I was right yesterday about being mentioned in the Express. It brings a moment of noteriety to a blog, but no real increase in traffic. Oh well, at least I got noticed.

Last night’s speech by The President of These United States was as much about shoring up the Republican base as it was stopping illegal immigrants. The President had to let the hard core conservative Republicans know that he was going to stand strong on the issue of illegal immigrants and keep the nation safe from the threat of migrant workers. On the other hand he tried to reach back to his 2000 campaign promise of including Latinos in a Republican party where they could be major players one day. I don’t think he got either job done as well as he needed to. But compromises seldom work out best in the long run anyway.

Grey’s Anatomy. It was decent enough I guess, but unsatisfying overall. The ‘pretty girl’ killed the man she loved, then made the obvious choice to quit her job – meaning her role will be even bigger next season. The ‘shy guy’ is hittin’ it with the ‘big girl’ but can’t say that he loves her and she’s cool with that. The ‘frigid one’ walked out on her man when things got rough proving she can be as big a bitch as the lead female character. And the ‘main girl’ (that would be Grey) screwed the married guy on a gurney instead of dancing with the ‘decent guy’ who was written into the script just for her to dump on him. Of course the season ends with her having to chose which one to leave the prom with. There was lots of drama but not much emotion.

All the emotion was over on RAW. Mick Foley finally turned evil by beating the crap out of his mentor Terry Funk after 20 minutes of jaw jacking. Triple H continued his move to the Jedi side of the Force by nailing the boss’ son with a sledgehammer. Super-hottie announcer girl Maria admitted that she’d rather swallow than spit. (We’re talking about eating apples of course.) RVD proved that smoking all that weed may make you cool, but it tends to cost you victories. And they plugged the living hell out of a horror movie.

That’s the way TV was last night. 500 f’ing channels to watch and that was the best of it. Please Lord, let Monday Night Football get here soon!
