November Thursday

My favorite month of the year is November. My favorite day of the week is Thursday (oddly Thanksgiving is not my favorite holiday.) So today is a good day.

Have I been quiet lately? A little.

But there's lots of stuff to read over here.

The John Kerry controversy. How anyone could be offended by something so benign and mild is way beyond me. I'm a little upset he apologized. I still think his big mistake in 2004 was John Edwards. He should have taken more of a risk. Everyone should take more risks in politics. More fun that way.

Based on the first 2 days of the NBA season, I have a few observations:

• The Lakers will be NBA champions (sorry Jason)
• They will beat the Wizards in the finals (I have my reasons)
• The Timberwolves will make the playoffs
• The Heat and Spurs will not

I think the Borat movie will either be the funniest movie of all time or the biggest failed opportunity since CB4.
