Sore Throats And Endorsements

Howdy All and whoop dee doo. I am under the weather today with a sore throat.

My throat is itchy, scratchy, and burning worse than a discharge from Britney Spears’ va-jay-jay. On the upside, folks around here are elated that I am nearly unable to speak.

In spite of my affliction, I offer you a brief post…The Monday Morning News.

Happy Hanukkah to Republican Presidential candidate Senator John McCain. McCain has received the endorsement of Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman…Or, as we call it here at Bagwine Ruminations, the pathetic endorsing the desperate.

Lieberman did not take any questions after the announcement, because he said that he had to get back to work on his effort to make Jerusalem the official capital of the United States.

On the Democrat side, Clinton and Obama picked up endorsements from the Des Moines Register and the Boston Globe respectively. I don’t know what this means for Hillary and Barack, but it is proof positive that newspaper editorial boards are comprised of major assholes.

In sports over the weekend, there was football played and basketballs dribbled…some teams won, and some lost. There may have been hockey played as well, but this is the sports segment not a discourse on Canadian buffoonery.

And now, on a somber note…Dan Fogelberg has died at the age of 56. Fogelberg was responsible for such hits as “Leader of the Band” and “Same Old Lang Syne”. Women and overly sensitive, gorp eating males everywhere are mourning his passing. Bagwine Ruminations wishes Godspeed and Fare Thee Well to the Prince of Pussy Pop.

So there you have it, a little Monday Morning News to kick start your week. I want to thank all of you who listened to me sing a few tunes on Turnbaby’s BlogTalk show last night. I hope you survived my tone deaf attempts to instill a little holiday cheer.

Now, I must go gargle and drink some hot tea. Until tomorrow, and hopefully at 100%, I bid you a good day, and of course, Cheers!!
