Wow, They Did It Again.

Americans, almost despite themselves, have somehow done the right thing again, even when the right thing is a left thing...universal health care. One of the most important and historic pieces of legislation in US history passed yesterday through the senate with all the ease and grace of a pea sized kidney stone.

Of course the really important news of the day was that Tiger Woods granted two short, one on one interviews. The first with the very hot Golf Channel personality, Kelly Tilghman...the second, with some guy.

Tiger has cost the PGA, and anyone associated with professional golf, untold millions of dollars with his philandering ways. When he's not around public interest drops way off and as such the choice of Tilghman as interviewer has the faint odor of revenge. After all, the Golf Channel sending a sexy, very white, woman to interview the straying golfer is like MTV sending a lit crack pipe to interview Amy Winehouse.

To his credit, Tiger managed to hold it together for the first interview but was clearly distracted during the 2nd.

Thanks to The Blob's "thought cam" we can get a better look at what was actually going on.

Man, if ever the "thought cam" fell into the wrong hands, eh??!!

And so Tiger Woods continues on his tortuous path towards redemption as his country, led by another world famous Mulatto (what..is that not the right term these days?), passes a bill that assures that no family will be denied care for their autistic child's pre-existing condition or will be bankrupted (or worse) because of astronomical costs. The crazy right, you know; Limbaugh, Palin, Beck, Hannity, the Tea Partyers etc. are still mightily peeved that they lost the last election and that their fear mongering was soundly repudiated. Now this, and just when they thought they had something going again. The rhetoric and litigious nitpicking will now be ratcheted up and if you're not careful you may be swayed by the lies and vitriol. Watch Jon Stewart and stay the course! http://watch.thecomedynetwork.ca/#clip276647 (this is a tour de force....Glen Beck will never be the same)

Bishop Responsible

Peter Graves (AKA Jim Phelps, leader of the Mission Impossible team) died this past weekend at about the same time that serious allegations about Joseph Ratzinger (AKA Pope Benedict XVI, leader of the Catholic Church) and a cover-up of priestly pedophilia were coming to light.

The crack Blob research team has managed once again to find a connection, albeit tenuous, between these two men and recent events. Listen up:

• Both men changed their names for professional reasons...Graves from Arness because his brother James was already the well known star of Gunsmoke. Ratzinger to Benedict because of some edict that I was too lazy to look up.


• Both men were devoutly Christian


• Peter Graves, born in 1926, played a Nazi in Stalag 17 while Ratzinger, born in 1927, played one in the Hitler Youth.


• Graves, despite a flagging post MI career almost turned down his most celebrated roll; Captain Oveur in the cult classic Airplane. He strongly objected to the scene in question because it had his character hitting on a little boy beginning with the now famous opening line "ever been in a cockpit before?" Graves was troubled by this but eventually decided to go ahead with the self-parody of the stalwart and upstanding Phelps thereby paving the way for similar star turns by Leslie Nielsen and Al Gore.

• The current Pope, born in 1927, may have been responsible for enforcing a secret Vatican vow of silence regarding sex crimes known by its Latin name Crimen Sollicitationis. Watch this disturbing BBC report: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3335354490744010763#


• Graves - US Navy. Ratzinger - Nazi anti-aircraft unit. (ok...so he deserted, the war was almost over anyways!)

Two men, born a year apart who's lives took different paths and who made difficult choices in the face of some serious moral questions. We lost a good one yesterday.

Already With the New Sponsors (look at Mr. fancy bigshot!!)

Only back posting for a couple of days and the sponsors are literally knocking my door down. I'm talking, of course, about the recent incident involving Teddy and Loob Munson (the Munson brothers, and owners of Munson's Bevelled ham..."Better cause it's bevelled!!), a gambling debt, and a home invasion. But that's besides the point, although I could use a delicious, angled slice of that smoky, country ham right about now!

At any rate, if you like video games and are the least bit anal retentive then your day has finally arrived!! An extra $150 bucks and Play Station will provide the exciting reed making module!!
Did somebody say "Say goodbye to going outside??!!??"




If you are looking for something more suitable for the less coordinated and attentive 3-7 year old then hang in there. Sources tell me that the much awaited Euphonium Hero is only weeks away!
