The late, great Detroit Free Press writer Bob Talbert would have these musings on Mondays. These were terrific articles, and I hope, in some small way, I can bring them back.
The Golden Globes were on last night. That seemed like a exercise in futility, other than Robert Downey's humorous acceptance speech, and the tribute to the great Martin Scorcese.
It never seems to amaze me when certain posters, bloggers, etc... make EVERYTHING a political statement. After all, Haiti relief, which Former President Bush said yesterday was non-political, is being politicized by the very type of indiviuals who supported him when he was in the white house(YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE). Those people act like President Obama is only doing this for racial reasons, as if Bush would not have done the same thing. These same individuals would criticize the Red Wings for having Swedes on the team.
Jon Gosselin has a new girlfriend. Again. Yeah I know, you don't care, either.
According to the scandal sheets, Lindsay Lohan is broken up over "drug-related deaths of Brittany Murphy and Casey Johnson. First, has anyone said Murphy's death was drug related? It may have been, but it seems awfully premature to say that. Secondly, Johnson had a long history of being severely diabetic, and even though she partied hearty on a regular basis, she also had been in diabetic coma once before, so to assume that she O.D.'d (even if she did) seems awfully presumptous, to say the least.
It looks like Conan O'Brien is on his way out at NBC. That's probably a good thing, as O'Brien has been a disaster on the Tonight Show seat. He's an acquired taste, which America has not acquired.
On the political front, Democrats in Massachusetts are bracing for a possible Republican victory in a special election tomorrow, one of the scenarios being floated is that the house simply passes the health care bill that the senate approved on Christmas Eve(The Senate would not have to vote again, since they had already passed the bill). I ask this: Why didn't the House simply do THAT after the Senate passed the bill in the first place? Health Care would have been
done, at least for the time being, and the dem candidate Coakley, would almost certainly not be in the electoral trouble she's in right now.
That's it. tty next Monday.
