A few things off my mind...

So, I'm driving to work today, thinking about this potential job, and I wonder, "Did I give them my A game?"

Now, I'm sure you've been there - either at an interview or an audition... or a date - where you have to be sure to bring your A game. Right? It's not the minors; it's the majors! It's a great job or a great part or a hot chick and you want to impressed so, you bring it... and then you wonder if it was enough.

Well, I brought it... but I don't know. It's nice to conclude that I did the best I could. I just hate wondering if my A game is good enough.

...

The Senate wants to put up a REALLY BIG fence to solve this pesky, illegal immigrant problem.

I'm beginning to wonder when the Hispanic population is going to do something about this pesky, republican problem.

(The alternate punch line to that one was, "Sure, but when are they going to start handing out nets so we can catch all these god-damned pixies?")

...

I don't know if you heard about this but, yesterday, some US troops went into a hospital and detained about ten of the patients. The detained them based on their bullet wounds. (I wanted to provide a link but if you Google "bullet wounds" and "Iraq", you get about 40 Trillion hits.)

Now, maybe I'm wrong but I think they'd do better to look for guys with guns. Or, at least, if you're going to look for guys with bullets, it seems pointless to arrest guys with bullets INSIDE them.

What were they detained/arrested/held for? Being bad at ducking?

...

Pat Roberson has announced that God has told him that the US will be hit by a tsunami this year.

Now, I don't know how this guy gets people to listen to him any more. He's the same guy who said that he convinced God to turn away a hurricane and that Katrina was caused by gay people and pro-choicers. If anyone asked, he'd probably say that God told him who'd win on American Idol - and then, when the other guys wins, he'll say they weren't doing GOD's WILL.

Can you imagine him in Vegas? "Black 29? God told me to put it all on Red 17! You're going to hell!!!"

This guy's one shopping cart away from...

Okay...on the really big fence story...I'm confused. They are working to allow all the illegal immigrants citzenship...except except felons...who have broken some law. Haven't the illegal immigrants broken a law by being in this country without proper papers? I am just not convinced this is the right answer. I don't know what is...but this just doesn't seem right. Imagine if you were an immigrant who came here the right way. Who did all that you were supposed to do to properly become a citizen of the US...and now the US is allowing all these "illegal" immigrants to become citizens just because .... I think your buddy Pat should ask God what we should do now...
