What a good Tigers game last night. After we met at Catherines, Marlene took us to a bar where they have a shuttle service to Comerica Park. Marlene knows all the tricks. Parking was a breeze and the shuttle showed up just a few minutes after we parked. The Astros were leading 1-0 when we got there but the Tigers came back. At one point during the game, a guy from the Astros ran to first and the umpire called him out and he thought he was safe so he did what any logical angry millionaire would do, he threw his hat on the ground. Out he went. Then, this other guy came out to argue and he threw his hat down and the umpire kicked him out of the game. Then, on his way out, he threw a chair on the field. I almost wonder if the next time contract negotiations begin, if they will include some anger management classes. The rage isn't limited to the majors either. I think we all have heard about the ritualistic cleansing of the home plate for the benefit of the umpire episode the other day. What I don't understand is getting paid all that money to do what you love to do and getting so angry when things don't go your exact way. Do you really think the girl flipping burgers at White Castle is going to get crazy when someone doesn't refill the pickles? No, she is going to roll her eyes and keep her mouth shut because she needs the job. All in all, it was a very late night for me but very fun to hang out with the girls.

Last night I flipped on The Daily Show which I haven't done in quite a while. Right off, Jon was talking about the arrest of the HUGE terror cell ready to blow up the Sears Tower. As Jon put it, to wage a war on the US, don't you need more people that you have on a softball team? During the press briefing, the press core was asking about the specific plans that they found (none were found) and the bombs, explosives, etc that were found (none were found) and this guy actually answered one of the questions by saying that they weren't so much planning it as aspiring to it. There was no specific plan and they never had contact with Al Qaida. This simply reminds me that its mid term elections time, lets rally the base. Scare the citizens and re-elect the only people who care about Homeland Security. I wonder if you are allowed to claim that you care about Homeland Security when you cut the budget of the city that suffered the largest terrorist attack in history by 40% and give their money to the red states.

I never thought of myself as one of those bloggers but my boyfriend seems to think that I will like it so I thought I'd give it a try. I am going to a Tigers game tonight with my girlfriends Kelly, Catherine, Jackie, and Marlene. That should be fun. The Tigers are doing so well right now. Last weekend, Dave and I were at a gas station in Bay City and Dave had his Tigers shirt on and some shirtless guy says, "Feels good to wear a Tigers shirt again." Apparently, his Tigers shirt must have been in the laundry. You can tell the Tigers are doing well though, my brother wants to go to a game and having a hard time getting good seats. I don't really like sporting events but I have fun once I am there.

Other than that, I am puzzled by the fact that I no longer watch The Daily Show or Colbert Report. I used to watch both programs all the time but I am not into it anymore. I am not really listening to Air America anymore either. I don't know if it is just because I am so fed up with the sad state of American politics or because I have no hope that anything will get better, no matter which party is elected. Or maybe I don't care right now because it is summertime and I feel the livin' should be easy.

Today my brothers Equinox is coming in on dealer trade. He looked at the color at a different dealer and said he liked it. I hope it will work out for him. When I heard that he was in an accident in his truck, I knew it would be a hard task to replace the truck. He elected to go with something a little friendlier on the pocketbook as far as gas is concerned. I hope he will be happy with it.
