Can you even imagine how much money George Lucas has? I mean seriously, Sears, Toys R Us, Burger King and half the gas stations in America have been selling painted plastic shaped like Star Wars characters since I was a wee tyke. (And now I’m an old guy?!?)

Irrefutable logic. “I thought Ron Artest was crazy until he got pushed by Ben Wallace and went after the little guy with the plastic cup. When you’re crazy, you don’t pick your battles. He picked his battle.”
Good news
Boston turned the Christmas Tree into a Holiday Tree, then back again. In California the Encinitas Holiday [...]

Politics will make strange bedfellows. Take Sen. Arlen Specter and Terrell Owns, for instance. The AP is reporting Specter as saying:
“I do not believe, personally, that it is appropriate to punish him [by forcing him to sit out the rest of the season]. He’s not committed a crime, he’s committed a breach of contract. And [...]

Smart money was on Gary getting the vote this week but he didn’t go out without a little verbal skirmish with Judd, who foolishly claimed to have not been lying… yet.
