Weekend Roundup

Thoughts on this weekend....

First of all, thank goodness the Oscars are tonight, I'm sick to death of hearing about them. I don't care who wins, but I highly doubt that Hugh Jackman will really be drunk and naked as advertised...

Rick Santelli wins my now weekly award for Shower Nozzle of the Week. Link below in all the news junk at the bottom, but you know you're in in shower nozzle territory if you're getting called out by Robert Gibbs. Obama doesn't usually allow for those sorts of games to be played on his turf. (If you need the Shower Nozzle back story, let me know.)

Emma was sick, so I didn't see Nicole. I want to make a quasi-weekly Emma story of the week feature, so maybe when she's feeling better. I'll try to con Nicole into getting Emma to tell her Ninja joke on a web came so I can share that.

Do yourself a favor. In the wake of last year's election, rent "Head of State" starring Chris Rock and Bernie Mac. Oddly prophetic in many ways.

And now, for the funny and weird....

Anti-Arpaio rally next weekend. I plan to be there to show my outrage at the worst sheriff in the west. (And I'm kind of hoping Zack can talk Tom into making an appearance :-) http://www.azcentral.com/ent/music/articles/2009/02/21/20090221delarochamarch.html
