For those of you who do not follow the NFL, you may not know who Terrell Owens is, but even in our celebuculture I can't help but feel this should be impossible. If you don't know who he is, wiki is your BFF - - the "Controversy" section is probably the most interesting portion of the page.

He's the classic "me" player - egotistical, mouthy, greedy, self-centered, with little regard for his teammates or the well-being of the team.

As a Bills fan, I expect that even T.O. isn't capable of destroying a franchise in one year. From a purely football perspective I think he's going to be a huge addition to our offense, but at what expense? T.O. has to know that his antics won't be tolerated here... if he doesn't he'll soon find out. The thing about T.O. is that he came from small town Alabama and an undistinguished athletics program (Tennessee - Chattanooga). He must have been really eager to shed his humility.

1. El Salvador's Barack Obama - Communist and Former CNN Employee



A most interesting development. It is good to see the Red March continues across Latin America, comrades! Possibly the only capitalist nation left south of our border (or, as some say, anywhere in the Western Hemisphere) is now Brazil - they just recently began expanding their offshore drilling, and this is the country with the highest application of biofuel in the world? In any case, this is no bullpoop - yes, Maruicio Funes, former CNN International correspondent and candidate for President of El Salvador is the current leader of the same Communist regime that the Reagan Administration fought back in the '80s, and he considers himself to be "El Salvador's Barack Obama." As the piece points out, he's even co-opted "si se puede." If you're curious, you can check out "Chairman" Funes on Facebook.


2. Barack Obama - Worst Gift Giving President In History?

This ain't political - let's lay out the facts and you can judge for yourself. Prime Minister Gordon Brown is a peculiar man to be sure, but he displayed deep consideration and thought in his array of gifts to the 44th President of the United States upon their first diplomatic meeting.

Please consider the following. The first gift - an ornamental desk-pen holder crafted from the timbers of a 19th century British anti-slaving ship, the HMS Gannet, which was subsequently renamed the HMS President. (That is such an amazing and meaningful gift not just to Barack Obama but to our nation, that I can barely stand it). The second gift - the framed commission for the HMS Resolute, a ship that our own U.S. Navy towed from the Arctic to London for the British. The same boat whose timbers were fashioned into the desk of President Rutherford B. Hayes, a gift from Queen Victoria, which is the desk that currently sits in the Oval Office. The third gift - a first edition of Sir Martin Gilbert's 7-volume biography of Sir Winston Churchill.

President Obama's gift in return? A 25-DVD collection of America's greatest films.

C'mon. Prime Minister Brown could have picked that up from Wal-Mart on the way to Andrews AFB. Barack Obama, what the hell is wrong with you? The British press is aflame with insult, and how could you blame them? This has nothing to do with politics - I have to say, I'm ashamed at that one. God bless the British and their sense of history... I can't think of another nation whose people could conceive of such thoughtful things to present to our President, much of which has to do with our long history together. We're close to the British and as far as diplomacy goes, in their eyes this was the diplomatic version of a glove-slap. So I'll diss the President in British fashion - in my view, Obama "bottled it!"

If we're going to rig our blog views by using provocative journal titles, I'd rather it be down and dirty. For example, I think (e:carey) has held back quite a bit. (e:hodown) on the other hand, now that's what I'm talking about. You have to take advantage of the fact that horny guys only think in syllables of two or three at the same time. In the heat of the moment guys pretty much think like ogres with throbbing loins. If any man could screw while doing a crossword puzzle, I'd want to cut him to see if there was a robot underneath that flesh. So remember ladies - keep it simple, just like always, and don't be shy with the vulgarity. Your journal will be top in no time!

I've been listening while I work. I don't know why I can recognize Gloria Allred solely from her hairstyle. What controversial legal case in California is this lady NOT a part of?

There is a place for Norman Gentle in this guy's heart - and there has GOT to be a place for Norman Gentle in America.







I love the mad ones, gotta say.

Extraordinary Op-Ed in the Wall Street Journal, that I think all of you should read.

The general premise is that it will be impossible to tax the rich high enough in order to pay for Obama's spending concerns. I've been telling you guys this for a while - if taxes are going up for the rich, trust me, your tax hike will soon be following. Not to mention 45-55% of small business revenue. The article also mentions how the cap and trade idea will yield yet another steep de facto tax increase for all energy users.

I'm not giving up squat - in fact I probably need more vices. My friend KC described this period as "the acetic pleasure-lack of lent." Poetic but unconvincing.

White grapefruit and job appropriate utensils. Behold -



My first food entry in my blog... I think I'm tearing up!

EDIT: Food porn for (e:paul) - since he mentioned blood oranges.

Blood oranges and bastardization of awesome luxury tool set. Behold -



LOL!

Nice. :(

Last night on Hannity they played a short excerpt from a recent interview with disgraced former Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich. Everybody is tired of the guy and his media campaign, but I've never seen such a hard-hitting interview with a politician. Sean took the wood to him something fierce - so much so that it was a tad uncomfortable watching Blago squirm. He didn't attack him personally - he simply insisted that he answer a few questions, including whether or not he said what he said, what he meant by "I'm not giving this ### thing away for nothing, etc." At times Blago looked like he didn't know what to do.

Most of you wouldn't watch Hannity, but I recommend watching this interview - apparently it got very heated and they only showed a morsel last night. Supposedly it will be on tonight in full.
