Here are six completely random thoughts and observations that have been on my mind during the past 96 hours. They may be of interest only to me, but I’m going to share them with you anyway:
1. Although Nate Robinson won the dunk contest at the NBA All-Star Weekend for the third time, nearly everyone who had the misfortune of watching the event was disappointed. Why was it such a bomb? Frankly, there was no WOW factor.
Rather than merely bringing the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders out on to the court to wave their pom poms, Robinson should have tried to dunk over one of them. Only instead of executing the dunk to perfection (like he did while soaring over Spud Webb in the above picture), Nate should have gone with a Teabag Slam. Now that is a lasting image that would have grabbed headlines.
2. In a couple hours, evidently a porn star will be going on Inside Edition to allege that Tiger Woods impregnated her twice. Who knows if there is any truth to the allegations, but it is pretty clear that Tiger and the porn skank did have some sort of relationship. Whether he was involved with Perkins Restaurant employees or porn stars, it’s evident that Tiger really wasn’t very discriminating. If a woman was willing, so was Tiger. Forget the convenient excuse of being a sex addict, it seems as though Woods just isn’t a very smart man.
3. President Barack Obama is floundering and the news that Indiana Senator Evan Bayh will not be seeking re-election only compounds his problems. Here is what Bayh had to say earlier today:
“For some time, I have had a growing conviction that Congress is not operating as it should. There is too much partisanship and not enough progress — too much narrow ideology and not enough practical problem-solving,” he said.
No shit, Sherlock. Although what Bayh said was obvious, Obama should take the comments to heart. As soon as he starts distancing himself from Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, the better off he (and the country) will be.
4. This just in: Queen Rania of Jordan is smoking hot. On 60 Minutes last night Scott Pelley reported that Bill Clinton spent a great deal of time talking to the queen at a recent conference in Switzerland. Of course he did…and if you think Slick Willie had even the slightest interest in maternal mortality then you are crazier than Glenn Beck on a good day.
5. Over the weekend I saw Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief with my kids and it was actually somewhat entertaining. At no point during the entire movie was I even close to nodding off and falling asleep. Of course, the presence of Rosario Dawson 2/3 of the way through certainly helped considerably. Ms. Dawson looked spectacular and was worth the price of admission all by herself.
6. I have always thought Jessica Biel is hit or miss. At times she looks stunning, but for some reason at other times is purely pedestrian. Well, in Valentine’s Day it is the former. While the movie is only so-so (intermittently funny but very contrived), there is no disputing that Biel brought her ‘A’ game to the role. I can’t quite put my finger on why she is so up and down, but it might have something to do with the length of her hair. The locks were long in this one and that definitely appears to be the way to go for JB.
