Random Weekend Thoughts

Welcome to the weekend! Rather bleak on the news front this week unless you are flying anywhere near Iceland. If you are thereabouts you will be spending some time washing the soot out of your hair. Good to know the volcano over there is as agitated as the rest of the world is with that bankrupt speck of an island.

Thinking it may be time to add some more polls into the quarry. Assuming everybody watches something other than American Idol may be wildly unfounded but let’s try anyway.
TOP 5 Sitcoms of all-time.
1. All in the Family
2. Seinfeld
3. The Office
4. MASH
5. Sanford and Son
Honorable mentions go to Frazier, Cheers, Sunny in Philly and The Jefferson’s
This list does not included animated shows. If so, the Simpsons and South Park would have been considered.

Weigh in with your picks. Let’s generate some lively debate over nothing important. No better way to expend our valuable time on the weekend!

Couple of more serious issues for those who prefer less frivolous utilization of your valuable time.

So long Eric Massa. Your resignation was long over due. Your misuse of public confidence and pathologically contemptible behavior is to be condemned. This is not who we need managing our great country.

3 from the Who Knew dept?

Ricky Martin NEEDED to come out?
Steven Seagal was that desperate?
Goldman Sachs was raping and pillaging through backroom deals while taking TARP funds?

Funny, like a Tarantino movie…
19 year old at MI State Univ. is arrested for possession of 79 thongs he had stolen from coed dorm rooms. Crazy kook in waiting or Frat Hero? You make the call.

Lastly, progressive fundamentalists nationwide are advocating “Faith diets” What a revelation! If you think, meditate, even pray instead of shoving Twinkies down your talking hole you will lose weight. Amazing.. You read it here first. Slowing down your consumption contributes to weight loss. Bet you didn’t know the Quarry would be such a source of competent medical advice. Just an extemporaneous reward for the loyal fans.
Soapbox warning:

Just had to SHOUT this quote.
"There is no crueler tyranny than that which is perpetrated
under the shield of law and in the name of justice."
-- Charles-Louis de Secondat

For the thinkers out there, we must band together and return to fiscal, political and ethical relevance on a daily basis. For the Doers among us your actions must manifest themselves in fruitful endeavors aligned with those same principles. Our country, our children’s future and our lives depend on this.

OK. Soapbox removed:

To the Way Up North Crew- who will have a better season Twins or Rays? Let us hear your extravangantly researched rationale so we may argue over ridiculously immaterial stats. I’m saying Rays.

Have a super weekend. Treat yourself to something nice today. Have an ice cream; Take a walk in the park. Think wonderful thoughts and they will come true.

Out till next time...
