Monday Morning Musings

1) I am worried about Richard Holbrooke and about what his illness would mean for Obama, the US, and the *cough* War on Terror.

2) With the State of the Union coming up in a couple of weeks, I really think that President Obama should call Speaker Boehner a "bitch" and then mention that "(his) pimp hand is strong." (This has nothing to do with the race of the President, and more with the collected yet angry man the President has been showing combined with Speaker Boehner's ability to cry at will.)

3) I took yesterday off from any type of workout because I was wonderfully sore. Maybe it was from dropping a 400 lbs. entertainment center on my shoulder, or maybe it was a result of the whiplash of Friday night, but my body needed a rest. I decided to do a light weight workout this morning, and it killed my shoulder. While I was doing it, this song popped up on shuffle. It made me laugh with a detached irony.

4) For a long time, I found A Softer World annoying, but over the past couple of weeks, I have found it funny and insightful.

5) I reiterate, when the Giants play the Vikings (at Ford Field in Detroit) (7:20 pm kickoff, on Direct TV and locally on WXXA), I want Justin Tuck to separate Brett Favre's head from his shoulders, because I really believe that the roof collapsed because of Brett's streak.

6) I came across a book from a couple of years ago that I loved when I read it. I know that I encouraged someone to read it (maybe Paige?) Anyway, if you are looking for an interesting read, check out Grey.

7) For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to watch Jon Stewart's return on September 20, 2001, his first show after September 11th, at 2:00 am. It was not.
