I’m not saying that Steve Fossett faked his own death, or anything even resembling that, but others are. I’m not sure that the mere fact that the Civil Air Patrol and a group of adventurers couldn’t find either his skeleton or any wreckage for his aircraft is proof that he faked his disappearance. What I do know is that he was/is married to a woman who looks a lot like me. If I were a guy married to a woman who looked a lot like me, I would either fake my own death or gouge my own eyes out. It seems like faking one’s death might be preferable to losing an eye. Maybe we can ask that Sox fan up in Gurnee.

Now that Bennigan’s has closed, where will I get my loaded potato skins? I haven’t eaten at a Bennigan’s in years. For many years I only went into Bennigan’s when I was on the road and needed to use a clean restroom. I’d buy a Diet Coke first, take a sip, and then I’d saunter into the men’s room. I’m sure a lot of Sen. Larry Craig’s stories start like that too, but I really was just going in to use the bathroom. Lately, I have found myself using the washrooms at Starbuck’s. In an emergency McDonalds will do, but the bathrooms at Starbuck’s are a little bit nicer. Ironically, I still always try and buy something to drink at both, only hastening my need to go again.

Today I came across a picture of Pam Anderson on a yacht in southern France. I must admit that any time I see a picture of Pam Anderson on a boat it sparks my interest. Pamela is known for her boating skills, and as a motor boating enthusiast myself, I like to keep tabs on her. Apparently she is yachting with Kid Rock. Kid Rock, who must be quite self-assured (cocky if you will) when it comes to his sexual prowess. I would have a difficult time getting the image of Tommy Lee out of my mind on a waterbed, let alone on a boat, if you know what I mean. I guess Kid either doesn’t fear to tread where men like Tommy have been, or he’s oblivious. Either way, you’ve got to give him credit.
