Thursday Morning
Hello, and welcome to the Thursday Morning Big Stupid Tommy blog post.
A little bit of interesting trivia? Phil Garner, the new manager of that baseball club down in Houston, is originally from the tiny town of Niota, Tennessee. Niota is a small town a few miles up the road from me, here in McMinn County. Nice people. It was once known for having an all female town government. And also for having a circular house, next to a cemetery.
But the radio said Garner was originally from Niota. I did not know that. It was a piece of information that made me say "that's interesting." Of course, it may be interesting to me, and me alone.
Of course, Phil Garner replaces Jimy Williams as the Astros' manager. I always thought Jimy Williams spelled his name wrong. I look at the word "Jimy" and think it needs to be pronounced Jime-ee.
His last day in an Astros uniform was the All-Star game.
Changing the subject. Is anyone else sick to death of hearing about the Scott Petersen trial? I thought that was why we invaded Iraq, so that we wouldn't hear about this mess anymore. I got kind of ill with a radio host the other day, as I was sitting at the stoplight. ON the talk show (I believe it was Neil Boortz, with somebody guest hosting), they'd moved well beyond discussion as to whether Petersen was guilty or innocent, and were discussing instead the most appropriate punishment for the man, throwing that old "no cruel and unusual punishment" thing out the window all the while.
No Senator Ditka for you Illinois people. He said on the Today show that he didn't want to subject himself to the media scrutiny, and at his age, his family is his priority. He also joked that he didn't want to have to wear a suit every day. That suit thing would have been enough for me.
If I were in the Senate, I would wear a tuxedo. Every day. And being the Senator, most likely, from Tennessee, I'd insist on being referred to as Tennessee Tuxedo.
Senator Tennessee Tuxedo.
(Tuxedo is a funny word, if you type it enough.)
