The Curse of Bennifer
HBO has a new special out now called The Curse of the Bambino . It’s narrated by Ben Affleck. You know, it’s bad enough this guy uses the insinuation he’s getting married to Jennifer Lopez to get some cheap heat for Gigli(Yeah, that worked), but to listen to this whiny, simpering little chump drone on and on about the Boston Red Sox is simply TOO much.
Now I’m sure your average Bostononians, say a Moniker and Collar, sympathize with this mook, but for crying out loud. He acts as if no other team in baseball has a recored for futility
Excuse me Benjamin, ever hear of the Cubs or their neighbor to the north, the Brewers?
So Red Sox fans, go get some haad licka, maybe have some budded con, treat yourself to a hoodsie and boy gawd, keep hoping and praying for that World Series.
Maybe then you’ll quit your whining…
No Thanks, I’ll Pay For It Myself
Today, I started the process to get my health insurance in order. Not going to say who it is right now (don’t wish to jinx it), but suffice to say, I’ll be paying for it MYSELF. Sound like I’m gloating? Not really. I just get flashbacks talking with some Canadians at Right Thinking about the “greatness” of their system. I’m more than happy to pay for it, even if I’ve not had any serious illnesses since my childhood( very sick puppy I was).
I mean really, I enjoy the idea I can do this (purchase insurance on my own) and not have to ask the feds for permission to see a doctor or go on some 6 month waiting list. No thanks. I like the free market way.
Damn, it’s hot…
I had to go pay my water bill this morning, and I drove past a bank downtown with the time/temp display. At 10:34am, it was already 97 degrees (37C). It’s gonna top three digits here today.
Again. (It was 104 yesterday at about 4 pm.)
“Uniquely Qualified”?
In other news, the entire list of Emmy winners can be found here.
Some Highlights: Wanda Sykes was annoying, Bill Cosby was gracious and funny, Jon Stewart has become a Bill Maher-Lite ("Same annoying personality, but with less than half the wit"), and The West Wing Wins. (Again.)
Tony Shalhoub won a Golden Globe for his portrayal as Adrian Monk, and won an Emmy last night. (Good for him, he deserves it.)
Same for Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini). Do the Teamsters get to vote on the Emmys?
It’s going to be a busy (and long) day for me, so I’ll be back later, and as often as I can.
