Sunday, Monday, Happy Days

· I’m thinking of taking steroids to improve my hitting power for the Pretty Damn Lame baseball league. Right now, I have infield-fly-rule power. If I ‘roid up, I might be able to attain routine-flyball-to-left power.

· I’m a little concerned about the abruptness of the plot line in Sunday’s episode of ‘Entourage’ in which Vincent Chase’s agent, Ari Gold (played by the hilarious Jeremy Piven) invokes the nuclear option and breaks away from his agency to try to form a new one. It feels like it was too much happening in such a short time frame, and perhaps they should have allowed it to build for a few more episodes.

Hopefully, the producers wanted to rush through that part so that they could get to some funnier stuff in upcoming episodes. I hope people don’t refer to Sunday’s episode as the point when the show ‘jumped the shark.’

· Biloxi, MS Mayor A.J. Holloway described Hurricane Katrina as “our tsunami.” Get some fucking perspective, you stupid hick. The December tsunami in the Indian Ocean killed OVER 200,000 PEOPLE, while less than 100 people have died as a result of Katrina.

It’s tragic when anyone dies (except maybe right wing wackos), and the death toll from Katrina could rise, but let’s not be ridiculous Let’s leave all the stupid, hyperbolic statements to me.

I'm curious if, when San Francisco experiences the next big earthquake and Gavin Newsome refers to it as "our Pompeii" or "our Krakatoa" you will refer to him as a stupid hick. You'd best not turn your back on the South, or you will lose the remaining readership that tenuously clings on despite your increasingly strident left wing rhetoric. You show a callous disregard for life and a typical Blue State attitude towards parts of the country that you don't take the time to try and understand. Which is exactly why, in spite of the fact that Bush has the lowest poll numbers in recorded history (even US Grant wouldn't have taken them as lightly), the Democrats still don't have a lock on the White House for 2008. How about for your next road trip hopping on 1-85 in Richmond and heading South until you hit the Gulf of Mexico? Try it, you might learn something.

As for jumping the shark, do you know why they use that term? I bet you do...
