What Happens Here, Does Not Stay Here

This evening on my way home from work, I stopped at Walgreens to get my prescriptions. I normally do the drive up, but it was 4 cars long, so I went inside. What a great decision. While waiting at the counter inside, I noticed a scantily clad woman, with large fake breasts and blond dye job, I figured she was a hooker. Well guess what! She got a phone call from her service and she has a hot date tonight at Baily's Room 2045 at 9pm. I did not get the guys name. He is in for a big surprise, because her prescriptions were $210, but she did wanted to pay that much, so she said and I quote "Just print off my Valtrex prescription and I will get in Canada next week, It's cheaper up there." For those of you who do not know Valtrex is for Herpes Suppression. We have all seen the commercial. I was going to call Bally's and ask for Mr. Victor Mateland. (a litte BHC reference)

Sky Torah

The following is a link to a Yahoo article on the new Sky Torah on Is Air flights. Which brings up a very funny story from my own El Al flight. On the way home from Israel in 2001, I was sitting in the last row on a 747, when I was awaken prior to our landing by my father. When I looked to my left I saw 6-10 Orthodox Jews in Tallit (Jewish Prayer shawls) and Tefillin (a prayer aid, which resembles yards of leather rope wrapped around their arm and skull). They were performing the morning prayer. In my still half asleep mind, I thought the plane was going to crash. As it turns out the area near the galley and emergency door just gave them more room to pray. Now according to yahoo, certain flights will be equipped with a Sky Torah. Since I am not a Hebrew scholar, I am not going to question the kosherness of this.

Not Knight's Night

The General is still tied with Dean Smith, so Dickie V will be back in Lubbock on New Year's Day for the General's next game. UNLV played very well, thre defense is stifiling, I think I will need to go over to Thomas and Mack for some games. Had Tech played the entire game with the same intensity they had in the last 6 mins, Tech would have won. I think the kids we very nervous about all the fanfare and bigwigs in town.

The Accidental President

America lost a Great American this week, President Ford passed away this week after several health scares over the last decade of his life. No official cause of death has been stated, but he died as all of hope to, in his sleep, at home at the ripe old age of 93. The Mainstream Media is calling him the Accidental President, hoping to remind us of his supposed clumsiness as portrayed by Chevy Chase on SNL. Nothing could be further from the truth. Gerald Ford was an All-American center at Michigan during the 1930's when College Football was king, and Michigan football was arguably the best, they were undefeated for two years during President's Ford tenure. President Ford then went on to Coach and serve our Country during the War. Before representing the people of western Michigan in Congress for 25 years. President Ford was a great American, but all we are going to hear in the coming weeks is about the pardon of President Nixon. It is a shame we should instead focus on his accomplishments and the accomplishments of the other members of his generation. Without their sacrifices we would be living in vastly different times.

Round 2

The Donald vs. Rosie fight just keeps getting better. The Donald is quoted in various news columns with the following quips:

1. "Maybe she wanted to put the crown back on Miss USA's head," the real-estate mogul said of the openly gay O'Donnell, who has four children with her partner, Kelli. "I think she's very attracted to Miss USA so she probably wanted to put the crown on her head herself"

2. "She is a very, very unattractive woman who really is a bully."

3. "Ultimately, Rosie is a loser, and ultimately ("The View") will fail because of Rosie. ... Barbara (Walters) made a mistake and let me tell you something, Barbara's a good friend of mine. She cannot stand Rosie O'Donnell."

Rosie fought back with the following, "He inherited a lot of money," she said. "Wait a minute, and he's been bankrupt so many times where he didn't have to pay. ... I just think that this man is sort of like one of those, you know, snake oil salesmen in 'Little House on the Prairie."'

Trump fired back later Wednesday in a TV interview, calling O'Donnell a "slob," among other insults. "I never went bankrupt, but she said I went bankrupt," he said. "So probably I'll sue her because it would be fun."

The Only Time I have ever agreed with Rosie O'Donnell

According to an article on Yahoo, today our favorite Lesbian Comedian is upset with The Donald's handling of the Miss USA matter. Rosie is quoted as saying the following:

"... Left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affair. Had kids both times, but he's the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America," the comedian-actress said to roars of audience laughter. "Donald, sit and spin my friend."

The Real NRA

The NRA argued in court yesterday to uphold the Smoking Ban passed by Nevada Voters in the November elections. Now, I know most you are wondering why would the National Rifle Association argue against a smoking ban. Seems a little off message. But, here in Nevada we have the real NRA, the Nevada Resort Association, which is the lobby for the Mega Casino Resorts in Nevada. This version of the NRA is better funded and has real power in both Nevada and DC. Sen. Reid, who is set to become the Majority Leader of the Senate, who do you think his puppet master is? The Real NRA. Also as a South Dakota tie-in, Winner, SD native Todd Bice argued on behalf of the NRA at the hearing. Mr. Bice is a big time litigator here in Nevada.

Essentially the ban restricts smoking in establishments that serve food and have restricted gambling licenses, which means 15 or fewer slots. Establishments with unrestricted gambling licenses are exempt for the smoking restrictions. The local tavern owners are arguing that the NRA is just trying to get their customers. Which is probably true.

Should be a good fight, as my Property Professor from law school used to say, A JD is a ring side seat to the greatest show on earth.

What Would Scooby Do?

Joe Barbera half of the legendary comics creator team Hanna/Barbera died this week at age 95. Their great cartoons like the Flintstones, Jetsons, and Scooby Doo ran for years. The bulk of their work was completed in the 1960's but are still on TV today. It never occurred to me in the 80's when I did the bulk of my cartoon watching that the programs I loved were actually created when my parents were in high school/ junior high. The only good cartoons that debuted when I was a child was Fraggle Rock on HBO. Back in the old days my parents had a key lock on the cable box to block HBO, and I had to find the key in order to watch Fraggle.

With the Loss of AFL Pioneer Lamar Hunt this week and the tragic accident of Joshua Freeman, a minority owner of the Washington Capitals, I wonder who the next big sports related death is going to be? Since I am in Vegas the official odds are as follows

2-1 Virginia Halas McCaskey, Chicago Bears, 82
6-1 Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys, 64
10 million-1 George Michael Steinbrenner III, NY Yankees, 74 Obviously has deal with Devil
