Letterman vs Palin

Good grief. This Letterman joke and Palin overreacting is getting ridiculous. The Chicago Tribune site calls out for Letterman to offer a formal apology. His aired apology pretty much covered it. The joke was a joke. Palin needs to get over it. Her remarks to Matt Lauer this morning were out of line and typical of a redneck getting all het up over nothing.

I’m SOOOO glad that she is not our Vice President. I hate to think that this white trash hussy could have been one heartbeat away from actually being President and shaming us all. I’m not even a political activist. But my goodness, don’t you agree that this woman and her trashy family are a train wreck?

Did They Laugh?

Is it a joke if no one laughs? If the joke is on you and everyone laughs, is it on the person telling the joke? Or is it on you for giving the joke substance?

Baby Blog

One of my girlfriends is expecting a baby in August and I want to buy her some baby gifts. It is getting harder and harder to find unique baby gifts that will be useful and appreciated. But I am still searching.

Jenny started writing a blog and although it is not a day by day accounting of her pregnancy, it is a nice journal that she will be able to look back on and read, years down the road. I think that is really cool. I hope she keeps writing and adds some pictures of the baby after she is born. I think you can even export everything you’ve written and print it out as a scrapbook or diary. That would be unique!

Cable On Demand

Tonight I discovered the “on demand” feature of my cable TV serivce. I usually watch things according to their scheduled broadcast times, but tonight I was bored with repeats and nothing good to watch. So I tried the on demand button and found all kinds of things to entertain myself!

I watched 2 oldie but goodie movies that I have not seen in years and really enjoyed the way I could start the show at a time convenient to me and not be a slave to the schedule that some Hollywood network schmucks decided was best for them and their advertisers. Take THAT, Hollywood executives!

Coffe Shop Chat

This morning I arrived downtown early for an appointment so I stopped by a coffee shop just a few doors down and had a nice cup of coffee. It was extremely quiet in the coffee shop – everyone but me had a laptop on the table in front of them and were busy clicking and tapping keys.

Can You Hear Me Now

My girlfriend got a new Cricket cell phone and I tried to warn her that those phones aren’t good in this area. The Cricket network does cover this area very well – lots of places have dead zones. It’s really frustrating to be talking to someone on your Cricket phone and then with no warning the call gets disconnected because you drove over a hill and lost the signal. Sometimes the calls get dropped when you simply walk across the room. She says she got it for emergencies, but if you have an emergency in a dead zone then it’s no help after all. I think she wasted her money on that cricket phone.
