- “Sometimes . . . comments like that are made out of malice, but if someone has no intelligence I don’t view it as being a malicious statement” - Sen. John McCain about crazy Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert (who is loony)
- I had one of those moments yesterday where I silently and angrily did a simple household chore that Mrs. LL should have done. (She is aware of this, by the way.) I had mentioned doing something like that a couple of months ago and I referred to as "passive-aggressive conduct." But that's wrong, isn't it? That type of conduct is defined as being neutral or refusing to do something angrily and in deviance. What's the name of my conduct that involves action which appears normal (doing a chore) but with resentment? (Clinically speaking, that is. Be nice.)
- And if I only have to do one of those "it's her chores" every couple of months, I'm pretty lucky.
- Did I hear that as part of reopening the federal government that all of the furloughed workers will receive their back pay?
- "This is not a defeat from the Tea Party! If you think we were up in your grill before, you ain't seen nothing yet." - A delirious Mark Davis this morning
- Ted Cruz is smart, articulate, entertaining and crazy.
- Mark Cuban won his insider training case and bashed the prosecutor on the courthouse steps afterwards. Paraphrasing, he said, "The prosecutor said this was just business and nothing personal. But when you have people on the witness stand and you call them liars, it's personal." I finally agree with the guy about something.
- But it was funny that during his five minute post-judgment interview he actually worked in his old TV show, The Benefactor.
- The New York Times yesterday had an article about how the current testosterone craze may be a scam.
- The new Tom Hanks movie is based (perhaps loosely) on the news story involving a hijacking of a boat by pirates who were ultimately shot by Navy Seals. The week after that story happened I relayed how the Seals used gyro-stabilized rifles to compensate for the sea waves. I was immediately told I was crazy about the gyro-stabilized rifles -- but at least I had the ABC News report as a source.
- For some reason I'm annoyed by someone saying that a book or an article is a "great read."
- There was a commercial on CNN last night for some scan service where you could allegedly purchase items for pennies on the dollar. "I got this $1,200 computer for $75!!" I understand that running during a soap opera or MTV, but on CNN during prime time?
