- Is there any question that Tina Fey is smarter and more talented than the real Sarah Palin?

- I’d rather do Sarah though.

- I have no love loss for man-boobs Mickelson. His fat ass proves golf is a game, not a sport.

- Katy Perry has the best set of tits going right now! She knows it too! Call me before you get married - I’m hot, never cold!

- Can you smell that?

- D-Bag of the Week
For awhile there, as with McCain, I liked Newt Gingrich, he was actually starting to sound and act reasonable. But now he’s back in the game and playing it like a pro. Like McCain, he has made the mistake of glorifying the biggest abberation in American History, Sarah Palin. By calling her “important”, he became the undoubted douchebag of the week.

- 80% of people who declare bankruptcy due to medical bills HAD insurance when they filed. Harsh truth.

- The teabaggers can do just that: teabag me.

- The movement needs to locate people who can spell. Seen their signs? It’s hilarious…and illiterate.

- High alcohol beer finally hits US!

- I’m already sick of 3D movies and have no real interest in 3D TV. LIFE is already in 3D, I need two-dimensional to escape it. Is 3D for everyday usage or for the occassional thrill? I mean, I love roller coasters but don’t want one in my backyard.

- Remember NIMBY? Not In My Back Yard, lol

- One of my recent favorite movies has become The Assasination of Jesse James with Brad Pitt and the little Affleck. Long but effectively so in a weird way, as if to mimic the pace of life in those times.

- Andrew Jackson refused to shine a British officers shoes during the Revolutionary War and was hit on the hand and head with a sword at age 14.   Had the scars and injury his entire life.

- Financial reform must happen. Wall Street didn’t learn a thing and is doing it all over again. We have to admit, finally, that greed cannot self-regulate.

-The Dutch pay $150 a month for care that is twice as good as ours. For the country, health care runs less than $3000 per capita compared to almost $7000 for the U.S. Why do we pay so damn much for care we’re not getting?

- American Sphinx, the story of Thomas Jefferson’s character is a fascinating read. Jefferson was complex and loyal, contradictory and shrewd.

- Anybody against the new nuclear treaty is playing politics. Period. It calls for a one-third reduction, leaving us MORE than enough nukes to destroy the world a thousand times over. And any Republican against is turning their back on the Gipper…

- Quote of the Week
“A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. And no matter how great the obstacles may seem, we must never stop our efforts to reduce the weapons of war. We must never stop at all until we see the day when nuclear arms have been banished from the face of this Earth.” - Ronald Reagan, 1984, China

– I have a deep love for Starship Troopers. The combo of cheese and killer effects and perfect casting make it a joy everytime.

- No to health care reform, no to financial reform, no to energy bill. Obama just needs them to keep saying “no” until November.

- The Twins won’t win the Central. The loss of Joe Nathan was just too great for them to overcome…in a new and GLORIOUS stadium. Target Field is something special people should come to Minneapolis to see. Joe Mauer is worth seeing live too.

- The comedic genius of our time is unquestionably Sasha Baron Cohen. Bruno hacks and attacks those who are too outwardly anti-gay but ALSO those who are too outwardly gay, and hurt their cause overall. True brilliance.

- I live and work in affluent environments and I am seeing good signs on the economy. From my angle.

- Job creation should focus on a national initiative like building a high-speed rail system by a certain date. Put nationalism, literally, to work.

- I highly recommend reading Erik Larson’s Devil in the White City. Creepy good…

- Ft. Lauderdale is underrated as a tourist getaway, especially since they dumped the spring breakers. Recommend the new W on Ft. Lauderdale beach.

- Never thought I’d say this: I miss Northwest Airlines. The transition to Delta has been smooth but overall seems like a downgrade in the service area. Especially in first.

- Recently stayed at the Kingpin Suite at the Palms Hotel. It houses two full sized bowling alleys and complete scoring system along with an unreal view of Vegas, a full bar, large screens everywhere and two massive bedrooms. One of them has a shower that overlooks all of Sin City. See my iphone shot above of the alleys.

- Quote of the Week
“Many, if not all, of the positions that have angered liberals since he (Obama) entered the White House line up with his positions then (in the campaign), including his stubborn and futile faith in the prospect of bipartisanship in Washington.” Frank Rich, NYT

Job loss/gain graph with Bush in red, Obama in blue.

- Did you know?
Grover Cleveland served two terms as President…non-consecutively. He won then lost then won it back four years later. Cleveland was also the last Prez to be married in the White House and also last to have a child in the White House. His daughter Ruth, a national sensation called Baby Ruth, is the actual inspiration behind the candy bar.
