How much more love can I have for Bill Clinton? He's just cut a deal to make HIV drugs more affordable for children around the world, especially in third world countries. That's noble.
He's almost even better not as a president. I'm sure people will say that about GW, but for completely different reasons.
I think it should be a family ticket in '08 - Hill for prez, Bill for V-P.

And by the way....
Paris Hilton is a skanky homewrecker.
But that's not really news...neither is the fact that Brit herself has had her ups and downs. But come on....nothing good comes of being friends with that lazy-eyed ho.

When I wake up in the mornin', the alarm gives out a warnin', I don't think I'll ever make it on time...
Come on, you all know those lyrics! It's from "Saved By the Bell!" We all watched it on Saturday mornings. Best. Show. EVER.
Well, I just might have to check out the new musical this weekend.

Rid yourself of junk mail!
Greendimes has an utterly brilliant idea. Considering I am in a constant state of poor, I am considering throwing them $36 a year to deal with my junk mail and plant a tree instead. Especially because yesterday I got some random sports equipment catalog, courtesy of my name being sold to this company from some random list. At least spam doesn't waste paper.
I'm also sick of shredding all that crap, especially credit card applications. I get like 4 a day.
Give the gift of green!

It's gonna rain on my parade
Well, the parade is out. The Thanksgiving trifecta, me, Jason, and Lisa, were going to venture to 76th and Central Park West to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, per tradition for us New York Oprhans (as I affectionately call us). Last week, all was looking good, weather-wise. 52 and sunny. NICE. Yeah, not so much anymore. It's gonna rain all damn day.
I'm a little broken up, but not overly so. I have seen this parade LIVE 5 times now. And I just won't be able to deal in the freezing rain, with umbrellas. I don't want to lose an eye - I have cooking to do.
So instead, Jason and I will sleep in after our Thanksgiving Eve drinking night out, and perhaps watch some of the parade on the couch in our PJs with some caffeine, to gear up for the day of drinking, movie-watching, and all around gluttony that awaits us at our gracious host Lisa's apartment.
I am so very excited. Especially for the holiday movies. And did I mention the drinking?
Happy Turkey to all!

The shit finally sticks
Finally, the disgusting fembot Judith Regan jumps the shark, after NewsCorp. cancels the farce she called a book, O.J.'s pseudo-hypothetical "confession."
Now that's justice!
Now that's justice!
Blame It On the Rain
On yesterday's date in history (November 19):
1990 - The pop duo Milli Vanilli was stripped of its Grammy Award because other singers sung the songs on their "Girl You Know It's True" album.
I still have the tape. We had a little Friday afternoon sing-a-along resurgence in college with a few of the tunes also. Good times.

Rivalry Rages On
A good piece on NPR this morning about the clash of the Titans this weekend.
Also, my mom informs me she had the joy of listening to OSU fight songs all morning on our local radio station (my parents are, unfortunately, transplanted Michiganders living in Ohio - unfortunately for sports and political reasons). I mean, come on! Their fight songs aren't even that good. And they totally stole "Louie, Louie" as their "theme song."
And pathetically enough, dotting the "i" is the most orgasmic moment an OSU tuba player can have in his life. I mean, after that, your life is done. Lame!
POSTSCRIPT: I realized my mistake last week in claiming "Louie Louie" was the theme song. I stand corrected, as my sis-in-law Sarah pointed out, it's "Hang on Sloopy." Then they do that "O-HI-O" thing after the refrain. Similar to "Cherry Cherry" and the LetsGetDrunkblahblah chant.

