So it’s starting to look and feel a lot like summer time again. Not because the weather, the ever present sun or the aimless adolescents wandering the streets all day with 40 oz. red bulls in each hand, but because the annual Scripps National Spelling Bee has just concluded. Some say the Hotdog contest at Coney Island NJ over Memorial Day weekend is the kick-off to summer, some say the beginning of the college baseball post-season is, but I stand by it’s the gathering of every ethnicity in this country, outside of Caucasian, at the spelling bee that marks it for me. The Bee, where brown and brown is preferred is kind of the Anti-Miss America, where blonde and blue is. They air this on ESPN, you ought to see their relatives try and find this on the cable guide. The only chance an Anglo really has is if they have had the social misfortune of being home-schooled. Noting against home-schooling, I mean someone has to keep an eye on the moonshine still or play QB at Florida. The bee does remind us that our call centers will always be manned, Lord of The Rings will never not be popular and all smart kids really do where glasses and don’t own mirrors. Congratulations to Kavya Shivashankar this years Queen Bee. I guess bubbling in that name on enough scantrons, makes one proficient in linguistics and etymology.
North Korea is showing off their nuke capable bottle rockets again, and why not when your only consequence is a strong denouncement from the rest of the world. They aren’t allowed to look at pictures of their leader for fear of their eyes turning to stone, do you really think stern words from Hillary Clinton are going to scare them? Her threats have yet to scare Bill, an intern, a b-list actress or a former Arkansas State employee. There is a reason Hiroshima and Nagasaki don’t play cat and mouse games like this anymore.
Barry and Michelle O spent the weekend in New York, catching a play and having a date weekend. Not only is this guy the worlds biggest celebutard, but now’s he showing up all the rest of us by having a $24K date weekend during this recession!! Come on Barry, your breaking man-code here in a major way. How are DVR’ed Office re-runs, and venison steaks suppose to compete with this?
Congratulations to the Texas A&M Mens Golf Team, your 2009 National Champions. Quite a feat for the rag-tag bunch of Spaniards and red-necks stuck in College Station. Now if we can move some of the Meat Judging trophies to the left and the Equestrian trophies to the right we should have a bit of room in the National Championship Trophy case. So suck it Pepperdine, Ok State, Florida, Arkansas, Texas, every school in Arizona and all you other golf powerhouses, there is clearly a shift in power taking place.
