Bye bye Rove Monday

Sometimes its really nice to say goodbye to someone. Like Karl Rove. Bush's "brain" has decided to pack it in at the end of the month:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/13/washington/13cnd-rove.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin
Now all we gotta do is wait out the remaining months of Bush and Cheney and let some other idiot louse up the country some more. Whoever the next prez is it won't be Tommy Thompson. The former WI gov and Bush cabinet member quit the race after finishing last in the Iowa straw poll over the weekend. This crop of candidates is so bad it makes me wish John Kerry or Mike Dukakis were running. Those boring northeasterners have more charisma and ideas then these bozos in the race. Hey Al Gore....get your kid thru rehab and start running.

When is this country going to do something serious with gun control? Isn't someone who opens fire on people at church a terrorist? How is going on a shooting spree any different than a sucide bomber?:http://breakingnews.nypost.com/dynamic/stories/C/CHURCH_SHOOTING?SITE=NYNYP&SECTION=HOME

Elvis has been dead 30 years this week. Those who obsess over bad acting, sideburns and costumes flock to Graceland to pay homage:http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/sns-ap-people-elvis-anniversary,1,6815162.story

Stopped at 3 Best Buy's yesterday looking for the elusive Nintendo Wii. No luck. Microsoft has dropped the price of the Xbox 360 which would make it tempting if it didn't have design flaws that cause it to break down. Those malfunctions ain't stopping the game geeks from showing the system some love tho:http://dispatch.com/dispatch/content/national_world/stories/2007/08/13/xbox.html

As if Rock of Love wasn't bad enough.....Poison frontman Bret Michaels has another new gig, in addition to VH1 reality show Rock of Love. He will be a character in the upcoming Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock game (due in October for Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 2 and 3). An animated Michaels sings on the Poison track Talk Dirty to Me and Go That Far from the Bret Michaels Band. Developer Neversoft had announced that guitarist Slash of Velvet Revolver (and formerly Guns N' Roses) would appear in the game and had created an original solo recording for it. Other bands with songs in the game include the Rolling Stones, ZZ Top and Pearl Jam.

Just wait, I bet we'll soon see something scandalous from the NHL. It's happening in every sport. Did anyone hear about the professional golfer who tested positive for a banned substance? An Italian golfer named Pissilli...no kidding. An golfer named PISSilli failed a piss test. I can't make this sh*t up!

Golfers really don't need to juice because the balls and the clubs have already been. I'd like to have seen what Arnold Palmer could have done in his prime with todays space age gear.

I agree. I don't see why a golfer would need perfomance enhancing drugs. But, who knows, Tiger has beefed up quite a bit over the past couple years...maybe he knows something we don't.

I use drugs when I golf...it's called beer...it doesn't enhance my performance, but it does help take the edge off when I slice my ball into a f***ing cornfield!

I enjoy playing golf but I'd rather have a root canal then watch it on tv. It is quite simply, other than tennis or soccer the dullest spectator sport ever.
