“Dear Lord, Let it Snow! Let it Snow! PLEASE Let it Snow!”

The prayers of tens of thousands of students were answered last night when the big storm caused nearly every school in the metro area to close down today.  Yes… it’s the first big “Snow Day” of the winter. 

- It’ll be just like when we were kids and spent the day outside making snow angels and sledding… except today the kids will stay inside all day doing the same things on their Wii. 

Obama Ducks Out, Leaves Bill 

Friday, President Obama stunned reporters by entering the White House Briefing room with a special guest: Bill Clinton.  Tired of the grief he’s getting from Democrats over his deal with Republicans to extend tax cuts, he handed over the podium to the former president to sell the deal.  After a while, Obama said he was late for a Christmas party, had kept Michelle waiting half an hour and left – leaving Clinton to finish the press conference.  Bill talked for another half-hour…  

- About why Hillary should be elected President in 2012.

- Just for old times sake, he pointed his finger at Helen Thomas’s and said, “I did not have sex with that woman!!!.” 

- Clinton even took questions from the audience saying, “Yes, you m’am in the blue dress.”

- So Obama left a press conference on a major national issue because he’d kept Michelle waiting for half-an-hour?  Sounds like Hillary isn’t the only Democrat wife who wears the pants in the family.

- Obama would have had Joe Biden take over, but the VP was busy Xeroxing his butt at the Christmas party. 

“How’s My Driving?  Call 1-800-Ask-The-Opposite-Sex!”

A new study of 2000 drivers show that the old stereotypes about men and women behind the wheel are still alive and kicking.  Women drivers admitted that male drivers are better at knowing how to change a flat and are able to park in small spaces.  But there were complaints:  Women hate it when men tailgate, speed, use their cell phones, show road rage, refuse to ask for directions and constantly change the radio station.

- Hey at least men don’t do all that while putting on mascara!

- Don’t women know that the biggest cause of road rage is when they ask their man to slow down and stop tailgaiting? 

- Women should realize that while they occasionally get PMS… men always have GPS!

The mention of men and directions reminded me of a classic scene from one of my favorite holiday movies, Planes, Trains & Automobiles”.  Watch as John Candy and Steve Martin find out they’re, “Going the wrong way!”

 

On The Flip Side…

The top ten things men like about women drivers :  They always pack food and drinks for long trips, are courteous to others, don’t lose their tempers, keep talking to the man to keep him awake, and will ask for directions when lost.  What men hate most about women behind the wheel?  How long it takes them to get in and out of parking spaces, taking too long to go forward at intersections, and the way they turn away and talk to other passengers. 

- Especially if the woman happens to be driving the bus he’s riding at the time. 

- And they’re not comfortable with any woman named “Thelma” or “Louise” behind the wheel.  

Let’s Hope Brett Favre Doesn’t Post His Personal Pix On The Jumbotron At Ford Field Tonight! 

As you probably know, the Minnesota Vikings will play the NY Giants at Ford Field tonight due to the collapse of the Metrodome roof under heavy snow in Minneapolis. The game is sold-out (they gave away all the tickets for free!) but will not be seen locally since the NFL wants us to watch the scheduled Monday night game, Baltimore vs. Houston. 

As for me, in honor of the Lion’s victory yesterday over Green Bay, 7 to 3, I’ll be tied up all day building a Detroit Lion snowman in my front yard. Fortunately it’s good packing snow… that’ll make it so much easier to make the tight-end!

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here tomorrow!
