Friday Shenanigans

At the golf course where it is humid and overcast with a light mist hanging around. A few golfers out there, including Charlie Sheetz who I imagine is trying to shake off yesterday's 55. Charlie and Allen Swayze played Jack Lents and Richard Swayze yesterday and were smashed 12.5 points to 1.5 points. Not a good day for Charlie and Allen, good day for good neighbor Jack and super sub Richard.

Professional Sports

Oden goes first to Portland. Quite a young man, the lad from just up the road a piece. His buddy Michael Conley, goes fourth. Durant to the Supersonics.

At the ladies US Open, Karrie Webb shot an 83, one worse than Michelle Wie. She must be mortified and certainly in denial, as is Michelle. Can either of them shoot well enough today to make the cut? Expect not.

Politics

Saw just a smidgen of the Democratic presidential debate on PBS last night and was impressed by Hillary Clinton who looked and spoke with assurance and command. Not sure we can learn much about these people from these debates and forums since they are, by necessity, filled with time constraints. And of course it is way too early to be thinking about November 2008 anyway. Isn't it?

Fox News poll has Bush at 31% favorability rating. Greg Sargent's comment:

Bush Hits Record Low In Fox Poll

Another key number in the new Fox News poll we noted below: Bush's approval rating sank to 31%.

That's the lowest ever in Fox polling. Yes, in Fox polling. His previous low was 33%.

Bush can take solace from one thing, however: He's doing way better than Paris Hilton. She checks in with a favorability rating of seven percent.

I'm thinking the president would be more than happy to report that sizable difference between his polling numbers and those of the recently released from prison Paris Hilton. And be mighty prowd of it too...

Looks like the weather is clearing and we're in for some nice. Better go golf or in any case get out of the house and move your body around. Be good for your spirit.
