Some good news and bad news coming my way these days. Thought I'd share some.
Good news! The Tigers won yesterday against the White Sox. This means they're tied for first place in the AL Central and will have one more chance to win in the tie breaker game against the Minnesota Twins.
The bad news is they were leading by SEVEN games at one point and my feelings are that even if they win against Minnesota and take the division, they've got to play the Yankees and quite frankly, I just don't see them getting it done. Trust me, it's not like I want the evil empire to beat us, but hey, let's face it reality bites.
Good news! Seems the blogosphere is filled news of faithful fans flooding USA/NBC/Universal with letters protesting the exit of Vincent and Kathryn. So they know what they're losing - whether they rather not acknowledge the truth of the lost ratings or not. Someone said the people who post online and visit fan sites are a minority and most fans don't express themselves that way. Perhaps, but the ratings for this show need all the help it can get and it's not going to get any.
The bad news is, apparently Vincent's sister has stated that he is the one who has decided to leave the show to pursue other projects. Which means really, no matter how mad we get and how loudly we yell at USA, it's no longer in their power to bring him or Kathryn back. It seems she has also decided to move on instead of being the other half of the Nichols team.
Good news! I have found a way to make politics palatable.
The bad news is I have to ignore everything. Otherwise I get this uncontrollable urge to scream at the television screen, pick up a baseball bat and hit anyone who tells me they don't know if Barack Obama is an American because he won't show us his birth certificate. I've been wishing horrible things for Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. If you all thought Wanda Sykes was bad when she wished Limbaugh's kidneys would fail, you'd be shocked at my thoughts of what I am wishing for Mr. Limbaugh and his lunatic cohort Glenn Beck. These people are so horrible even Dante couldn't imagine a level of hell horrible enough to punish them for eternity. I will throw in all the birthers, death panelists and well, Republicans who think those two actually have a point about anything.
Good news! Health care reform is moving forward.
The bad news is it's going to suck. Senator Max Baucus - a Democrat - is in the pocket of the insurance companies. He received over three million dollars from them and he was instrumental in killing free choice. He also says no way there will be a public option. So he's been bought and paid for and he's doing what his constituents want. His constituents are the insurance companies apparently.
For some lighter fluff, the good news is, our kitty Oliver is now sleeping in bed with us. He even curls up right by my head. The bad news? Well, yes, there is some bad news. He's a gassy cat and having a gassy cat sleeping on your head is NOT a good thing. :-/ Think we're going to have to have a conversation with the vet about our precious little bundle of kitty joy's diet. lol
Okay, so that's it for now. Hopefully I will get over my anger and stop sounding like Lewis Black when I talk about politicians and stupid people who actually think Barack Obama is NOT really a U.S. citizen.

Just a silly to make you giggle.
Girl, it's been a while since I visited your blog... I'm not really crushing on Jeff anymore LOL So I kinda stopped watching LOCI... But I was sad for you when I heard that Vincent and Kathryn were leaving the show... I mean Without Vincent, LOCI can't really be LOCI... Oh well It's great to hear from you, and My love goes for the Yankees this Year... Or maybe the Dodgers? haha!
Someone actually demanded to see Obama's birth certificate? Jesus, people are crazy. And you know if it was a white man doing the same thing people wouldn't be as up and arms about it. Yes there would still be opposition, but there wouldn't be the degree of fear that seems to be coming out of white America right now. It's crazy.
As for LOCI, I'm not surprised to hear Vince was ready to go...I think the money and cast issues that came up durring negotiations probably just solidified that it was time to go. And honestly I'm glad both he and Katie are exiting at the same time. Even though the E/N episodes were all right, I just think Goren and Eames were written to be on screen together and not with different partners. I'm fine with the fact that we'll just have to let them live on in fan fic.
Thanks tate31nym! I needed a good laugh.
Hi Michelle!!! I read you stopped crushing on Jeff. I think the Yankees have it made. I love the Tigers but they have been horrible lately. Thanks for stopping by! :-)
And yes, Lynnez, there are morons out there who don't want to believe Barack Obama is an American citizen. His birth certificate is/was available online for viewing but the right wing nuts and even some Republicans - mostly southern ones who have family trees with no branches - are kind of playing along with them. Like they did with the whole death panel thing.
And I am also much happier to have Eames leave with Goren. It's not right to have one without the other.
Musicwench, why isnt Obama meeting with the Dalai Lama when he visits New york? I heard this on radio this morning. Its the first time a president hasnt met this spiritual leader in 15 years.Apparently its "politically sensitive". Well, when hasnt it been!
Im shocked by this.
I haven't heard anything about Obama not meeting with the Dalai Lama. If he isn't then it's got to be political. China owns us pretty much so that's the only thing I can think of.
