More Observations

1. Big news, Britney Spears has filed for divorce from her husband, citing irreconcilable differences. The difference was in their feelings towards each other. It seems K-Fed thought he was a good rapper, while Britney felt he was a no-talent hack.

2. In politics, the Democrats won control of the House. You could tell this was the case by the audible "Hoo Yah" from Howard Dean.

3. The Senate is still up for grabs. It looks like this will end up in the courts. In other words, expect the Republicans to stay in control.

4. Today is the deadline to bid on D-Mat. In other words, today is the day the Yanks get to negotiate with him.

5. The Red Sox have declined the option on closer Keith Foulke, who was key to their winning the WS in 2004. Way to keep that winning team together there Theo. How long till you lose Big Papi?

6. More on K-Fed. Seems he had to beg to not have a concert at Webster Hall cancelled due to lackluster ticket sales. Then, he waited 3 hours to go on stage, hoping more than 200 people out of 1,500 would show up. Mercifully, he "rapped" for only 1/2 hour. Of course, by that time, the audience was so drunk they didn't even have the ability to boo him off the stage.

7. The Knicks have gotten off to a 1-3 start. Like last season, the coach is benching starters, and using weird substitutions. Perhaps Larry Brown has used the old Jedi Mind trick on Zeke?

8 Hey Falcons fans, how's John Abraham doing for you? What's that, he's injured? Wow, that never happened in NY.

9. The Raiders were shut out on Monday. The joke is the Raiders themselves.

10. Jets Patriots this weekend is the second meeting of Bill Belichicken and Eric Boygini. If the Jets should somehow win, Belichicken will give Boygini the silent treatment. Oh, wait, he's already doing that.

11. Belichicken's son was busted for pot possession. No word on whether Bill is making his son run extra laps as punishment.

12. Actor Neil Patrick Harris announced he was gay. This comes after Lance Bass and an actor from Grey's Anatomy announced the same. I knew celebrity deaths came in 3's, but not career suicide.

13. Kirstie Alley appeared on Oprhah in a bikini. Thankfully, the special material prevented a wardrobe malfunction.

14. This just in, Pedro Martinez still may retire at some point in the future.

15. George Steinbrenner fainted at a performance of Caberet in which a relative was performing. Apparently, George was disappointed the show did not last longer than his Crack Broadway Advisors told him it would.

That's all for now.
