The Grandaddy of them All

I was all excited about our first Annual Pro Bowl party to be held at Elvis’s house and featuring hors’d’oeuvres from Penelope. We were all set to do homage to the grandest of all sporting events. But then much to my chagrin, I discovered that the Grammys were the same night. I don’t know how that slipped my mind. But as usual, I put my noggin to good use and decided the best solution would be a Pro Bowl/Grammy party. We will watch the first half of the game and then at halftime switch over to the Grammys (I am not aware of any halftime musical act at the Pro Bowl, but it is rumored that Joan Rivers will be attending). I realize this will create an issue as to wardrobe, so my suggestion is for you to wear football fan clothes in the first half and clothes reflecting your favorite musical genre in the second half. For those sporting country music attire, you can wear that the entire game because Tony Romo has been added to the NFC team, and, as you all know, he dated Carrie Underwood and faux-country singer Jessica Simpson.


Do not be alarmed if you see me using a credit card to enter into Elvis’s house, and that you may not actually see Elvis at the party. As the classic saying goes, “Elvis has left the building” -- in this case to get ice and apparently he travels all the way to Texas to get a special kind of ice (because he went to school with “Ice, Ice Baby") so he may not make it in time for the party but he has kindly let us his house.

Adopt-A-Highway

The latest organization has signed up to Adopt-A-Highway in Colorado.  The National Socialist Party a/k/a the Nazis have adopted a highway.  Guess where?  Brighton.  I guess I won't be headed there anytime soon.

Chair Dancing

As some of you may know, at the tail end of a party, you may find me dancing on a chair. Here is one such instance. Note, I even have someone worshipping me (actually it is my cousin).  This is from my mother's 80th birthday party (she did not nor has she ever danced on a chair).

The genius of the NFL -- they parlay 11 minutes of action into three hours worth of tv revenue and concession sales.

There is hope for Rupert Murdoch and the NY Post. He just needs to stop listening to Roger Ailes.

As this article demonstrates, there are fundamental differences between the Reid and Lott situation. Yes, Reid's comments are deplorable but he did not voice support for a segregationist, and Reid had a laudable record on civil rights.

Excellent point in this article. Yes, you grabbed our attention with the postings and piqued our curiosity. Now follow it up with some education and fundraising so the effort's impact is more than just titillating (pun ambiguous).

Will this be the straw that breaks the Tiger's back? Apparently, one of the Tiger's mistresses is claiming he was a switch hitter.

An overachieving star dates an attractive woman, impregnates her, dumps her, is smitten by a new woman, and gets engaged to new woman. Are we talking about Tom Brady? No it is Peter Orszag, the Prez's budget director who also has been previously married with two kids. Apparently policy wonks are the studs in DC.