Those Scary Buckeyes
My avid Michigan fan Lisa sent me something from her mother this morning, detailing cautions that the University of Michigan is passing along to those attending the big game at Ohio State in Columbus this weekend. She writes:
"Did you hear about the email that U of M sent out? They're urging people not to drive cars with Michigan license plates, urging them not to wear any maize and blue, and to ignore any provocations. In addition to that, Ohio State is organizing volunteers to escort the Michigan fans from the tailgate area to the stadium and back. U of M campus police are going to Columbus this year to protect the Michigan fans--who have been given their cell phone numbers and are being told not to wait, but to call 911 at the first sign of trouble."
This sportwriter in Ann Arbor, and in Detroit detail those scary Bucks fans even further.
And to add my own footnote, we were practically thrown into a brawl 2 years ago at an Upper East Side bar that had been Michigan-friendly the previous year. But in 2004, the OSU alumni association had decided to make that bar one of their "OSU bars," thereby letting all OSU fans know they would be in good company.
While one group sitting next to us (they were older, and therefor a bit more mature) were perfectly fine, reasonable, even nice people, we were mocked, threatened, and goaded just so the Bucks fans could be assholes (as U of M was losing most of the game) and seriously were a bit afraid of what those crazy shits would do to us, whether U of M won or lost. It's just dispicable behavior, and truly unsportsman-like. I find Yankees fans to be of the same vein when I attended a game this summer, bearating a 60-year-old man with profanity for wearing a Tigers hat (which he played off very well and made them look ignorant, as they clearly were).
A good rivalry is fun, but when you start fearing for your life by showing team spirit, there's a bigger problem. Maybe it's because their mascot is a giant HAIRLESS NUT, and they feel inadequate. I guess to be fair, it's poisonous - just like the fans behavior.
Nice necklace, by the way. I've always wanted to hang a bunch of nuts around my neck. But then again, those OSU fans are used to nuts up in their grill.

Down with O.J.
Wow, lots to blog about today!
I guess if you're guilty as sin, it would be pretty easy to write a book about how you killed your ex-wife and her lover.
O.J. is one crazy dispicable shit. But Judith Regan is utterly abhorrant and lives up to her crazy train billing for publishing the book and producing this mini-series. Let's hope it doesn't sell - hasn't he profitted enough from their deaths, not to mention the fact that he got off scot-free?

A Buckeye is a Hairless Nut
For what's turning out to be the biggest game in UM-OSU history (based solely on rankings), I pass along a little joy as we gear up for some old-school Wolverine ass-kicking on Saturday.
Three football fans were on their way to a game when one noticed a foot sticking
out of the bushes by the side of the road. They stopped and discovered a nude
female, dead drunk. Out of respect and propriety, the Michigan fan took off his
cap and placed it over her right breast. The Michigan State fan took off his cap
and placed it over her left breast. Following their lead, the Ohio State fan
took off his cap and placed it over her crotch. The police were called and when
the officer arrived, he conducted his inspection. First, he lifted up the
Michigan cap, replaced it and wrote down some notes. Next, he lifted the
Michigan State cap, replaced it and wrote down some more notes. The officer then
lifted the Ohio State cap, replaced it, then lifted it again, replaced it,
lifted it a third time, and replaced it one last time. The Buckeye fan was
getting upset and finally asked, "What are you, a pervert or something?" "Why do
you keep lifting and looking, lifting and looking? "Well," said the officer.
"I'm confused; normally when I look under a Ohio State hat, I find an asshole."

American Un-Idol
On what was destined to just be one of those awful commutes this morning, where everything was running slow and stupid, of course I had to deal with the world's most confident bad singer.
After waiting for 3 packed trains before finally boarding, I was lucky enough to be just a few seats away from a teenager who clearly thinks he is the next American Idol, since he did not stop singing for the entire, long, slow, painful 30-minute train ride.
Problem was, he sucked. AND, he couldn't even keep a rhythm - I don't think he could have snapped his fingers to the beat had a gun been pointed to his head. I have new respect for subway muscians, who, while often annoying and loud, at least can hold a tune (especially those mariachi guys, they're my guilty pleasure!). Granted this kid wasn't looking for cash, just a major amount of attention, but please, not at 9 AM on a crowded 6 train.

Crazier than a shithouse rat, Part 3

From Sea to Shining Sea (until they tear a hole in an oil tanker)
Let's just discuss one of the most under-reported story from the last 2 weeks or so. The fact the Exxon Mobile, in a quarter where gas prices were the highest they've ever been, earned near-record profits of $8.4 billion.
There's a problem here. But I'm sure there's absolutely no WAY that the oil lobby is putting dimes in the GOPs pockets. Why, that would seem unethical, no?
