2's Day 2k9

Happy Tuesday!!!!!

God is good and it's almost the most thankful of turkey days. The move into the new house is going rather slower than I predicted or wanted. The wife and the barking, hairy children love the new place.

There's yet ANOTHER story making the rounds about young adults moving back in with their respective moms and dads.

The French say they don't like war, but don't seem to mind making it easier for others to do so. The French are marketing a new high tech warship to the Russian navy this week. Brazil has agreed to buy five French Scorpene submarines, one of them with nuclear propulsion, and 50 Cougar helicopters for about $12 billion. All would be assembled in Brazil.

China executed two people Tuesday for their roles in a tainted milk powder scandal in which at least six children died and more than 300,000 became sick. Why can't they be like the Japanese corporate crooks and commit suicide?

Regis Philbin will be taking a leave of absence from "Ripa" to undergo a hip replacement surgery. GWS Regis!

While I'm NOT a huge fan of American Idol runner up Adam Lambert nor his proclivities towards males, he is a definite rocker. ABC received a paltry 1500 complaints about Lambert's sexy performance and lip lock on a male guitar player during the network's broadcast of the "American Music Awards" Sunday night. Both dudes look like a lady to me.

At the ripe old age of 26, Joe Mauer now has an AL Most Valuable Player award to add to a jam-packed trophy case that already holds three batting titles, three Silver Sluggers and two Gold Gloves.

Steeler back up Charlie Batch is out for the season with a wrist injury he suffered while he spelled Ben Roethlisberger in last Sunday's OT loss to the 2-7 KC Chiefs. Too bad St Pierre is now with othr former Steelers in Arizona.

On this day in 1971, after collecting a ransom payout of $200,000, "D. B. Cooper" leaped out of the rear stairway of the airplane he had hijacked over the Pacific Northwest and disappeared.

Well, it's nearly 8:30am, been at work for 2 hours, 10 to go. I'm now ready to get the day over with.

In case I don't' see ya, Happy Turkey day, all!!
