Red Sox – They keep blowing games they should win. Tonight, Mike Cameron, who should just bag the rest of the season and get his surgery, missed a catch in the outfield and blew two great chances at the plate to drive in runs, including a pathetic final at-bat of the game when he watched a pitch right over the center of the plate go by to strike out with bases loaded in a one run game. Sox left 13 men on base. Just pitiful.
Dem. Rep. Anthony Weiner – While I normally do not condone hysteria in public speaking, it was refreshing to see someone in Congress put the GOP morons in their place. Weiner said, in effect, “Sit down, shut up, and vote yes or no.” Which brings me to…
The GOP – Who should be deeply ashamed for trying to side-step a vote to aid those who responded to the 9/11 attacks.
Amendments – While I’m on a rant about politics, it’s time to do away with the practice of adding pork barrel amendments to every damn piece of legislation that comes up. Make the bill focus on one thing only. If you want money for something else, start a new bill. Think of the money we’ll save when idiotic, pork barrel expenditures are forced to stand on their own merit (or lack thereof).
Red Sox – Before the All-Star Break, they found ways to win. Since the ASB, they’ve been finding ways to lose.
Shirley Sherrod Fiasco – Plenty of fail to go around on this one, except for Sherrod herself. You’d think after the Henry Louis Gates screwup that Obama’s administration would have learned to get all the facts before passing judgment.
Red Sox Management – Enough with the AAA guys and trying to reclaim has-beens. Get some real pitching, please.
Cadillac, MI – We’ve been here several times before, but this is my first visit in the summer. The town is totally different. All decked out with flowers and very much alive with festivals and folks walking around and lots going on at the lake. The weather has been perfect, too.
Tea Party – The sooner they crash and burn, the better. Just hope they don’t cause too much damage on the way down.
GOP Whiners – Ok, I know it’s just childish tit-for-tat because the Dems blasted W for his excessive time away from the Oval Office. But c’mon, Obama deserves a bit of time away and it’s not like he’s completely isolated. Someday maybe the GOP will find something constructive to say. Maybe.
Red Sox -Despite the drubbing they gave Toronto tonight, they’re showing the effects of the SRO Disabled List. Four straight losses, including a sweep in Tampa Bay, have the Sox back in 3rd place. Still, considering that they’re playing with half a team of AAA players, they’re not doing too bad.
LeBron James – The King of Ego.
Adobe Photoshop CS5 – What a piece of programming. Soon there will be no such thing as photographic evidence because it is so easy to manipulate images. You can make whole castles disappear, or tidy up a poorly exposed shot like the cafe in Salzburg with the ugly umbrella and annoying railing.
Red Sox -The injuries continue. The Captain, Jason Varitek, is out with virtually the same injury that took out Pedroia; a broken bone in the foot as a result of a foul hit. It’s surreal how many injuries have plagued this team this year. And still they continue winning and are a half game out of first place. Amazing.
Michael Steele – The man is a textbook psychological nutcase. And he leads the GOP. Somehow fitting.
GoDaddy – So easy to set up new URLs and websites.
Facebook – I really have a love/hate relationship with it. But it is cool how it brings you into contact with old friends.
