Good morning. I am filling in for our own Velveeta Jones today. It's not an easy task, so I will not even try. Rather than rail on about what is wrong as I do weekdays, I figured let's keep it a little light this morning.
Just a little. I woke up to find that the pResident made a surprise trip to Iraq this morning. He wanted to celebrate the Status of Forces Agreement with al-Maliki. Well at least he has something to celebrate... I don't think we need to go over all that he has done here in the states, and to the rest of the world. His trip was under tight security and cloaked in secrecy. (you see? if Velveeta were here, she would be writing a story about a Bush and a Clause and an elf name Maliki...)
37 days and we have a new president. It can't come soon enough. I feel like I am a child again, only instead of waiting for Christmas morn, I am waiting for Inauguration day.
Well I know most of us will be out and about preparing for whatever it is we do this time of year. Myself, personally, I will be readying my weapons to fight the war on Christmas. We'll decorate not only a tree, but a Festivus Pole! Take that Bill O'Reilly!
In the meantime, Here is a song I wish was on the pResidents iPod:
Is he black, is he white?... I think the answer most people would give is: who cares?
I think most Americans - whether they agree with his ideology or not - see him as a smart American committed to using politics as a means to create change in this country.
To me, his journey through life say more about him then his racial makeup.

In other news, for those that missed this article on Friday...
You MUST check out the BBC version!! IT has the Slo-Mo replay!!! BBC Link.
Oh mah gawd. Best of all another inappropriate grin opportunity for Dear Leader. Was he smiling because he doesn't care, because he liked the way the security guys beat the shoe thrower down or because the guy is going to Gitmo. Perhaps all of the above.

I am going to make an AFC prediction... The Steelers will be going to the Super bowl.
If things keep going now, the NFC won't be the Giants. Carolina is looking a little too good...

Damn straight skippy. I came home just in time to catch the end of this debacle and this was a low scoring game through most of it so they should have pulled it off. I hope the Giants learn from this and don't screw up. Last year they squeaked in as a wild card and went all the way. Maybe they need that hunger to pull it off.
