Random Monday Musings
1. 1 vs. 100 could be one of the finest game shows in the history of game shows. And yes, I’ve seen almost all game shows at some point in my life, so I’m qualified to make that assertion, and yes, I realize that makes me a loser.
2. On Saturday, residents of New Orleans reelected U.S. Congressman William Jefferson in a runoff election, despite allegations that the FBI found $90,000 in bribe money in Jefferson’s freezer earlier this year. Remember that story? If not, in the words of Jack Walsh, “Don’t you read the papers?” Maybe Jefferson will hire Marion Barry to be his chief of staff when Congress returns to Washington next year. After all, they seem like soul mates. And maybe the residents of New Orleans shouldn’t receive any more federal money if this is the man they’ve chosen to represent them. Call me old-fashioned, but unless you’re planning to have a party with fifty hookers and a hundred lines of blow, there’s just no reason to have $90,000 in cash in your freezer. Seriously, in the words of Mr. Belding, “Hey, hey, hey! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?”
3. Speaking of Congressmen, do you think former Congressman and current resident co-chairman of special commissions Lee Hamilton has ever smiled? What about when his wife said she’d go out with him for the first time? I bet he at least smirked when that happened. Then again, maybe not. Lee seems tighter than a teenage boy in a Mark Foley fantasy.
4. While channel flipping over the weekend, I managed to stumble across the Real World Denver. The following words were uttered by a young woman on the show: “I look like a hypocrite. I look like a whore, and I look foolish.” Needless to say, I’m going to start watching this one! Hillary, if you haven’t chosen a campaign slogan, this one might help you loosen up your image a bit.
5. Finally, later in the week, I’ll review Bobby, Blood Diamond, and Deja Vu. One is awful. One is awesome. And one is enjoyable. Can you guess which is which?
Comments
For some reason William Jefferson's re-election reminded me of an old Simpson's line:
Montgomery Burns: "Ironic isn't it Smithers? This anonymous clan of slack-jawed troglodytes cost me the election. Yet if I were to have them killed I would be the one to go to jail. That's democracy for you."
Smithers: "You are noble and poetic in defeat, sir."

I bet "Bobby" is good and "Blood Diamond" sucks.
How did I do?

They're in order:
Bobby sucks.
Blood Diamond is awesome.
Deja Vu is enjoyable.
I just really want the Leonardo DiCaprio movie to win. I love him. *blush*

He's pretty dreamy, isn't he? His ex isn't so bad herself. Lex Fori, you win! More on that soon.

blood diamond is worth seeing? well this is news to me, judging by the reviews. i'm planning on seeing it anyway, but still -- if it gets the OK from you, now i've all the more reason to see it. :)
