10 Things to Think About on a Friday

I couldn't think of a better way to get to Friday than for it to just be Friday already. It wasn't a tough week, other than seeing the Niners hand a game over to the Cardinals on Monday night, which, I'll admit, was quite painful. Hopefully, that will all be washed away tomorrow as I watch my team head down to XC CCS and then get over to the Farm to watch SC annihilate Stanford with Andy. But until that all happens, some of you poor schmucks still have almost 8 hours to go until your work day ends, so here's a few things you can consider while waiting on that clock.

1) I wasn't quite sure that Bush could be considered a sentient human being. I mean, the guy's made more mental, verbal and foreign policy blunders than you'd expect from a 3rd trimester fetus was running the White House as well as possessing the lowest approval rating in approval rating poll history. And what's worse is that he's never appeared particularly worried by anything he's done. Well, I am pleased to tell you that he realizes he's made some mistakes, and now he's talking about them. I particularly love it when he says that he's going to write a book about what it was like to be in some of those historic moments...you wonder if he'll focus more on what Cheney said or what he had for breakfast on those momentous days.

2) I never ceased to be amazed at lawsuits that people file. Like the city of Batman suing the movie franchise Batman for damages.

3) I don't think there's a single sports fan in this country who doesn't think college football needs a playoff system. Whether you're the fan of the team that just won the mockery that is the BCS Championship game, or a fan of one of the many 1 loss teams that got left out of the hunt, I think it's widely accepted by all fans that the only proper way to crown a champion is a playoff system. Even Barack Obama agrees. Tell me then why the Presidents of this BCS system continue to claim that everything is fine and we don't need playoffs? Are they watching a different season or sport than we are? WAKE UP AND GIVE US THE PLAYOFFS WE WANT!

4) You know those times when you feel like all reasonable hope is lost and you just need to do something over the top? Well, this guy didn't feel like getting arrested for drunk driving was enough, so he decided to piss on the cop too.

5) In case you missed it yesterday, you can now buy a vibrator that hooks up to your iPod, runs off its battery and moves in time to the music you're listening to. Single girls can now pretend they're actually with Jack Johnson, T-Pain, Amy Winehouse, Cher or any other artist of their choice.

6) I've heard of celebrities binging on coke or booze. Then you have the celebrities who can't shake their addiction to sex or heroin. But here's a story you don't hear too often...a celebrity addicted to breast feeding.

7) Once a week, the President of our country gets on the radio to talk about things. Of course, for the past 8 years, most people would rather attempt a self-performed frontal lobotomy with a screwdriver than listen to what that guy passes off as "talking." But now, things have changed, and not only can you listen to our new President on the radio, but you can go check him out on YouTube as well.

8) Once again, the controversy and absurdity of Prop 8 continues to dominate the news weeks after the election. Thankfully, I don't see this Proposition standing up very long before the courts get a hold of it....they are there to make sure people stay equal, after all. But, it never hurts to have more star power like George Clooney speaking out against it...And here's something that most people didn't talk about when attempting to pass Prop 8...the economic repercussions.

9) By the way...anyone remember that Osama bin Laden guy? How's the hunt for him going?

10) We'll end this on a sleazy note...how about the 10 worst places to have sex?

That's it folks, be good to each other...
