Salmagundi Time (!) Vol. 2
How many weeks of her life did Oprah set aside to take all the cover shots for “O” magazine?
In medieval movies involving war (a redundancy, I suppose), aren’t the use of bows-and-arrows a tad overrated? I mean, wouldn’t it take like 7-8 arrows to kill a guy unless you hit him in the heart? I’ll take a sword or ball-and-chain, thank you.
How is that we live in a society where the talented Heath Ledger’s death lasts 48 hours in the media cycle and the talentless Britney’s mental health issues get daily coverage?
Bob Knight has been uncommonly committed to aiding his former players in their post-basketball lives, but that positive doesn’t outweigh his inexcusable, outrageous behavior or demeaning treatment of media members over the course of his career.
The Giants beat the Patriots, as I predicted. My projected score was way off, but the margin of victory was exactly right. Give me some sugar.
It is time for Tallahassee, nay, the world to discover Michigan lefts and implement them swiftly and forcefully. Nobody should have to sit at a stop light for more than a minute for any reason, ever. I have never witnessed the inefficiency that is a Tallahassee traffic lights.
If Eli gets sacked on the third and long miracle to Tyree, are we still talking about how amazing the Giants pass rush was? How amazing Eli was? The post-game spin on big games by the media is a tad much, no? The Pats had three sacks of their own and Wes Welker went for 11/100+.
Does anyone really think the ‘72 Dolphins were better than the ‘07 Pats? Seriously. Does anyone find it pathetic that Mercury Morris’ 2008 self-worth seems to be rooted in a role he played on a football team that existed 35 years ago? That he so thoroughly enjoys an undefeated team being defeated? Was it better that the Pats lost so that we don’t have to suffer through a generation of Pats fans talking about their ‘07 team?
Despite all of the haranguing about the order of the state primaries (which I mostly agree with), how much more of a problem is it that presidential candidates who get 5-10% of the vote or more can drop out at any particular point? How much different would this year’s primaries be if Edwards, Thompson, Huckabee, or Paul dropped out at a different point? These blocks of voters could completely turn how the race unfolds. Don’t ask me for a solution, but this seems to me an underrepresented issue.
If you still weren’t sure, Bill Belichick thinks he is above reproach.
