| Friday morning, I had some oral surgery. It hurt A LOT, and for most of the weekend, I would wake up briefly for some reason, like to get a new ice pack, or for some medication. I slept through Sarah Palin's announcement. Talk about real pain. My sole comment is that there was once someone in public life who was a real wing-nut (think McCarthyism) had ethics problems (think clothing and animals), ran for national office and lost, went home, licked his wounds, and eight years later became the 37th president of the United States. Don't count her out. Like Marion Barry: DC mayor, ex-felon (cocaine), City Council member, and now accused stalker. Next, I missed that the economically broke city of Los Angeles is paying millions on millions for the Michael Jackson memorial service. 1.6 million people put their names in for the lottery. Imagine if it had cost $2 to put one's name in. I'm betting everyone would have paid. If Visa/Master Card had waived the processing fees, it would have covered the cost of LA police, fire, etc. I'm just saying. Then again, California is thinking of televising the budget negotiations. Last night, the bankruptcy court allowed GM to sell its viable assets to the new company (that's us, the car company owners). Imagine if they actually let us stockholders vote on executive pay... Finally, officially reported H1N1 cases will likely hit 100,000 today or tomorrow. The US has fallen from about 50% of the cases to about a third of the cases as flu takes hold in those areas currently experiencing winter seasonal flu infestation, although the majority are H1N1. My ice pack and I are going back to bed now. See y'all tomorrow.... |
