A Couple of Quick Thoughts

(Reporting from the backyard gazebo/88 degrees and awesome)

Just a couple of quick thoughts on a brilliantly beautiful Saturday afternoon, the first day of summer in Chicago...

President Obama needs to speak out on Iran. Specifically, the protests, the government's snatch of media credentials from foreign correspondents and the beatings of students in their dorms to keep them off the streets. We don't need to send in troops but a strongly worded speech decrying what the Iranian government is doing to its people is absolutley necessary.

People who aim their cars at bicyclists who are only on the street to avoid broken sidewalks should be . . . given a stern talking-to! (In light of the above paragraph I can't call for violence, can I?)

Of course Nestle's HAD to recall the pre-prepared dough for my favorite cookies. Good grief! If you eat raw cookie dough (containing raw eggs) you should expect to get sick. Like I did. Once. Before I realized what I was eating. Barfed for two days.

Speaking of throwing up, anyone who believes the plot line of John and Kate Shouldn't Be Mates needs to understand that everything in the media now about that show is there for one reason: to promote the show. Cheating stories, divorce stories...it's all scripted. Think professional wrestling. This is the domestic version of WWF. I'm surprised no one's car has blown up yet. Of course, the divorce isn't filed. Just wait for it. Right around the corner. Filed under: BUILD SUSPENSE.

Have a great weekend folks!
