Off To Play Golf
I am leaving early on Friday to play golf with 11 other knuckleheads in the Pinehurst area this weekend. I have been busy catching up at work and taking care of a sick baby this week, so my blogging activity has been light, but I will leave you with these thoughts:
1) I thought we just established that the GOP is the party of morals and values. If so, how can its caucus justify changing its own rule to allow about-to-be-indicted Tom DeLay to remain House majority leader?
2) Does Condi Rice seem an odd choice to be Secretary of State? She has no diplomatic credentials, and she was a pure academic until four years ago. And, I hate to tell her that expertise in Soviet matters will not help her in her new job.
3) What the hell was John Kerry thinking? He saved $15 million in campaign funds for what? A Geico commercial?
4) Basketball season has arrived, and local bloggers Ed Cone and Sam Hieb have a new joint venture, the ACC Hoops Blog. With half of the ACC ranked, including all Big Four, this should be a fun season in these parts.
5) It appears that Steve Spurrier will succeed Lou Holtz as football coach at South Carolina. giving the school a chance to exchange windbags. In Spurrier's last season at Duke, he led them to a bowl game, but he was so busy playing footsie with Florida that he forgot to prepare the team for the game. At the end of the first period, Duke only trailed Texas Tech by 28.
Let's hope the rain stays away, because we are only taking one keg of Red Oak with us this weekend.
