Miscellaneous Thoughts

If you watch this year's World Series of Poker and one of your thoughts is "Thank God TJ Clothier got rid of that awful perm" - then chances are that you watch too much poker on TV... Terrell Owens basically says that Jeff Garcia is gay in the next issue of Playboy. Personally I think TO protests too much. He's a single guy with no illegitimate children in the NFL and this summer he caused a stink in Philly because he wanted to wear skin tight lycra shorts instead of the loose fitting shorts all the other players wear. Yup - I think he's protesting too much... Do you remember Kerry's speech at the DNC where he mentions a woman fighting breast cancer who had to keep working through her chemotherapy because otherwise she'd lose her health insurance? Well it turns out that story is false. Doesn't anyone at Kerry's campaign check facts? Every day there is something new with those guys. I swear this is the most poorly run campaign I have ever seen. Did Dennis Kucinich's people take over leadership positions in the campaign or something?... Can you recall when Toronto Blue Jays manager Tim Johnson was fired for lying about his service (or lack of service) in Vietnam? Is there a parallel between the lies Johnson told and Kerry's serial lies about being in Cambodia? Is it more important for a MLB manager to be trustworthy than a Presidential candidate or do we just expect politicians to lie?...
