One Incredible Turtle

Well, friends, I don't know if you've noticed it, but Election 2008 is really heating up! For me, though, the world of politics is sort of like the world of horseracing.  At different points throughout the race you might be a little bit ahead; at others, you might fall behind a surging competitor hugging the rail.  You'll fight ceaselessly, relentlessly.  But if you break your leg, they have to shoot you.

Speaking of world affairs, the most recent episode of MTV's Rob & Big contains one of the most shocking and hilarious moments shared between a professional skateboarder, a 350 pound man and a kidnapped turtle I've seen recently.  I can't understand why this show doesn't have a larger following.  Phenomenal.  Then again, maybe it does and I'm just slightly outside the prime MTV age group. If you would be a little too old to be on the Real World, are you not supposed to watch it anymore? 

Today my old friend Ballzman is coming to New York to share in the merriment here.  At the very least, this should spice up my lunch hour.
