Random Thursday Shots

» I pretty much lost all respect for Morgan Spurlock in the opening minutes of Supersize Me - where he couldn't even down a full Quarter Pounder meal without feigning sickness. But I've got to admit, this is pretty tempting: Osama Bin Laden on camera. I'll stand by in a cautious state of skepticism for now. The movie hits Sundance in a year. Is that standard operating procedure if you know OBL's whereabouts?

» Maggard sits down with Pardee. Blogger digs through old clothes to find my Klingler jersey. I can't say I'm 100% gung-ho (which is totally different from being as giddy as a schoolgirl, mind you) about it. If Klingler's good enough to be an OC and/or QB coach for Pardee, then he should be good enough for just about any other coach in at least a QB coach capacity. If Pardee's the one, then I sincerely hope his next season in scarlet red is better than any of the other coaches in their first seasons elsewhere. Still, it's a crapshoot no matter which way you turn. Remember this: Dana Dimel came to UH with a pretty good Head Coaching track record at Wyoming. Lotta good that did him ... or us.

» The JHV pulls a Peter Brown and endorses both JoJo and Joe. And just to one-up Brown, they pull a dual endorsement for the District D seat as well. Without a doubt, the easiest calls for our side are on the parts of town that are well outside my hood: Annette Dwyer and Carol Galloway are far and away the better choices for any right-thinking Dem. Or left for that matter. The rest, I leave you to your own devices to sort out. I don't live in D, either. So I'll punt. And for AL5, I'll just say that I'm going to go with one of Pedro's picks.
