Observations during Grad Week:

Strictly LA----Toss out the Old Lady---Dodger Stadium opened around fifty years ago as the ultimate "new" stadium design, a layout copied by every city for the next 20 years. BUT as baseball discovered that stadiums seating more than 50,000 weren't making the bucks, lots of designs changed, cookie cutter duplicates were replaced by smaller and less symmetrical playing fields that especially included unique outfield layouts. The worst feature of the now old Dodger stadium is movement of crowds inside the venue; nobody who works there knows where anything is; and the parking people do not know where to park. So Dodger Stadium is now an old old lady with elevators that don't work, escalators that only move in one direction, horrible parking that costs $15 (outrageous), the once truly good Dodger Dog is now in the hands of a new vendor that pays more rent to the corporation than the old one and this new vendor serves the worst, boiled, soggy, sagging hot dog on the planet for $4.50. In other words, Dodger Stadium needs more than a face lift. When compared to the very new Anaheim Stadium down the road it stinks.

Election: I'm already sick of watching Obama. I turn the channel whenever his face shows up. McCain too. The twenty four hour news channels have beaten the interest out of me.

The Lakers: WTF?

Gas Prices: lowest as of this AM is $4.39 per for cheapest with most stations selling gas for $4.44 and up and if you are stuck in the sticks this means $70 and up for a fill. As a percentage of take home pay this price is ruinous for many people. But no drilling for new oil, thanx to the Environazi control of all media and the Democratic Party. The caribou is most important thing on the planet. And we have trillions of barrels of oil stored in shale that the Democrats will not allow to be developed.\

Movies: the power of washed up old hags that nobody wants is incredible. Sex and the City is as geriatric a movie anyone could imagine, the so-called women in the long lines to get into the movie houses attest to why men go to hookers after these ladies turn ratty and wrinkled. I'd rather fuck Iron Man than any of the crinkled leads in City, all of whom come with a lifetime supply of Botox.

The country: Peggy Noonan wrote a piece six or so months ago where she opined that "the wheels have come off." I had lunch on Sunday that included three doctors all of whom said that the insurance companies were not paying them. The late payments are now six months in arrears.
