Rants, Raves, and Bewilderment: 29-August-2010

Rant: I am having trouble getting motivated to write this blog. I really don't seem to be able to work up much enthusiasm to even write a rant. Maybe I need the horrible ABC program, Private Practice to motivate me.

Rant: The Red Sox are now in the break your heart mode. They beat Tampa Bay on Friday and lose to them last night. This team gets your hope up that maybe they can make the playoffs by coming close and then lose key games. Injuries killed this team's chances.

Bewilderment: Linda McMahon, the CEO of the World Wrestling Entertainment company and Republican nominee for the US Senate is bashing the Democrat candidate Richard Blumenthal by claiming he lied about taking PAC money. Only problem, she fails to name specifics. Why is she starting a negative campaign, given all the dirt that is out there on her? Wrestling promoters are the most corrupt people around, she is the last person who should be slinging mud.

Rant: Persons Unknown (NBC) like Joss Whedon's Dollhouse, started off with lots of promise and now has quickly sunk to the depths of utter boredom. I could care less what happens to these people and what the crappy program is all about. NBC is pushing this new show, The Event, which I think is going to be the same piece of crap as this show.

Oh well.

Rants, Raves, and Bewilderment: 22-August-2010

I am changing the tone of this blog to short comments about my raves, my rants, and my general bewilderment at the world. Time to try something new.

Rant: After being off the Internet for a while due to my vacation in Harrisburg, PA, I have to say what the frak is up with PA newspapers? News exists outside of PA, yet not one word could I find about the results of the CT primaries until I got to the public library and did checked out the New London Day website. I miss my computer.

Rant: Linda McMahon wins the Republican primary for the US Senate nomination. Seriously, folks in CT really believe she is qualified to be a US Senator. Well, a easy vote for me, I am going with Richard Blumenthal.

Rave: Ned Lamont, after spending a ton of money, was rejected by CT Democratic votes and Dan Malloy will be running for Governor against Tom Foley. Thank God, some intelligent voters are still alive and well in CT.

Rant: Injuries decimated the Boston Red Sox to the point that the team will not make the playoffs. So the hated Yankees with that weak ass pitching staff will make the playoffs, please somebody eliminate them ASAP.

Rave: I am loving the Glades (A&E) and hope it gets renewed, a great show and fun to watch.

Rant: I cannot believe how few good movies came out in August. Usually my sister and I got to the movies when we get together on our family vacations and could not find anything that we wanted to see. Where are all the good movies?

Oh well.
