Okay, I have gotten sucked in by those heart breaking Giants. Now that they have a chance (especially since the Cowboys have been creamed), this would be the perfect time to let us Giants fans down.

Well, let’s see how the lowly Eagles do on Sunday.

I recently recived an email from someone who had read my terse response to a movie I really enjoyed, The Devil Wears Prada, back a while ago (July as a matter of fact). This person has offered to send me a copy of the movie and asked that I review the whole shabang. Though every part of my internet caution bells are ringing, I decided to give a try.

I’ll let you know what happens,… meanwhile at least I have something to write about. Lord knows, I can’t talk about the Giants.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won’t realize that he must first deal with the problem on “THIS” side of the road before it goes after the problem on the “OTHER SIDE” of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he’s acting by not taking on his “CURRENT” problems before adding “NEW” problems.

OPRAH:
Well I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I’m going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

GEORGE W BUSH:
We don’t really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road…

ANDERSON COOPER – CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken’s intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he’s GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer’s Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I’ve not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.

JERRY FALWELL:
Because the chicken was gay! Can’t you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the “other side.” That’s why they call it the “other side.” Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like “the other side.” That chicken should not be crossing the road. It’s as plain and as simple as that.

GRANDPA:
In my day we didn’t ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn’t that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.

JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2005, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never
cra…#@&&^ ( C \ …. reboot.

ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?

Did I miss one?

Compliments of non-blogger Deirdre

A win is a win. No matter how ugly the win, it’s still a win.

It was like watching two different teams in the first half and the second half. My complaints? When is Coughlin going to use Jacobs more often? If the opponents are stopping Tiki, then use Jacobs (who they couldn’t stop). Well, they could stop Jacobs after he dragged a tackler for 5 yards.

So, as I said, a win is a win.

What a disappointment. Final score: Colts 26, Giants 21. I’m not so disappointed in the Giants, as I am in the officiating. While a lot of people will focus on that play near the end of the game in which a non-existent interference call was made against the Giants, I felt the whole game was officiated poorly.

Another example? Peyton Manning goes back and completes a pass to the one yard line. If you listen to the audio you will hear the fans at the stadium gasp just before Manning releases the ball. And if you look to the right of Manning, you will see and offensive lineman holding onto the collar of Umenyiora. Was a penalty called against the Colts,… No, interference against the Giants. Earlier in the game, two questionalble calles against the Giants’ Burress.

My prediction is that within 3 weeks, sports writers will be reporting on the “poor officiating” around the league.

I, like so many others, watched Katie Couric on CBS news tonight. I watched it more out of curiosity than anything else.

I found it interesting that she had Thomas Friedman on her first show.
I also found it interesting that Karl Rove is allowing bush to be interviewed by her later in the week.
And again, I found it interesting that she will be interviewing Rush Limbaugh this week.

This is the very first week of her moving to CBS and being an anchor. These are the choices she and her producers have made… Why am I nervous?

New York Times:

Facing Senator Joseph I. Lieberman’s independent candidacy, Republican officials at the state and national level have made the extraordinary decision to abandon their official candidate, and some are actively working to help Mr. Lieberman win in November.

You need know nothing more about Lieberman than this tidbit. It’s not an accusation, it is actually what the Repugs are doing… That’s how important Joe is to them.

Amazingly easy to understand, isn’t it.

A very enjoyable movie. By the time you get to the end of this movie about a totally dysfunctional family, you really care about them which makes the ending hilarious. Really,… there were tears of laughter rolling down my face.

See it.

Tomorrow, Joe Lieberman (one of the conservative Repugs favorite Democratic senators) may have the opportunity to learn his lesson. Vote for Ned Lamont.

The Devil Wears Prada.
She should get an Oscar nomination for this one.

Meanwhile:
Superman Returns
Fun, but forgetable.
