This One is Messier than that Stupid Cheeseburger from Carl's Jr. that "Gets all over your Face" (Who the hell would want to eat something that is basically guaranteed to get your face and clothes dirty?)
Three weeks ago, University of Arizona head basketball coach Lute Olson took a leave of absence to handle a personal matter that he claims was not health-related. Apparently, the situation is of a deeply personal nature that requires Olson’s full attention and is something that doesn’t have an end date. Monday night, Olson returned to practice, but he is not returning full-time to the team quite yet. Okay, okay! It’s been three weeks already! Will whoever knows the real reason why Olson is on a leave of absence just leak it to the press so we can know what the hell is going on. My goodness – why are these people so damn tight-lipped?!? It’s not like it’s a national security secret! Anyone have any ideas? My brother thinks he has the beginning stages of Alzheimer's, but somehow that seems "health-related" to me.
Right now, I feel like walking into a casino and saying, “Iowa Caucuses – two dollar superfecta – Obama first, Clinton second, Biden third, Edwards fourth.” If it went on to finish that way, I bet I’d make a tidy profit on my wager!
Do you think a former senator will be president after the next election? I still think McCain is going to come on strong over the next month and change, but will he have enough to get the Republican nomination? Sadly, me thinks not.
The current issue of Newsweek has a long story about Rudy Giuliani. Even though I find him likeable in the debates, I just can’t help but think that it’d be a disaster to have him as our next president. We need someone who is very well connected to the outside world and who knows foreign affairs inside and out. Romney doesn’t. Giuliani doesn’t. Huckabee doesn’t. McCain does. Biden does. Gore does. Bush Sr. does. Clinton’s a woman, so she obviously can’t have as much knowledge as the men… at least, that’s what a leading Kazakhstani scientist proved when he established that women’s brains are the size of squirrels’ brains. (Hey, it was a funny movie if nothing else!) In all seriousness, Clinton is incredibly knowledgeable as well, but I still trust McCain and Biden more than I trust her. Plus, I'm sick of the Clintons and the Bushes.
I saw Wolf Blitzer moderate a debate in person one time and thought he was great. That’s why I don’t understand how he can be so awful on television. He comes across on television as someone who has less personality than a bowl of oatmeal.
After watching MSNBC late at night a few times, I’ve decided that living in San Quentin prison is not something I’d like to experience in this lifetime. Can you imagine what it’d be like to know that you were going to prison for a very long time? Oy.
If a parent waterboards his or her child and gets charged with child abuse and the prosecution says the parent tortured the child, wouldn’t the parent have to respond, “Waterboarding is not torture. The U.S. government says so?”
If you could meet three famous people who were alive during the 20th century, who would you meet? I’d choose Churchill, Hitler, and Reagan. If you asked me to answer this question when I was in the 8th grade, I would have made sure Kathy Ireland was on the list.
To the gentleman on the Metro who spent four stops trying to excavate a booger from your nose, if nothing else, props to you for pursuing your mission, especially after you noticed that I was staring at you.
It’s only Wednesday? Really? [Frown face.]

If I could meet the 3 people, one of them would definitely be Benjamin Cardozo. Does that make me a huge nerd?
And I don't think Rudy will make it. Because of his lisp. The American people won't elect a President with a lisp.

OK, you tricked me into reading this. Started off with a bait of food and by the time I realized that there was not a morsel in sight...well, anyway no reason to frown. At my age it only brings on wrinkles.
My last 15 years in the US were in DC and if you were in private practice I may have worked for you. :) Occasionally peek into the campaign but mostly, I wonder if there will be another exceptionally fine shindig in Budapest during election night as there was in 2004. Perhaps I should begin organizing one, just to make sure. :)
Somehow all topics culminate in food.

Thanks. That was a stubborn booger.

I hate Wolf Blitzer. That being said, I think you need to spice up your oatmeal - brown sugar and raisins add tons of personality!

1. One of my great-grandparents
2. Laura Ingalls Wilder
3. Einstein--but I'd want him to stick his tongue out on me. That would be awesome.
