Happy Halloween to all! This weeks Top Ten....
1. Congrats to the Philadelphia Phillies on a great season and a World Championship! Overall I thought the series was lackluster and certainly a TV ratings bomb, however I did like the three and a half inning finale! As a footnote the Tampa Bay Rays also had a season they should be proud of and looking at that team it appears they will be in the mix for years to come.
2. Well as this election draws near I think if I see another political ad I'll put my foot through the TV. Then to add insult to injury Obama takes out a thirty minute feel good infomercial at prime time. I think he has to many contributors if he can buy an 8-8:30 time slot on three major stations. I won't get into who I feel should win or lose now I just want it over, sad considering it is an extremely important election, kind of like all of those commercials before Christmas!
3. Did anyone pick the Tennessee Titans to be undefeated at this point in the season....
4. We have now come to the end of probably the most volatile month on Wall Street in a century. I hope all of you out there were protected and didn't lose to much. Unfortunately my personal belief is we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg. Major companies seem to be unilaterally laying off, the GNP has dropped .03% in the third quarter, and though it is beginning to thaw the credit markets have tightened their collective belts so tightly that it will be years before we wade through this disaster! Good luck to all!
5. I read a report earlier this year that more Americans had died in Chicago than in Iraq up to this point in the year (I think it was through September 15th) I'm not sure if it was true or not but if so maybe we should get out of Chicago!!! On a more serious note as we come into the holiday season remember the soldiers that are fighting and dying for our way of life half way around the world in Iraq and Afghanistan, whether you think they should be there or not.
6. I look at some of the halloween costumes out there today and only shake my head. When I was a kid I might of had a light saber or a sheet with eye slits cut out but the costume wasn't as important as the size of your goodie bag...
7. I think the Cleveland Cavaliers should be ashamed of themselves for going back to the locker room instead of watching the Celtics raise their 17th banner and their ring ceremony. There have been plenty of years where the Red Sox had enough class to sit in the dugout and watch the Yankees get their rings and visa-versa (recently anyway). Cleveland you shouldn't let Lebron dictate the level of class on your team because he doesn't want to watch another team celebrate. That's easy to fix Lebron, win yourself!
8. Interesting story about State Sen. Dianne Wilkerson who was allegedly (Ok kevin?) caught taking bribes. I guess her bra size is a 23G.
9. Has anyone seen in good movies lately??? I know that I haven't, if you have please send them along (No adult titles Scott tell me those privately)
10. Has anyone been as amazed as I am with the new prosthetics that are available to our returning soldiers. I was watching a show on discovery that featured injured soldiers at Walter Reed that were being fitted with new limbs and was so happy to see the pride on the faces of these young men and women who now coan do everything you and I can without help. And I was watching the news last night were they said they are already experimenting with growng artificial human lungs in the lab. Maybe I won't quit smoking just yet, the SNL Lung Brush is finally hitting the market....
Have a great week!
