Busy week in progress so I'm going to hit the highlights.
Cartoons of Mohammed
For those who insist on comparing Christian fundamentalists to Islamic fundamentalists, may I point out that when their religion is mocked and or ridiculed, Christians are not known for burning embassies and calling for the murder of those who did the mocking or ridiculing.
King Funeral
Has anyone else noticed that democrats/liberals can't hold a funeral or memorial without turning it into a campaign rally? It reminds me of the Robin Williams movie
Super Bowl
The Steelers won, although that first touchdown looked pretty questionable to me. I had flashbacks to the Florida touchdown here a few years back. However, it was nice to see a city celebrate a victory without the resident's feeling the need to burn things.
Superbowl commercials
On the list of things I never thought I'd hear coming from one of my kid's mouth, this ranks right near the top:
Play that one again, Daddy. I missed the naked sheep.
On the whole, I'd prefer they go back to flashing Janet Jackson's breast.
UT Men's Basketball
This is a year in which the UT men's teams are defying all expectations. While this was a bad thing for the football team, it's nothing short of outstanding for the basketball team, who went into Rupp arena and dominated the Mildcats tonight. When was the last time the basketball team polled higher than the football team? When was the last time the men's team had only one more loss than the women's team?
3 Days to NASCAR
Yeah, I know. It's just guys driving around in circles really fast. It's just for rednecks. It's low brow entertainment. Men drink beer and women get nekkid.
I don't see the problem.
I'll put it this way; I'll take watching fast cars, and nekkid women with 100,000 other rednecks over watching a movie about gay shepherds every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Only this week, it's Saturday for the Bud Shootout.
