It’s gonna be a good day. Jerry Garcia’s toilet is officially off the market and I’m gonna whine about that for a minute. Why wasn’t I notified that Jerry’s toilet was even ON the market? That’s a no-brainer buy for sure. I don’t know if it had been cleaned or flushed before the lucky buyer packed it up and installed it in what I’m sure is a prominent and deserving place in his or her home. I’d be typing this entry from Jerry’s crapper if I had only known about it.

All is not lost however. Jerry’s kitchen sink is up for grabs. I didn’t hear anything about the opening bid and I’m not even sure if I’m interested in it. Somehow I have to wonder how often that sink got used, you know with Jerry’s (sshhhhhhhh) drug problems and all. I just have a hard time picturing him slaving over the dirty dishes or whipping up a stuffed roasted pork loin that he just saw made on Emeril. Whereas, we all know that Jerry’s crapper got way more than average usage. When he wasn’t sitting on it reading Rolling Stone or High Times, he was no doubt parked in front of it on hands and knees. Sorry about the visual on that. Well, I’m gonna go eat some breakfast and check out ebay for the bidding on the sink.

Barak: Wah, wah, wah.

Hillary: Wah, wah, wah

“Yes you did.”

“No I didn’t”

For god sakes, are these two whiners ever going to shut-up and talk about real problems that real people face. This two-way pissing match may be interesting to the “inside the beltway gang”, but I find it nauseating.

“Where have you gone Freddie Thompson? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you”. I’ll admit it. I’m a big Fred Thompson fan. And I’ve been a big Fred Thompson fan for a long time, going way back to his days as a U.S. senator from Tennessee. He’s smart, he’s conservative, he’s a straight-shooter and he has substance and depth. I’ll grant you he is not a household name even with his role on NBC’s Law & Order. I doubt most people could tell you much about him. I can and I will in future posts.

What I don’t understand is why he hasn’t announced yet. He’s got catching up to do. I just hope he doesn’t have a Mario Cuomo skeleton in his closet. We’ve come a long way baby, but we still expect our leaders to be better than us, or at least be smart enough to package themselves better than us.

The good news for the Thompson camp is that he is a powerful public speaker, he’s physically imposing and has boatloads of stage presence. That’s the superficial stuff. I’ll talk more about his political views in coming days. But for now, just know he is the real deal and I believe he has a better than even chance of winning it all if he puts the right team together and plays himself. Whiners watch out!

Well, today I’m giving the SUSW out even before I get to work. It goes to the lady in the black Maxima who was driving down my road when a car pulled out in front of her. When I say ‘pulled out in front of her’, I don’t mean cut her off. I mean just turned in front of her with a perfectly appropriate amount of safety cushion between the Maxima and her clunker.
