Random Thoughts: Dad's Day Edition
Random thoughts while wondering whatever happened to "Sweet" Lou Rodriguez:
- Captain! I detect faint life signs. I'll scan them again Sunday.
- Kenny Williams is now holding an open casting call for the 2008 Chicago White Sox. All interested parties including power hitting corner outfielders, middle infielders and experienced relief pitchers should send their materials to kwilliams@imgettingreadytohaveafiresale.com. Depending on the mood of our Chairman, no reasonable offer will be refused.
- What's going on in the NHL? First, Darryl Sutter hires whackjob Mike Keenan to coach the Flames after they damn near pulled an upset in the first round. Then, rumors out of Canada are that John Muckler, the GM of the Eastern Conference champion Ottawa Senators is out. Yet, Canada thinks we're crazy.
- Blackhawks GM Dale Tallon pulls the trigger on a trade. Unfortunately, he should have made this trade six years ago.
- Ralph Wilson says you'll get his football team when you pry his cold, dead fingers from it. Charlton Heston nods in approval.
- Kobe Bryant tells Jerry Buss that he still wants out of LA because he feels the need to go to polarize some other NBA Franchise. I say, trade him to the Knicks. Bryant and Isiah Thomas deserve each other.
- For all the crap in the media he takes for being an ass, Coach Satan actually has this one right. Why waste your time eating rubber chicken at meaningless banquets when you could be doing something productive? Saban knows damn well that most kids in Alabama want to play there, so selling the university to in-state kids is not a huge priority. What he really wants to do is get those out of state recruits from Florida, Texas, Louisiana and California who are the difference between winning your conference and competing for a national championship. In that regard, the dude has it nailed.
- An overambitious prosecutor pushed a case with marginal evidence for personal gain and advancement. Yes, this happens every day in America. But not everyone gets caught. If you do get caught, you not only lose your job, but you feel the wrath of other lawyers who are upset that you were unethical and that you drew attention to the fact that lawyers are primarily scumbags.
- If you are too unaware to know that Whoppers, Big Macs and triples with cheese can clog your arteries and make you look like the Michelin man, then your government shouldn't have to waive it's hand in front of your face and tell you. For the government to be in the diet business at all is a huge waste of taxpayer money. If the citizens of New York were that obsessed with calories, they would elect Jenny Craig governor.
- But wait, there's more! Ronco goes bankrupt. G Rumor has it the bankruptcy judge will let them settle their debt in 1000 easy payments of $3,900.99 and if they do, he'll throw in a set of steak knives absolutely free.
- Why is it when we actually enforce our immigration laws, we are made to feel dirty and ashamed?
- The fact that the Jefferson Memorial is sinking only leads me to believe that Tommy's ghost is a little ticked off at the state of affairs in our country right now.
- According to the good book itself, there is nothing wrong with going "biblical" on someone.
- If you go to E-Harmony bring your bible and your Visa card. Because E-Harmony won't touch you with a ten foot pole if you haven't accepted Jesus as your savior and they don't take American Express.
- Happy Father's day to the toughest job a man could love: Dad. (He's the guy out cutting the grass right now.) While the kids wonder why Dad is always asleep in the recliner, he's working three jobs to keep the mortgage paid and the lights and cable on. So, this father's day, I salute my Dad, Ace, who taught me that a measure of a man is in his ability to protect and provide for his family and that everything else is just for bragging rights. Happy father's day, Ace.
Hey Chip... greetings from Nashville. Email me when you get a chance...
