From THE GREAT STATE OF MAINE...
Morning, all! You know what I love about blogging? Even with a miserable cold, you can still sound as upbeat and spunkalooney as the nexy guy. I'll try not to drip on your screen.
Yesterday's C&J poll results: 81% said that Howard Dean should've spent his Thursday rekindling the spark with Dr. Judy. You softies... There's another poll up today that requires your immediate attention.
Have a super weekend. Cheers and Jeers starts in the extended copy section...rightnow!
Cheers and Jeers for Friday, February 20, 2004
CHEERS to justice. Former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling is taken behind the woodshed for 42 count indictment. Love those matching handcuffs. A gift from Kenny Boy?
JEERS to Kerry's chances. He just got endorsed by AFL-CIO, a major labor union. Dean and Gephardt called shortly after to offer their condolences. (But Lieberman limits the damage: Gore's in his basement lashed to the furnace.)
CHEERS to Pat Buchanan. I know I know, I'm talking like a crazy poopie man. But if you have a minute, grab a cuppa joe and savor his obituary for neocons Wolfowitz, Perle & Co. I love it when conservatives eat their own. http://www.amconmag.com/3_1_04/cover.html
JEERS to Martha Stewart. Close friend (well, not anymore) says Diva boasted about insider trading deal: "Isn't it nice to have brokers who tell you these things?" Fast-forward to June: "Isn't it nice to have Martha here to scrub our toilets, Warden?"
JEERS to military humor. Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. "Dick" Myers says he can't say how long troops will remain in Iraq because---according to Baltimore Sun---"he acknowledged with a laugh that `the things we've sat around and talked about before have been wrong on every count.'" Yeah. Wrong x 547, Mr. Funnyman.
CHEERS to mad scientists. 60 lab-dwellers with a boatload of Nobels accuse White House of "suppressing, distorting or manipulating the work done by scientists at federal agencies." It's never smart to piss off the guys who control the world's supply of Flubber.
CHEERS to progressive mayors. Hizzoners from Chicago, Minneapolis and---gasp---Salt Lake City love the idea of gay marriage. Is NY's Bloomberg next to join the conga line?
JEERS to the morning commute. American Highway Users Alliance cites 40% increase in bottlenecks on American freeways (L.A. tops the list---big surprise there). With all the eating, cel-phoning, lipstick applying, shaving and blogging going on in most cars, maybe we should wish the number was higher.
CHEERS to http://www.blogforamerica.com . Still loaded with two things entirely absent from John & John's blogs: Sass...and humor.
JEERS to testosterone-fueled lunatics. U. of Colorado coach Gary Barnett on paid (!) leave for calling female team member---and rape victim---"awful" player who "couldn't kick the ball through the uprights." No, but I bet she'd be pretty accurate with your head teed up at the 40-yard line. Tweeeet!
CHEERS to mindless comedy. Mainstream critics hate `Eurotrip.' Movie geeks love it. And Vatican finale promises papal hijinks. I'm there, dude. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/Eurotrip-1129652/
What are you cheering and jeering about today?
