Fat is right. It was a setback week, no doubt about it. Didn't run enough, ate too much. Ate the wrong things. Hoping to do better next week.
But enough self-loathing--it's BIG FAT FRIDAY! What's on your mind? Are you struggling with the fact that you don't want Chicago to get the Olympics just so THE ONE doesn't get to preen more (I am--I know I should want them to come to America--but I just can't take the smugness)? What are your thoughts on Roman Polanski? Emote, people. Emote!
Do we honestly believe that Obama would risk political capital in going to Copenhagen unless he already knew Chicago had won?
ReplyDeleteObamacus will get his bread and circuses, but why do you feel they need to come to America (again)?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the ROI?
I've been away, I know you all missed me.
ReplyDeleteI would like to suggest in the strongest possible terms my expectation that UVA will embarrass, humiliate and demoralize the North Carolina Tarheels tomorrow. Have no mercy on their wretched souls. Wade into them, run rampant on their Franklin Street, skip out on the tab in their bars (or at least stiff the waitress), pee on their toilet seats, smack their "men" around and have you way with their women. Rise up, rise up I say and inflict a mighty ass-whipping on these Godless, perverse, communist, fops, trannies and whores!
I guess I called that Olympics thing wrong.
ReplyDeleteRacist bastards.
ReplyDeleteYep.
ReplyDeleteIt is obviously racism but for some reason, 'blame it on Rio' seems to have a more catchy ring to it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was the IOC's way of telling the guy in charge of the nation who, from their perspectives, dragged the rest of the world economy into the tank and they thought that he ought to be tending to that instead of flying AF1 to Copenhagen to lobby for his hometown. He didn't seem to hear it from us, his un-American astro-turfing subjects. Perhaps the world class smackdown (elimination in first round with least number of votes) was a way of telling him that the rest of the world is a tad smarter than most Americans who are enthralled with His celebrity or the celebrity of the rest of the Chicago elite who preceded him.
Or maybe it was because they weren't confident the US would even be around after 4-8 years of The One.
And to Sally, when a man (or woman) is as self-consumed with his own celebrity as This Man, he doesn't bother to check such things. It was beyond His comprehension that Chicago would lose once He threw his image and verbal weight behind it. He had no need to verify it in advance.
Of course the real reason we lost, as we will almost certainly be reminded, is: "Bush".

Goal undecided between 185 and 190
Reduce the fat intake and walk a brisk 30 minutes every day.
Nah, nah, nah, nah :)
Obama and Af "again" istan.
ReplyDeleteFor 8 years, some pretty smart folks in the Bush Administration and OSD looked for solutions to the issues in Afghanistan and found out that there were no easy answers.
The Obama Administration's team -- a group of much brighter and smarter folks with an enlightened and savvy world-view who looked down their collective noses at the Bush Administration's approach -- have discovered, again, that "Afghanistan is hard." (said like the Barbie doll who stated, "Math Class is hard!").
This is what happens when you fail to appoint an "Olympics Czar."
ReplyDeleteFrom an AP article yesterday: "I'm still in a state of shock. I can't believe we couldn't get past the first round. I still thought the (Chicago) bid overall was the best," said three-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Ambrose "Rowdy" Gaines.
ReplyDelete"Maybe there is some hangover from politics, from the last eight years," Gaines said."
Wow. That didn't take long at all. Thanks Ambrose...I mean "Rowdy".
Congrats on a fine victory for the Virginia Cavaliers. I knew you could do it. Even though Carolina's offense was about a threatening as a Chapel Hill hairdressing waving his teasing comb around, Virginia took it to 'em. Again, congratulations on an outstanding effort, well done!
