Colbert Gets Honored, Remembering Belushi

Slow news day...at least for my interests...

They finally buried Anna Nicole Smith. The funeral sounded like it was more like a circus than anything else.

Stocks look like they will be dropping some more.

Beckham gets injured and will miss at least 2 months. I care so little about soccer but the man who will make it popular in America (yes, that is sarcasm), is currently injured. It would be a damn shame if he is unable to play and/or becomes just a permanent fixture on a IR report.

One of the key players for the Chargers beating the Broncos is retiring. Yes it sucks going into next year knowing that the Broncos don't have a crappy QB. Cutler is still an unknown and can still be crappy but with Plummer, we knew he was bad. Plummer pusses out and retires rather than get traded. 1-13 career playoff record, very Marty-esque.

Stephen Colbert was named "Person Of The Year" by the U.S. Comedy & Arts Festival. I think I have watched every Colbert Report since its been on the air and every episode makes me laugh. I wonder if Stephen is going to mention this on his show? The answer: of course he is!

It's the 25th anniversary of John Belushi's death. Incidentally, while working a college basketball game this past weekend I pulled out the line: "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" and the college-aged girl that I was working with was quick to retort "The Germans didn't bomb Pearl Harbor." It is a sad state of affairs when college students don't even know an Animal House reference when they hear one.
