Quickies


It dawned on us last night that Ted Kennedy's endorsement of Obama proves that Clinton Inc. hasn’t lost its campaigning acumen completely.

The only thing we can attribute to the relatively precipitous drop in the Super Bowl betting line from 14-1/2 pts. last week to the current 11-1/2 pts. is Tom Brady’s injured right foot. Whatever the severity of the injury, we believe it won’t make an iota of difference to the most immobile yet elusive quarterbacks we’ve ever seen. We reserve the right to change our mind right up until kick-off but we’re liking the Pats and laying the 11-1/2. Oh… one more reason for our boy Dick Styles to swoon for Tom Brady: He’s encouraging everyone to see Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth”

San Diego has apparently done something to rile the Almighty: it just seems to us that over the past year or so an inordinate amount of rainy days have fallen on the weekend. Oh yeah… that something would be City Hall.

Come and keep your comrade warm. Story here about all the smokin' Russian babes that have been unleashed upon the planet iwo of models and tennis players the past decade or so and the reason for it. Seems pretty obvious to us: prior to the collapse of the Soviet empire, Russian and Eastern Bloc hotness was on lock-down. This article, however, takes a more nuanced approach arguing from a market-driven perspective, i.e., there wasn’t a demand for Russian babes. The hell there wasn’t. Interesting comment thread… one of which argues that steppe betties owe their beauty to a 100% organic diet.

Well… maybe we’ll give this “face of the illegal immigrant movement” thing another shot. Flor Crisostomo, a 28 yr. old Mexican illegal has taken up residence in a Chicago church setting up a showdown with Federal immigration authorities. Of course, she wants to follow in the footsteps of Elvira Arellano who attempted this grandstanding last year (our thoughts at the time, here) only to be nabbed in L.A. and shipped back home to Mexico (free of charge!) where she has been agitating for the cause of illegal immigration and succeeding only in revealing the hopelessly screwed-up political and economic situation that exists in Mexico. Story here. Flor, are you ready for your close-up?

Wow, maybe we need to start granting amnesty to Russian women instead of Flor from Mexico. Wow again :(

Cold rain in San Diego, snow down to 4000ft. Artic icecap refreezing. Maybe Tom Brady should stop breathing out all those carbon dioxide green house gasses and contributing to this global warming.

And it looks like Hillary and McCain. The shrill fishwife vs the "keep off my lawn" old man. It's going to make me swear off politics again.

Lift tickets on Wednesdays $19 at Snow Valley. Taking the boys tomnmorow.

Its shaping up as such. I'm currently trying to goad... I mean talk B-Daddy into a wager on this potential match-up. I'm even willing give (percentage) points on McCain.

You guys be safe up there.
