So if you're like me - and if you are I suggest you see a doctor or do something to right yourself - you slipped into the small conference room in your office for a minute to watch the end of the Mariners game. You actually cut a meeting short in order to do it. And what you saw made you cringe as your Michigan-dominated office celebrated their hometown team breaking the hearts of M's fans.

Okay, maybe a little dramatic, but only a little.

C'mon Kenji, you gotta catch that ball.

M's are now seven games out of the wild card and fading fast, though not as badly as last year.

On to other things while I have a minute.

"There aren't many jobs for gun-toting, unstable women, unless you want to run for Governor of Alaska." - Letterman last night. And check this out. Wish I'd posted this morning Barney Frank's reaction to a woman calling Obama a Nazi:



John Stewart was in rare form. But in all seriousness, Frank did the right thing. These comparisons between Obama and Nazis are ridiculous. They have to be ignored. Nothing good comes from them. Not to mention, as Stewart mentions, Frank is a Jew. So...pretty much wrapped that one up.

Election in Afghanistan. Obama is good with it.

Cash for clunkers is getting junked. Really it's just ending, but hey, you know, trying to sound witty here.

Ted Kennedy wants a faster way to replace himself in the inevitable event that the unthinkable happens...and what do you know, Republicans don't like it.

Did someone join the mile high club publicly?

That is way more exciting than the long email exchange I had with my co-worker today about why my cream cheese got stolen from the fridge. Wish I could copy it here, but really? All I know is that it is someone else's fault - according to her - that I watched her eat my cream cheese.

A black AG indicting a bunch of Mexican drug dealers. Hmmm...think this will bridge the gap between our two cultures? No racism whatsoever. I am serious. But if I were Holder I'd move for a while. At least someone got it right when they blamed this problem on the U.S. having a drug problem.

This is not funny, at all. But I find it somewhat ironic that we have so much trouble convicting famous people, especially athletes, that actually kill people. Yet, despite the pride my co-worker talked about after watching Plaxico Burris make a big TD catch in the SuperBowl, the former receiver pulled a Cheddar Bob and shot himself, leading to gun charges that are going to land him in prison for two years. Like I said, not funny, but it definitely makes you scratch your head.

Usain Bolt needs to sign with the Seahawks Just have him run by people.

I do like that NASCAR is visiting Dems. Also that the President called NASCAR the "American sport", as is the weeklong tailgate that comes before it.

Which reminds me 14 DAYS TIL FOOTBALL!

Holla.
