Two superficials don’t make a right

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

But still, funny in a mean way nonetheless:
(a) Miss Lohan is much hotter than Mr. Paust… or at least, when they both wear their little mouse/bunny ear hats.

(b) damn that must have been a big placenta.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about then good for you, because that means you haven’t ruined your lunch in the last few days. (that said, I do confess I’m kinda looking forward to MI:III.)

  

The Bushometer just rolled … under?

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

For those of you who didn’t see “The Colbert Report” tonight, we are now down to only 999 days of the Bush Administration.

And let me just add, “Damn, you go, Arlen Specter!” Apparently he’s for looking into this whole gas price thing and assessing a “windfall tax” to the gas companies.

Now we just need to get rid of the shithead that we also have in the Senate.

  

Sport observations

(1) Arsenal’s “win” over Villarreal in the Champions’ League semifinals (1-0 on aggregate) wasn’t pretty, but they owe it all to their keeper, who saved a penalty shot in the 88th minute (i.e. with two minutes left). Given the chances Villarreal had, I’m certain they would have prevailed in extra time - just like the Steelers winning in January, the best team doesn’t always win.

(2) Curt Schilling is a media/attention whore and his grandstanding gets on my nerves, but fundamentally he play the game the way it should be played and really cares. He certainly didn’t have his best stuff in tonight’s game, and gave up a couple big hits on weak pitches, but he still managed to keep the Sox in the game long enough for Manny and Ortiz to win the game. His “f***!” could be lipread from a mile away when he saw Tito coming to take him out (after 130+ pitches), and it was great. Get paid $10mil a year and you’re still pissed when you don’t get to finish the job, that’s cool.

(3) Gratuitous Jonathan Papelbon photo, just for fun.
