We live in a country where doctors will give fertility treatments to women who already have six kids. The irony of this whole thing is that she was having these kids through in vitro because her body was not able to easily produce kids. Fourteen later...
I was in line at Taco Bell today. Two things made me mad:
- I'm still not happy that they don't carry the Volcano Taco any more. The Cheesy Bacon Gordita Crunch is merely a passable substitute. The Volcano was the closest thing a fast food restaurant has ever come to serving sex in a paper wrapper. Moving on.
- If you're standing in front of me in line talking on your cell phone for five minutes while other people order and then get to the counter and say, "Can you hold on a second? Let's see... I don't know what I want." I should be permitted by law to pick up the cash register and drop it on your stupid head.
Country star Alan Jackson has remained popular even though he's been singing basically the same song for the last half a decade. Did you know that he's from "the country", and considers himself a "country boy"? No, really.
Just as I predicted, no Oscar love for The Dark Knight. It will just have to settle for the Hossie and the love an adoration of me and legions of geeked out males all over the planet.
In a semi related note, I saw some more trailers for "Watchmen" and the thing looks dope. If they have a midnight showing somewhere in the area, try keeping me away.
Here's how the last 50 years worth of Illinois governors have worked out:
- Rod Blagojevich (2003-09), removed from office on charges of being corrupt and a despicable person
- George Ryan (1999-2003), currently in prison serving time for armed robbery... wait, not armed robbery... corruption. That makes more sense.
- Daniel Walker (1973-77), convicted in his post-gubernatorial career of defrauding a Savings and Loan. (You might remember the S&L Crisis period. It was a government bailout before government bailouts were all the rage, like say, today. I dream of one day starting my own failing business so that I can get some of that bailout action. That's what I call entrepreneurial spirit.)
- Otto Kerner (1961-68), sentenced to three years in prison on numerous counts of bribery and perjury among others.
- William Stratton (1953-61), charged with tax evasion and later acquitted.
Illinois politics is a straight up freak show. This Kerner guy got caught because the person he took bribes from tried to write them off on their income taxes as "the cost of doing business in Illinois."
Couple of thoughts about the Super Bowl:
- Kurt Warner's hand was definitely coming forward. That was an incomplete pass and should have been reviewed.
- Immediately after the game, I get a text from Grant: "I'm glad the Lions didn't win this Super Bowl. The hats are ugly." Well, then. I guess there is always 2010 for the Kitties from Detroit City. He's totally right about the hats, though. The only uglier hats I can recall are the hats from the Packers Super Bowl year:

- Thank you to Danica Patrick. Up until now you had tried to maintain this charade about how you wanted to be respected in your professional capacities for being a race car driver not for doing swimsuit issues and Maxim shoots. Glad to see you finally get in where ya fit in.
I'm finished,
Nate
