My golf buddy,

John Reilly, was upset, a couple of weeks ago, because his sister, Patty, was invited to the Hollywood premiere of 'Leatherheads', (a movie whose script was written by their brother Rick, and bought, produced, directed and starred in, by George Clooney), and John wasn't (invited). SOOO, John decided to have his own premiere party, when "Leatherheads" opened here. Reserved a room at Gordon Biersch, got some movie posters, arranged drink and food specials, and had a party, with Rick wearing a leather helmet, for the opening. Rick was funny, his girlfriend really hot, and the get-together fun. I would love to say the movie was good, and it COULD have been, if they would have stayed with the original story (birth of the NFL in the 1920's), and a love story between Clooney and Rene Zelweiger, BUT, they went with a sideline, where a returning soldier (Jim, from 'The Office"), is caught in a lie about his military record. WHY?? Not sure who made the changes, but Rick, who had a cameo in the film, said it was only about half his original story line, and once they paid him, he had no control over it. Whatever, was a fun evening, and about as close as I'll ever get to the red carpet.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
