thoughts & things

amy winehouse o.d.'s. what a shock. as shocking as janis joplin, jimi hendrix, chris farley, john belushi & lenny bruce. any bets on charlie sheen?

john boehner's republican buddies tell him to pound sand. oops.

joe walsh owes over a hundred thousand in child support. and he's the new leader in illinois?

the tollway wants to raise the rate. first time since 2005? go for it.

chicago police officers are involved in multiple shootings over the last month. here's a hint: if you're going to be stupid and point a bb gun at an officer, you're probably going to die. he doesn't have time to differentiate between real & fake in an alley at 2:00 a.m.

is anyone else tired of the rain? jeeze. stop already.

40th high school reunion coming up....i'll pass.

the lightning show the other night was top shelf. sat in the gazebo and enjoyed every minute.

paul mccartney plays two concerts at wrigley this weekend. this guy is a national treasure.

the city council in aberdeen , washington voted down naming a bridge after kurt cobain, who blew his brains out in 1994. the council cited his drug use, suicide and negative comments about aberdeen as reasons to vote down naming the bridge after him GOOD FOR THEM.

jenny mccarthy tells oprah to 'take a walk' and brings her television project to NBC instead. good for her.

oprah's OWN network is bleeding red ink. soon she will disappear into the night and hopefully forever.

and the cubs still suck. bye for now.
