
Comments
I agree with oyur election predicition. Until the democratic party grows a spine we they will never gain politicla power. Given a choice between indecisveness and decisive idiocy folks will choose decisive idiocy every time.
I hope they do fail, maybe then we can get some democrats in office with the ba!!s to stand up for there beliefs (even if they are unpopular). That's how the conservative movement rose to power.
