Title sponsor Kathy Ireland, left, poses with LPGA Tournament of Champions golf tournament winner Lorena Ochoa, of Mexico, on Sunday, Nov. 12, 2006, at Magnolia Grove in Mobile, Ala. Ochoa won by 10 strokes. Sunday television. A rich, bountiful wonderland or a vast wasteland? It depends on your perspective, which I suppose is true of almost everything. It's raining and miserable here in the great Northeast, so I sat down for an afternoon of football and entertainment.
Over on BBC World, we were treated to an outside perspective on Tuesday's elections, complete with Rumsfeld's speech of resignation, where he said that we were in a "misunderstood war". Well, why, Mr. Rumsfeld, is the war misunderstood? If it is within your sphere of influence to impress upon us the importance of this "first war of the 21st Century", then you and your former boss have failed miserably. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Rumsfeld made that "first war" remark with the same pride that one would announce one's first born or first job. What's wrong with these people?
They should be ashamed of what they've done, yet they act strangely proud.

The BBC commentator described Tuesday's election results as a "shift in the tectonic plates" of government. Well put, sir -- whomever you are.
Over on Fox, they're promoting the new Simpson's movie, which is due on July 27, 2007. July! Geez, am I supposed to remember that? I have a dentist appointment in January that I'll probably forget about. Talk about over-hype.
Meanwhile, over on the Golf Channel, Lorena Ochoa is kicking Paula's butt. She's 24 and talented, and there may be a new Queen of women's golf on the horizon. Like Annika, one can say Lorena and know exactly to whom you are referring.

Then, on our local PBS station, good old Norm Abram is working on building something that I would rather buy than build. It looks so easy, with his $10,000 worth of tools and gadgets, plus, it looks so simple on the TV:
NORM: Let's cut this in the [$5,000] jig and see how it fits together.
**cutting**
NORM: Wow, look at that ... fits like a glove.
No shit, Sherlock. It's a TV show. Do you think they'd show us if it didn't fit?
DIRECTOR: Take 17! Norm, this time, try to concentrate, will ya? We're running out of wood.
NORM: OK. It's hard with the lights and all. Plus, I really can't read this ruler. Is that a sixteenth or eighth? What's it look like to you?
DIRECTOR: It looks like another thousand dollars if you don't f***ing FOCUS!
NORM: All right ... look ... this wood is brittle. Can't we just go to IKEA?
DIRECTOR: If people wanted to go to IKEA, they'd buy a Fjord and an Allen wrench. ACTION!
Then, I switch over to MSNBC, where Tim Russert is interviewing future (not) Republican candidate John McCain, whom I used to like.
John goes on to tell us that when oil was $10 a barrel, he didn't think Ethanol was a good idea, but when it was $40 a barrel, it was. When Tim calls him on it - by showing him NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS of him saying it, John says, "I don't think I said that", which, in essence is calling Tim and the newspaper liars.
Well, John, either Ethanol is a good idea or it's not. It really doesn't matter how much oil costs. CD players are a good idea, too; even though I still have a cassette player. Go scratch your ass, John.
I'm officially off the bandwagon - if I was ever on it. My bandwagon runs on batteries, anyway, and you're a short-sighted clown.
Methinks John is only interested in foistering his own political agenda, and will even contradict himself in his effort to secure the Republican nomination.
He went on to say that he believed that the country was "conservative and right-leaning" and that the elections were not a real expression of how America felt.
If elections aren't a true measure of how we feel, then maybe you shouldn't bother running, because we're going to kick your Arizona ass to the curb. Americans can smell a phony, and you're as phony as they come.

I always knew that it wasn't as easy as old Norm made it look! I find projects like that are an excuse for a man to buy tools he will never use again and to spend twice as much as it would to just buy the thing pre-made.
John McCain can kiss my ass. I'd offer the same to Rummy but I think I would have to dip my ass in bleach afterwards, and that does not sound like fun.
McCain is very out of touch. He doesnt even see how his own state is swinging away it was politically 10 years ago.
And Lorena maybe good, very very good actually, but Paula is sooooo much better looking :)
