Is it just me - or has the physical disfigurement among athletes (football players, basketball players, and the like) become way too prevalent ? 'talking about tattoos - seemingly displayed all over the place - much like grafitti on an urban wall - or most railroad cars.

Imagine the conversation that will surely take place years later:

"Dad, what's with all those ugly pictures all over you ?"

"Well, son, back when I was an athlete, we did it to advertise our manhood - or something - I guess..."

Hopefully, this fad will soon fade - unlike the tatoos themselves....

The larger the voting majority, the greater the arrogance.
Living proof of this: N. Pelosi

Helen Thomas IS dead. Right ?

So, the Obama coronation is gonna cost 3 times that of the Bush Inaugural.....Hmmmmm, So where's the righteous bleating of the so-called mainstream media on THAT ?? Remember their moral outrage 4 years ago ? I'm tellin' ya, sometimes the hypocrisy is even bigger than one would reasonably assume......

Were it not for their spelling, aardvarks would be virtually unknown.....

Hmmmm.....Geithner's "serious problems" with immigration documentation and taxes are likely to be overlooked this time, are they ? 'course, there'd be a firestorm of righteous outrage by the so-called 'mainstream media' had this involved a republican appointee, I'm thinkin'....

It'd take nothing short of an ax murder to divert media attention during the warm swoon of the run-up to HIS coronation.....

Is there no limit to the mischief of the idle rich ?? Caroline says "I'd like, you know, like to be a United States, you know, Senator. I mean, I'm, like, famous and all....so I, you know, I think I would really, really like to be one. Like, you know, I know lots of people and stuff.....".

I'm tellin' ya, the political class simply marches to a different drummer - doesn't it ??!!

I know, I know......Maybe it is just me, but the sanctimonious drivel spewing forth from Bill ("oops") Richardson seems to take us way beyond the land of pitiful - and well into the realm of amusing - as in farce.

Tsk, tsk - what shameless, posturing creatures these politicians be.....
