“ All I can report is it is a size 10.
George W. Bush responding to questions after a shoe was thrown at him during a press conference. C’mon, that was pretty good.
Three things:
- He moved quicker than JP Losman back there! Consider me impressed!
- Maybe thinking the Secret Service could get in front of the first shoe is a little unreasonable. But, I think expecting them to at least get a hand on the second shoe is perfectly within reason.
- I think Muntadar al-Zaidi would have been more effective if he was quicker with the second shoe. You gotta anticipate W. getting out of the way of the first one. So I think a second, immediate shoe throw would have met its target.
Then again, I guess I gotta respect the stones he had to throw the intial one.
I have been staring at this image for the last five minutes and I still can’t tell if it is a photo, a painting or CGI. I think it is time I hit the sack before I waste any more of my life thinking about it.
De La Hoya vs Pacquiao
Yeah, yeah, I know the fight was last Saturday—I had my birthday party and I’m too cheap to buy a PPV fight, let it go—but I finally caught the replay of De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao fought on December 6th. What a show Pacman put on! My Lord. The guy landed two jabs, ducked, danced and landed another jab in a quicker amount of time than it takes me to get my keys out of pocket. De La Hoya had no shot in this one. Pacman literally beat him into retirement.
Pacman looks like he’ll fight Hatton next, who I think he’ll beat with ease. After that, here’s to the awesomeness that would be a bout between my two favorite fighters right now, Pacman and Mayweather. It will probably never happen, but a brother can dream.

“Does it make you sick to look in the mirror and realize how handsome you are and to know that people are disfigured?”
Fantasic poster by Nike featuring Roger “The Magician of Precision” Federer vs. Rafa “Madador of Spin” Nadal for the “Grapple in the Apple”.
Though, the faces they use look like one of those scenes in a bad movie where a man and a woman are yelling at each other and then spontaneously and passionately kiss. I can’t confirm that didn’t happen here.
A Visual Guide to the Financial Crisis:The Bailout
Just in case any of you were a little (read: totally) clueless on how the bailout would work, here is an informative graphic to help you out.
Look how quickly Shaq forgets all about Katrina after smelling some sweet gumbo.
First of all, if any of you are unfamiliar with Shaq’s Twitter, familiarize yourself. It is conisitently amazing. Secondly, I take a little bit of umbrage at Paul Scheer’s conclusion about Shaq and NOLA. Shaq is a big boy and sometimes hunger pangs can cloud a man’s mind. I’ll let it slide, Shaq. I’ll let it slide.
So, I am going to remember December, 12, 2008 as the day I woke up, went to work and then spent 5 hours on a Greyhound going back to Boston? Well, then I’m glad it will never happen again.
“ I literally grabbed my boot and put it in my crotch, then got the boot laces and tied it to my thigh, so it would not flop around. There was about two inches of meat holding my leg on.
