Mike Wise Is An Idiot

I listen to his show occasionally when I am in my car, only because the show before them is who I listen to in the AM.

Well, to prove a point, he tweeted that Big Ben has been suspended for 5 games, just to see how it would flow in media outlets across the country. He fabricated the story, and as such, has been suspended by The Washington Post for 1 month.

Everytime I listed to him, he is arguing with someone, just for the sake of arguing. Just the other day, he was interviewing Jason Reid, the Washington Post Redskins Insider, and I actually got the sense over the radio that JReid really does not like him.

He is annoying and should not only be suspended for this stupid stunt, but should be fired altogether...just to prove a point!

Things Not To Say...

I just finished an interview with a candidate...

As we finished up, I asked him if he had any questions of me...

His Response...

"So....um....How did I do?"

My New Shawshank

You know how when you are flipping channels, and you stumble upon The Shawshank Redemption, and you stop, and then no matter how far into the movie, or even if it is on TBS with commercials, you have to stop and watch...

Well I still do that...

Now I have another movie to add to it. I realize this movie was not well received, but I really like it.

The Last Samurai.

Tom Cruise has not done a good movie since Top Gun. I really liked this one though.

Also,

I almost dropped my blackberry in the urinal just now.

I Highly Recommend...

any of the Comedy Central Roasts. The other night was David Hasselhoff. I was busting out laughing for a solid 90 minutes. In years past, they have done them for Pam Anderson, Larry the Cable Guy, and others.

All of them are so entertaining, and so politically incorrect.

Enjoy!

We Are Hiring...

at my company...we have a goal to hire 5,000 people this year.

Yes that is right...5,000.

Who says the economy is lagging?

PGA Wrap Up

As I am sure in due time, my good friend RRD96 will provide a better wrap up on the conclusion to the PGA, but allow me my $0.02...

I have been a Golf Fan for maybe 10 years, and am certainly not a historian in any way. However, I can say without any hesitation, that this was the most entertaining / confusing / goofy / horrific finish to a golf tourney I can remember.

I was rooting for Rory McIlroy to win, purely because I had money on it, however, once he was eliminated, I wanted to see a 3-way playoff, but because of a goofy local rule, poor Dustin Johnson, who seems like a consumate gentlemen, was relegated to a T5.

The 2-way playoff was miraculous in its own right. The birdies to start on 10 and 17, followed by the "gamesmanship" on 18 was remarkable. I was rooting for Bubba (again for the money and the USA ties), however to watch him nearly hole out of the bunker, and pressure Martin Kaymer would have been unbelievable. Nonetheless, the best golfer this past weekend probably won.

Not spoken about, as often is the case, was Nick Watney. This guy has a nice career ahead of him and the pressure of playing in the final group on Sunday clearly got to him. Like Dustin Johnson at the US Open, he will be back...

By the way, not to change subject, but HRH Obama was on vacation again this weekend, and where did he go...surprise surprise....Gulf Region!

Great new local site, built in the model of the drudge report...

Can You Tell Me How To Get....

How to get to Sesame Street...

Think about that jingle for the rest of the day....

How times have changed...in watching an episode this morning with my boy, Bert and Ernie were doing their usual schtick, and in the scene Bert is getting all freaked out about this Old Wise Duck that they are going to see in a Dark Cave, to ask him a question.

Bert, all scared, says to Ernie "Can't we just email him?"

The show is exactly as I remember it, even the graphics are the same...but funny how technology has changed the way they talk to one another.

The Whirlwind of Travel

Having been on the road for 3 weeks, you tend to fall behind on a lot of things...

Namely:

  • Sleep
  • Emails/Calls to Friends
  • Work

Not necessarily in that order...

I need routine back in my life after the month of July
