Monday musings

Very busy today, so not a lot of time, but...

REMEMBER KANYE WEST? DEPT:
Hey conservatives--remember the vile, vicious and foolish Kanye West(who once claimed that problems with aid to the New Orleans area post-Katrina were because George W. Bush hated black people)?
Don't worry--he's still everything you thought he was.

NFL UPDATE:
I have two favorite teams--the Detroit Lions and the Indianapolis Colts.
The Detroit Lions still have a long way to go. Their defense remains inept.Only their special teams look better. And, to be fair, I think theNew Orleans Saintsmay have the best offense in the entire NFL.
And the C0lts still have work to do, but against Jacksonville, who always plays them tough, a win is a win. Biggest stat--the Colts defense, much-maligned over the years, held the Jags to 228 total yards.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL UPDATE:
All us Michigan fans are still riding the high of Saturday's big win.
One thing is for sure: Tate Forcier is far, far better than most experts suggested...

BASEBALL DIARY:
The Detroit Tigers hadn't won in a week. But they beat Toronto yesterday, 7-2. It was rookie Rick Porcello's 13th victory. The young man is still 20years old.Despite the tough week, the Tigers lost little ground, and they still lead thedivision by 5 games. The Tigers' magic number is now 15.

HEALTH CARE REFORM UPDATE:
Obama's big health care speech last week? Touted by some Obamasupporters as a game-changer?

A new ABC poll suggests: it wasn't. The public remains divided rightdown the middle on the issue.
