MRI

My dog may need an MRI. If she does, I will do it no matter the cost, even though I know as I write those words that my grandmother is looking down from heaven with a look of horror on her face.

You know you’ve arrived when…

If there was any doubt that Stephen Colbert has become the cultural, political and otherwise arbiter for the new generation, it was resolved when guest Nancy Pelosi was followed the next night by Placido Domingo. Wow.

What is their problem

Obama has handed the Republicans a plateful of election issues that could destroy his re-election campaign. Instead of focusing on them, the Republicans are playing religious morality police like some western versions of the Ayatollahs of Iran. Seriously, do they even have a clue?

Alec Baldwin

I think Alec Baldwin is great to watch as an actor and talk show guest. So why do I also think he’d be an insufferable and obnoxious friend in real life?

Speaking of Ricky Gervais

If he’s ever interested in a slightly older, somewhat out of any shape woman who thinks he’s the sexiest thing since Gibbs, have him call me. In fact, I would actually toss Gibbs over the side for Ricky. Can’t resist the evil twinkle in his eyes.

I don’t know what he did recently to piss her off but for the past two days he has clung to the top of the cage where he can’t reach his favorite food… or any food for that matter… until such time as CB climbs up to her perch and he feels it’s safe to come down. This means she gets all the nuts and bananas and AviCakes first and
