It's been a good weekend

Well I survived the great baby shower of 2010 and truth be told it wasn't as bad as I feared.  We had a great turnout and got a ton of stuff for Morgan.  We have a wonderful support base from friends and family.  So enough with the touchy feely shit, let's get to the show.  :-D

Item #1 --Football

A)  Pitt vs Bal, NYJ vs Pats...does the football or the hatred get any better?

B)  Thank baby Jesus that we get Auburn vs Oregon.  If the undeserving TCU got in I'd have lost my mind.  Let them play someone like Wisconsin and be done with it.  Also, ND vs Miami.  I don't care if its a lower midcard bowl, there is something special about that match up.

C) High School football championships were this weekend and there were some very good games and some ass whippings.  5 out of 6 were public vs private schools and I believe the Privates swept 5-0.  So now we get another 8 months of pissing and moaning about how there needs to be separate playoffs or how the evil private schools recruit.  Of course a public school with open enrollment is completely above board and never do anything wrong.....

Item #2   Movie Review:  Passengers.

Let me give you the short short version without ruining this.  Anne Hathaway is pretty good looking.  The cast wasn't bad.  The movie sort of drug on and the ending was not completely a surprise but done pretty well.  I won't tell you to move it to the top of your netflix list but if you're looking for a not-horrific 2 hours to spend I'd put it in the top 15-20.  *** out of *****

Item #3  Tax Cuts

The dems want to keep Bush's cuts for middle-lower class.  Reps want them for everyone since ya know..those horrible rich people pay most of the income taxes in this country and create a nice slice of the jobs which we need since Barack's still an inch below 10% unemployment.  So they play games and the incoming Speaker called it chicken shit.  Next year's Congress might be interesting to see how long they can play nice.  My opinion is renew them for everyone.  Tax breaks aren't the problem in Washington, the problem is these career politicians spending OUR money like it's THEIR money.  Stop spending like a virgin in a whorehouse and maybe we can cut the debt.

Item #4  Wikileaks

So now the asshole who runs this thing says if he's arrested he'll release a giant secret dossier of embarrassing documents.  

He's like a bad Bond villain...and not the 'Roger Moore is getting old' villain...the kind they'd match up with Timothy Dalton.  I have a crazy idea.  First, we kill this mother fucker.  Second, we send them a document which when they read it, or anyone else downloads it, it ruins their hard drive and alerts us to where they are so we can arrest and have a talkin' to with them.  

Item #5   The end of my 2 favorite Series..for now.

Walking Dead and Boardwalk Empire both have season finales tonight.  Both of these shows are great and I can't wait to see what happens next.  Waiting till next Oct for WD will suck but as long as they don't screw anything up in the meantime it'll be worth the wait.
