Random Thoughts

Talk about a 'Prince of a guy.' Prince Frederic von Anhalt, a man who pretty much purchased the title "Prince" and is the husband of Zza Gabor has claimed that he had a long term affair with Anna Nicole Smith and is probably the father. Although he went on to say that anyone of 10, or 20, of a 100 men could be the father. Real gentleman. Of course, this is the man who sued the makers of Viagra because he said it rendered him impotent....

The House at Arms Bill Livingood has made arrangements and told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that her travels will have to be on a military plane. Since 9/11 the House Speaker no longer rides on commercial airlines for security reasons. Former Speaker Dennis Hastert lived in Illinois but as Speaker Pelosi lives in California she will need a larger plane with a greater range. The Washington Times announced that SHE is trying to take advantage of her office. Sean Hannity on Faux News jumped in as well. Of course, she didn't make the request and even the White House defended her. Funny thing, I wonder how many people realize that The Washington Times is owned by the Unification Church, aka, the Moonies. And Sean Hannity finds that good, ahem, journalism, is cutting in and talking over everyone else. But for the House Republicans who ran with this and attacked Pelosi. Folks----there are big issues to deal with. The Speaker of the House, no matter what party she or he is in, needs to be secure. Surely there are other issues to grapple with.

Funny thing about people and Peyton Manning. Good guy has done really good things and represents the game well and plays as well as any quarterback in history. Was criticized because he couldn't win 'the big one.' Now he's won the big one and he's too nice. Cut the guy a break.

I have become a fan of Mexican food and my favorite Mexican food in our area is Puerto Vallarta on Charlestown Road.

People from the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, led by their pastor Fred Phelps decided to picket the funeral of 10 people killed in the dreadful fire in Bardstown, Kentucky. These kinds of tragedies are pointed out by them because our nation has become a sodomite nation and God is punishing people. They are not a congregation noted for 'sharing the love' with others. I'll stop there, lest I get carried away.

I think that The Onion has the best Chinese food around.

The movie "Hannibal Rising" was released today. I'm not sure why I would want to see a movie about the roots of a homicidal maniac who eats people's liver with fava beans and a good chianti. Ugh.

Meredith Grey on Grey's Anatomy fell into the water in last week's episode. They are attempting to save people who were badly hurt in a dreadful ferryboat accident. It ended with Meredith missing after falling into the water. Since the show is named after her character I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that she survives.

Laugh at me if you will, but I think Frische's has the best chili in the area.

I'm not sure about the Mets pitching this year. Unless some of these young kids come up big----which they may, the Mets may be doomed to come up short again.

Next year some NFL teams to watch.

The Titans. We saw some really amazing stuff from them towards the end of last year. They will be tough next year.

The Colts gave people a blueprint on how to beat the Bears. The Bears will make the playoffs, however, because they are pretty much unopposed in their division.

I don't have a clue about the Giants next year.

The Raiders will continue to give off strong aroma from the Bay area.

The Buffalo Bills are going to be tough.

The Colts will be very good again as long as Peyton stays healthy. They will lose Dominic Rhodes, however, and it will be a loss for them as he was their best power back.
