Girls Go Crazy for a Sharp Dressed Bear

Random thoughts while wondering what ever happened to Bill Voss:

Too Much Time on My Hands Dept. pt. 2: Since no one is in Miami right now except the beautiful and the elderly, the media once again is filling us with feature stories to fan the flames before the flash fire next week.  Today's offerings include: The Bears lack of colorful personalities; Interviews with proud offspring; Wise words from past sages and the proper attire for participants.

Children of the Corn Dept.: More kind words for the capitol of Hoosierdom.

Survey Says Dept.: I think whoever put this survey together needs a drug test.  Seriously.  Even I wouldn't rank the Bears that high.

Social Calendar Dept.: Apparently, it interferes with their drinking.

Keeping up with the Jones' Dept.: Nice to know the next coach of the Dallas Cowboys won't have to worry about hiring his stafff.  Coaches will be appointed before any further questioning.


Ride off Into the Sunset Dept.: Mr. Martin, please remove your hands from the wheel and slowly back out of the car.  Apparently, some people don't know when it's time to find another career.  Just ask Princess about me.

Doomed to Failure Dept.: In every competition there is someone who finishes in first place and someone who finishes in last place.  Meet someone who will finish in last place.

Watch Out for the Greyhound Dept.: Scooter, Bus.  Bus, Scooter.

Rear Ended Dept.: No truth to the rumor that Dennis Haysbert arrived on the scene with a scepter doling out accident forgiveness.

Retro Has No Shame Dept.: Hey now, hey now, we dreamed it's over.  And then this.  I'm holding out for the FYC reunion tour.

Royal Pain Dept.: Bleep save the Queen.

Universal Truth Dept.: In this morning's Chicago tribune, Bob Flottman included this paragraph in his story about the floundering Chicago Black Hawks:

"There is no more important position in a professional sports franchise than general manager. If the GM gets it wrong too many times, the greatest coach in the world won't be able to save him."

The same principle applies to radio, Bob.

I Don't Give a Damn What You Think You're Entitled To Dept.: Juan Pardo tell Maria what she's won! Maria, you've won a one way ticket to Guadalajara courtesy of your friends at the I-N-S! Congratulations! 

And, here's the stunner.  After being denied the car because she had NO green card and NO social security number (which, by the way, a radio station must obtain for prizes valued over $500) this woman has the stones  to hire a lawyer and sue the radio station.  When the lawyer for SBS, the station's parent company, threatened to expose her to immigration authorities,  she fled the jurisdiction so as not to get caught.  She claims that the entire situation is "unjust".

There is a similar story where a illegal from China won $25,000 in a Toys 'R Us contest and was denied claim for the same reason.  After pressure from Chinese advocacy groups, Toys R Us rolled over, even though the rules clearly stated that the winner had to be a legal U.S. citizen. 

Our porous policy toward protecting our borders lets hundreds of illegals in each day. It's now compounded by illegals claiming that they have the same rights and privileges as U.S. citizens and that our rules (like having a social security card, paying taxes on a prize, etc.) don't apply to them

While we ignore this problem because we are compassionate and not prudent, it will, if we do not do something now, bite us in the backside a lot sooner than Al Gore's ice cap will melt.

Cop a Buzz Dept.:
Give it up for Dr. Robert Bohannon, soon to be the hero of law enforcement officials everywhere.
