Aruba, Jamaica, the First one Might-Ah Kill-Yuh, and other Random Thoughts Floating in my Head
Yesterday, after nearly two and a half years, Aruba prosecutors ended their investigation of the disappearance and presumed death of Natalee Holloway. Jordan Van Der Sloot, one of the three young men suspected of being involved in Holloway’s disappearance, told the media, “I think I’ve been portrayed unfairly. I’ve been portrayed as a murderer and rapist. I’m really just a rapist.” Okay, so I added the last sentence. Still how my heart doesn’t ache for Jordan V (unless he’s innocent, in which case, he’s totally getting a raw deal. But he seems about as innocent as O.J.).
I attended an ethics training seminar last week about what I can and cannot do as a federal government attorney. At the end of the class, the teacher asked us if we had any questions. I felt like raising my hand and saying, “Do I have to get an ethics opinion before I take a dump or is that one of the few things I CAN do without asking permission?”
According to Drudge and the National Enquirer, John Edwards might have a lovechild. Somehow this doesn’t seem like good news for the Edwards campaign two weeks before the Iowa Caucuses. I don’t think Midwestern voters will like the idea that Edwards impregnated a woman while his wife is battling cancer. Then again, it IS the Democratic party, so you never know!
What’s going on with Larry Craig these days? More importantly, if you’re a tap shoe manufacturer, don’t you have to consider hiring Craig as your spokesman? That would be the best ad campaign EVER!
I haven’t been skiing in more than a decade. This seems wrong.
Michael Douglas is the new voice of the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. In other words, he’s the guy who says, “This is the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.” I think Douglas is a phenomenal actor, one of the best out there. However, his voiceover for the NBC Nightly News is just awful. NBC would have been better off hiring some Asian immigrant who barely speaks English. At least then the network might have gotten a good Fried Rice recipe out of it. Or, as the announcer would say, "Fwied wice!"
Wow, three straight days of entries. Look who has gotten his blogging act together this week! Too bad with quantity there's not necessarily quality!

I was on the elliptical trainer at the gym when they introduced Michael Douglas as the new voiceover. It was so disconcerting and bad I almost fell off the damn machine.

I didn't know Michael Douglas needed more money. Maybe the taxes and cost of living in Bermuda are higher than I expected.

As an Asian American, I object to your imitation of one of my people saying "fried rice."
Everyone knows it would sound more like "flied lice."
