Monday Morning Quarterbacking
IT'S MONDAY. THE ROUTINE RESUMES, THE CLOCK STRIKES 12, WE MEET AND GREET AT THE PROVERBIAL WATERCOOLER. If Crabby were spending time at one, here's what she'd say:
Hillary wins another "symbolic" primary. That's a lot of symbolism, folks. Even the BBC raises its eyeshade with the headline, "Media see hollow Clinton victory." I don't think winning California, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida fits into the symbolism analogy. The media has done a dozy of a job shoving one particular candidate to the front of the pack. I definitely back Geraldine Ferraro's call for a study of sexism in media coverage.
The caricature of a white man acting black that is Rev. Michael Pfleger finally forced Barack to play his final card: the Illinois Senator handed back his membership card to the United Church of Christ on the South side of Chicago. This is what your momma means when she tells you to be careful about the company you keep. Two ministers, both longtime so-called spiritual advisors to
Obama, have worked mightily to derail their highest-status member. Now Rev. Pfleger alleges deep contrition for insulting Hillary. I say spout that line in confession, Father.
Somewhere out there, they're watching us. The 'who' are aliens, and a Colorado man says he has the video to prove it. "The evidence is very compelling, very convincing, and this video is really just a small slice of the bigger body of evidence that really confirms extraterrestrial beings do exist, they've visited our planet,'' said Jeff Peckman. "There's been a lot of interactions. The federal government certainly knows this and now were just trying to bring it to the local level." Apparently the aliens collectively need scripts for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors to get over their shyness. Alien-beings, step out from the shadows! The Vatican says that you are our brothers and sisters!
There was lots and lots of sex this weekend, just perhaps not in your and my bedroom. Sex and the City, the movie, had the biggest debut on record for a romantic comedy, taking in $55.7 million over the weekend, the fifth-highest debut for an R-rated film. The news sent producers and Warner Bros. executives' squealing with the possibility of more 'Sex.' Girlfriends last forever, don't cha know?
Finally, the kiddies entertained themselves this weekend at the MTV Movie Awards, where Lindsy Lohan inadvertently flashed photographers, making their day. Fan favorite Johnny Depp took home two golden popcorn statues. The ceremony was held at Universal Studios Hollywood, despite a fire on the studio lot there at the weekend. Oh to be young and beautiful.
