Thoughts Over Catnip

Hello My Dear Friends. Happy Friday! I was just getting a little nip buzz going when a few thoughts crossed my mind. Lance Armstrong has officially confessed to his "flaws" and proving to America that he's even a bigger douchebag than originally thought. Who knew? American Idol really sucks. I mean REALLY sucks! What is up with Nicki Minaj? Sometimes she talks like a New Yorker. Sometimes she talks like a Brit. Why can't she decide which Country she wants to embarrass? What is with barely relevant celebrities suddenly speaking with a British accent? Madonna, Brittany Spears and now Nicki Minaj. Do they think it makes them sound smart or cultured? If they're trying to find respect, maybe they should keep their mouths shut and their clothes on. Ray Nagin, the former Mayor of New Orleans who created national controversary after hurricane Katrina by telling the federal government to "get off their asses" and send money. Turns out he "allegedly" used that money for his own personal gain. He's just been indicted on 21 counts of bribery and fraud. Charming. You know what else is interesting, folks hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 are still receiving federal aid. Folks hit by Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 are still waiting for theirs. Notre Dame's embattled linebacker Manti Te'o is a moron. How could someone that dumb get into a school like Notre Dame? Oh, that's right, he plays football.  This can only go one of two ways. Either he was involved in the hoax and he is the dumbest con man in the history of cons, or he wasn't involved and he's just dumb. I'm leaning toward the former, only because he's changed his story too many times. He said he met her, then her said he didn't. He said they spent time together in Hawaii, then he said she never showed up. Either he set up this pity hoax to improve his chances of winning the Heisman Trophy or he has some really cruel friends with a warped sense of humor. Either way, only an idiot would be involved in something like this. Finally, Dear Abby, Pauline Phillips, has died. I, for one, was amazed to hear she was still alive. She was 94. So, on this Chilly Friday,I will leave you with my favorite Dear Abby quote. "If we could sell our experiences for what they cost us, we'd all be millionaires".
