Things I Know

  • I’m looking for a great big Fiat decal to put on the back window of my Chrysler.

  • I used to think upper respiratory infection was just a longer way to say bronchitis.  I was wrong.  Bronchitis, it turns out, is actually a lower respiratory infection.   Who knew?

  • If Judge Sotomayor saved baseball, maybe she’s okay, but some things she has said trouble me.

  • I don’t know why the news media is so obsessed with opposition to this Supreme Court nominee.  Republicans don’t have enough votes to do anything about it except ask a few questions.  I’d be surprised if she isn’t confirmed by at least 80 votes in the Senate.

  • The commercial for www.hulu.com featuring Dennis Leary is brilliant.  It’s even better than the one with Alec Baldwin.  Leary comes across as a little more maniacal

  • If being well known is what qualifies contestants to leave the island on the new reality TV show, “I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here,” then some of the contestants are going to be there for a long time.

  • Nobody should be surprised if GM, soon to be known as Government Motors, goes bankrupt next week.  The company has been in decline for more than 40 years.  Not a steady decline, but a long-term decline nevertheless.
