I am not defending Hillary Clinton, because quite frankly, I’m not a big fan of hers, but it is reasonable to think that she didn’t even think that she was lying about her trip to Bosnia. It seems more like a guy thing to embellish the danger of a road trip such as that, but she seems very much like a guy to me in a lot of ways. Just getting out of a C-17 would have me imagining that I’m being shot at. Add a flak jacket to that and I would be submitting myself for the Medal of Honor. Guys do that sort of thing all of the time. The thing is, we do it in bars, not on TV.

Say what you will about he new governor of New York (the one who looks like Ray Charles), but at least he wasn’t paying for all of the extramarital sex that he was having. Maybe that’s why Eliot Spitzer had to pay for it. The Lt. Governor was pulling all of the free tail available at the State Capitol. Actually, David Paterson doesn’t look like Ray Charles at all. He looks more like Morgan Freeman playing a cross between Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, and Grady from “Sanford and Son.” I don’t care if he cheated on his wife, smoked pot, or even snorted cocaine. I’d just like to know how a blind guy snorts cocaine.

On my way home from work today there was a white van that hit the bridge pillar on the inbound side of the Stevenson. I mean this guy REALLY hit the bridge. He was wearing his seatbelt and still died. I feel guilty for being irritated at the outbound drivers for gaping. How does a guy cross over all three lanes of the Stevenson and hit a concrete pillar head-on at 10:30 in the morning? There are pictures of it on the news, on the newspaper Internet sites, and in the Wednesday newspapers. I just went to the Tribune web site, and the guy was a 44-year-old from Palos Hills named Bradley Hurt. I’ll bet it didn’t.
