+ So we've got two men making a late push for "Douche bag of the Year" award : Democratic Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who has been arrested for allegedly scheming to profit from naming President-Elect Barack Obama's now vacant Illinois Senate seat by asking for gifts, favors and cash from potential candidates. Obama has of coursed called for the Governor to step down. Which he absolutely should and then he should be prosecuted and if found guilty go to jail.
+ Next I come back to my home state of Texas where Republican Congressman Joe Barton, a ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, has introduced legislation to...wait for it...wait for it...end the BCS system. Huh!? Now I am of course by no means at all a BCS apologizer or fan and I like it when I hear our newly elected President say he's in favor at making a change to a college football playoff system, but to waste time and taxpayer money on such a ludicrous piece of non-legislation is just dumbfounding. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. Found everywhere.
+ Trying to Christmas shop without a list in your hands, going on nothing but the stubbornness of believing you have it all in your head, is not a good idea and will cause a lot of unnecessary anxiety and frustration.
+ Laughter really is the best medicine. I can not begin to explain the joy of exposing...er, maybe that's the wrong word to use, the joy of introducing a young person to a comedy milestone known as "Animal House". As you watch and laugh as you have hundreds of times before and as you watch them laugh and see the look in their eyes as they realize that their entire world has just been blown away by and they will keep their promise of deleting Dane Cook as a Myspace friend and adding "Duck Soup" along with anything made by Peter Sellers or Woody Allen in the 1960s or 70s to their Netflix que.
+ I really do feel confident that Colt McCoy will be awarded the Heisman Trophy this Saturday evening at the Downtown Athletic Club in Manhattan. Sure it's going to be the closest race in the treasured history of the award, but I don't think Tim Tebow or Sam Bradford have had the X-factor that McCoy has had this year for Texas. Going into this season, there was nothing but question marks around how good this Longhorn team could possibly be. Tebow and his Gators and Bradford's Sooners are playing for the National Championship and that's pretty much where most college football pundits believed they could or should be going into this season. Of course, I'm biased in that I want Colt to win the Heisman, but that doesn't change the fact that he should and probably will win. And it's not by any means a consolation prize for not being able to play for the Big 12 or National Championship. He's coming back next year and this time around there won't be anymore question marks surround Colt or the Longhorns.
+ Welcome to the dark side CC Sabathia.
+ So there's this new game for Playstation 3, Mortal Kombat versus DC Comics Universe, and it's really quite awesome. Great characters, visuals, effects and lots of mindless violence. Here's to hoping we get ourselves a really cool Street Fighter versus Marvel Comics next year.
+ Speaking of cool shit I've been checking out with my new PS3, the special features on the gorgeous Iron Man BluRay disc are fantastic. Really love getting to see the rehearsal footage of Robert Downey, Jr. and Jeff Bridges. No FX, no costumes. Just two guys working it out. Of course The Dark Knight disc has now arrived and I'm going to need to take a few days to digest all the great stuff that has to offer other than the fact that I get to watch the best film of the year I've seen so far and further my obsession over Heath Ledger's Joker.
