Sadly, we lost our 4,000th soldier in Iraq today.
97% of the 4,000 have been lost since "Mission Accomplished" was declared over 1,800 days ago.

Patriots 18 and NO. Atsa shame...

August 3, 2007: As a result of the collapsed bridge disaster in Minnesota, Americans are slowly learning
that 27% of all U.S. bridges were deemed "deficient and/or obselete" in 2003.
It would cost us around $200 billion to repair these bridges in our OWN country, but the odds
of that are slim and none.
We do however have plenty of money to destroy another country and rebuild it:

4/2/07: Baseball season opened today. First time in over 7 decades an American
President didn't throw out the first pitch. George said "he was too busy".
I guess 3 and 1/2 miles to the Nationals' ballpark was too far also.
I'm sure it had nothing to do with boos or his anemic approval rating.
Mr. Bush continues to make history.
3/19/07: Happy 4th Anniversary of YOUR personal War in Iraq George.
Meanwhile back
at the ranch...
Mission accomplished...
over 3,600 deaths ago...
Next time, identify
your enemy and go
after THEM.

Britney Shears: Success has finally gone to her head.
It's inevitable that
bubble gum will eventually lose its flavor.

Did the Bears really think they could win a Super Bowl with a high school quarterback?

How Low Will Bush Go? If you or I had a 28% approval rating, we'd have
lost our jobs a LONG time ago. Guess we'll just keep the blinders on until
2008 while the funeral directors get rich burying
"Bush's heroes".

It's been brought to my attention that all previous "Idol" winners
(Kelly, Fantasia, Carrie & Rueben) had one thing in common: Fine Cleavage.
So they'll crown another karoake champion in a few months.
And think what all the viewers could have done with those 40+ hours of
couch potatoing. Please God, make it stop. Jimbo---out.

Done deal.

Bush's Cure Now Deadlier than the Disease:
More Americans have now died
in Bush's fictional Iraq War than Bin Laden killed on 9/11.

Cheers to Steve Nash who had an amazing 20 assists the other night leading
the Phoenix Suns to their 7th straight victory. 20 assists!
Jeers to "the answer" A.I. who led his 76ers to their 12th loss in 14 games
while chucking over 30 shots a game to keep him in the top ten in NBA scoring.
A.I. really needs to introduce another 4-letter word to his vocabulary:
P-A-S-S. Last time I looked there were 4 other guys wearing his uniform on the court.

Cheers to Cyber Monday!
Jeers to the increase in Cell Phone Idiots (CPI's) on the roads and in the mall parking
lots, oblivious to EVERYTHING else in their world. Almost got cut off by one the other
day. Here's an important public service announcement for all CPI's:
HANG UP AND DRIVE

I've assembled a list of all the politicians who've left messages on my answering machine
the last 2 weeks and will make a point NOT to vote for any of them.
My messages can't be deleted until after I play them.
They've wasted enough of my time, so here's to serenity now.
May they lose to the bigger liars who didn't waste my time. Dillweeds!

The honors keep pouring in for St. Louis.
Congratulations on being the #1 Most Dangerous City in the USA! Wonderful! Your Arch-Enemies salute you!

A sad day in sports. Led by Albert Pujol's 2 rbi's and 8 Tiger errors,
the 83-78 Cardinals,
worst record EVER for a "champion", win the 2006 World Series in 5 games.
35-39 since the All-Star break and barely backing into the playoffs after losing
their last 7 of 10 games in the regular season, St. Louis beat the mighty Padres,
the hapless Mets, and finally the inexperienced and inept Tigers.
Congrats however to David Eckstein, the MVP of the series and an integral
part of MY 2002 Champion Angels team. Congrats also to Scott Rolen, another ex-Phillie
to capture the crown after leaving Philly. Reminds me of when a 9-7 NFL wild card
team wins the Super Bowl. There ought to be a law. But since there's not, there's hope for our dysfunctional Phillies.
ANYTHING is now possible. Mediocrity CAN be crowned "champion".
Take our president for example...

$300+Million dollars worth of NY baseball teams get to watch
the World Series from home next week. Misery loves company,
and this Phillies fan loves it. Thoroughly enjoyed the $323K per year
Cardinals pitcher Wainwright striking out $14 million Carlos Beltran to end the series
last night--on 3 pitches. Go Tigers.
10/16/06:
Chicago Bears QB Rex Grossman won last night's game
over Arizona 24-23 with these stats:
14/37 for 148 yards. 0 TD's, 4 INT's, 2 fumbles.
Am I missing something? Am I in the wrong line of business?
Meanwhile, once upon a time in 2005:
Welcome Home Martha...
You tell me: Which is the bigger crime here?
The MVP of the 2005 All-Star game shooting 4 for 14
or Martha Stewart earning over 4 million dollars per day in jail?
Only in America...
