Arrrr ?

For me the biggest disappointment of the week was that “international talk like a pirate day” happened on a Saturday. Usually, if it falls on a weekday, that is a great day in the studio. As it was, no one said anything all week with the slightest twinge of “arrrrr”, and life went on as though there never was anything called “international talk like a pirate day”, which is a sad irony.

On the upside, ACORN is being investigated for promoting using HUD money for prostitution, John Edwards is about to admit he fathered the child of his mistress, the GOP is reportedly considering changing its initials to NO, "the age of stupid" is simultaneously premiering live across the country, and the Jets beat the Patriots. Wow, what a week!

I don’t know if I ever mentioned that my grandmother invented fitted sheets – you know, the sheets with the elastic corners? Yep, she invented them, but just never told anyone about it. She swore up and down that that was her idea. But I have a friend whose grandmother, in 1941, had a premonition about Pearl Harbor – but she didn’t get it until Dec. 8^th.

I was wondering if anyone wants to weigh in on this video. Read the comments underneath, they are very interesting. I have to tell you that I used to work at the World Trade Center, so even though I was in California for 9/11, I have a connection and can understand a certain sensitivity to any parody of the event . That being said, I laughed alot when I watched this: http://gizmodo.com/5359078/when-you-think-about-it-the-death-star-was-stormtroopers-911
