CATAGORIES: WEEK IN REVIEW — FloridaBill @ 8:48 am

File under Week 3 of 2009.

Yes! A group is finally calling for the banning of the use of cell phones while driving. I am behind this 100%. Folks, use of a cell phone while behind the wheel quadruples your chance of being in an accident. Just say no and make or take that call later. Hang-up and drive!

As we approach the coronation tommorrow of President-elect Obama, there is much talk about the legacy of the current President. Let’s let history decide, shall we? It is going to happen that way in any event. Many are already speculating on the end of an era.

There is another end to an era in Indianapolis last week with the retirement of Colts Coach Tony Dungy. He had a remarkable career and I very much doubt we have heard the last of him at age 53. Don’t be surprised if his shows up as some kind of Czar in the Obama adminsitration.

Speaking of football, it is the Cardinals (the oldest team in the league) and the Steelers in the SuperBowl. I enjoyed watching the second game and a little college basketball at Sal Uki’s last night.

I came across this nifty invention while scouring the web last week. Pretty keen idea for pool owners.

Here are my Nominees for Fucktard of the Week:
Texas Deathrow inmate Andre Thomas who plucked out his good eye and ate it! (OMG).
This Somoli Pirate who drowned and then washed ashore with $153k in his pockets. I keep saying those pirates are doing it wrong.
Rodolfo Duarte who tried to get a homemade gun on to a plane at O’Hare. Something wrong with the storebought kind Rodolfo?
Marcus Schrenker, the Indianapolis pilot who tried to fake his own death and then was found in a pup tent at a campground in Florida. What a story. Mickey Rourke should play him in the film version.
Mayor Gary Becker of Racine, WI who was busted for child porn. Buh bye Becker.

Winter still sucks. It was absolutely frigid last week. I don’t think the temps got much above single digits. thursday morning, it was ten below zero with wind chills that were 30 below and at times, even worse. Friday morning, it got really cold. The mere thought of February is scary. Can we skip straight to May please?

Winter Sucks

Among the headlines that made me click last week were the following:
Who Would Jesus Smack Down? (I have used that line in analyzing insurance claims now several times.)
Golden Globes go Slumming (does anyone really care?)
Fuck this Impeachment Shit (That wasn’t the real headline, but it shoulda been.) The IL Governor swore in the very state senators who will be trying him on Wednesday. The irony is tasty.
Holder to Face Grillings over Clinton Pardons. (Face grilling? Ouch!)
Mickey Rourke vows to hack off every dog testicle on Earth. What a man!
Freed detainees said back in terror. I say they deserve terror and also, you know what? I have the Gitmo solution: just open the gates and let them become Cuba’s problem. Next issue please…

Yep tear down that fence Mr. Castro!

Enjoy your freedoms and happy healthy weekends to all.
