Not that it matters much, but:

I don’t see the big deal about House Speaker “San Fran Nan” Pelosi telling the Prez he doesn’t have the authority to invade Iran, or Hillary telling the Prez he’s got to go to the Senate before doing same. After all, no one in the White House has even hinted that a plan to invade is on the table, so it must be simple political posturing, right? What a bunch of morons.

Speaking of the Prez, on ABC News’ Political Radar blog, Teddy Davis reports that his former political strategist Matthew Dowd writes in Texas Monthly that President Bush’s “gut-level bond” with the American people “may be lost” because of the mess in Iraq. Speaking personally, I have to say I’m in agreement with Dowd, as I find it almost impossible to listen to the Prez and take seriously anything he has to say anymore. Bring on 2008!

I know having to sit on an airplane for 10 hours or even more makes for a bad air travel experience, but given the fact that New York airports are ALWAYS difficult to fly out of – even in the best of conditions – who in their right mind would even attempt to go there expecting to fly when a major winter storm hits the area?

So ESPN’s Jayson Stark has the Red Sox down as his choice for “most improved team” this year. We’ll see. I’m not sold on the bullpen yet, but Red at Surviving Grady has it right when he has one Manuel Aristides Ramirez down for his usual offensive exploits this year.

So former Miami Heat guard Tim Hardaway says he “hates gay people” and “would never play with one”. Well, Mr. Hardaway has every right to speak his opinion, but anytime you generalize about hating a group of people – for any reason – it makes you look small, defeating whatever point you were trying to make.

For Valentine’s Day, I made my lovely wife surf and turf. But another Arizona couple not far from here had a whole ‘nother idea of entertainment entirely. Wouldn’t flowers or candy have been good enough? (Hat tip: Shot In The Dark)

It must be Spring here in Arizona, as the mourning doves are making goo-goo eyes at our property like sharks circling a diver. My guess is there’ll be another maternity watch around here before too long.
