Ha Ha,
I always have to laugh about the ranting bloggers who vent their collective spleens on anything that just so happens to annoy them. Like everyone else is NOT annoyed by your smugness, your self-importance and your vanity. Pshaw. Bark, woof.
That is all for now.

New Program announcement
Hi, just thought I would drop by to let you all know I'm inventing a new TV program. It's like a soap opera that will debut on TV at around 7 or 8 a.m. each morning. It's called a breakfast serial.
Anyway, what reminded me about this was a social networking site where somebody tagged me with a serial "25 Things you may not no about such-and-such. It was filled with all these great things and it compelled me to write my own list. When I wrote them, some of these things made me say "Wow, I didn't know that," while others were like, "Wow, what the hell was I thinking."
So, here goes with "25 Things you may not know about Tom Murphy"
-Subsisted on nothing but breakfast cereal for an entire 36-hour period.
-Only knows three cords.
-Is writing a screen play with the working title “Zombies vs. Wookies.”
-Never ate meatloaf in a Chinese restaurant
-Has the West Coast’s largest collection of RJ Umberger rookie mini hockey pucks.
-Doesn’t know who SJ Sharkey is and has never seen him in public place.
-Once flubbed the lyrics to an Inbred Mutants’ song in a karaoke bar in Kuching, Malaysia.
-Would never sit down in the snack bar at a nudist colony.
-Once acquired unsubstantiated visions of grandeur.
-Made two unforgettable guest appearances with the legendary Travelin’ Band during it's historical Brownie’s Lodge concerts.
-Lets his good buddy Don Julio do all the talkin’.
-In a conversation about the economy, once said “At least it’s not like ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ yet.”
-Vocalizes his dog’s thoughts in falsetto.
-Stays in the merge lane as long as possible.
-Once emptied a ketchup packet underneath the door handle of a car that was IN MY SPOT.
-Quickly considered but resolutely declined an opportunity to buy a Sham Wow! in Target.
-Never read MAD magazine and despises its particular brand of humor.
-Is under the false impression that hand drums make the neighbors more polite.
-Frequently pays no nevermind.
-Was surprised to see a topographical map of his buttocks hanging in the Panamanian Pickpocket Association’s Hall of Fame.
-Maintains a healthy diet by being nice to the waiter.
-Is a lot more cynical than he shows.
-Subscribes to every notion he comes across, whether good or bad.
-Once split an infinitive in a room full of editors.
-Asks rhetorically, “What are you looking at?”
-Saw Ditka once at Chicago’s O’Hare and man, he did not look approachable.
-Felt guilty for logging onto to a social networking account during work.
-Is in denial about a recent disagreement I had with … oh, I forget who.

Inauguration Speech
Good speech today by Obama - fitting for the times. I particularly like the "opening fist" metaphor. Good luck to the new President. There seems to be a great deal of hope and excitement for his administration and the man himself. I am in his corner but I will reserve judgement until some actual progress is recognized.
We're in a world of hurt in this country and I have yet to be convinced that Obama can make a difference in our economy and our country's standing in the world. Generally, I like this guy as a person better than the goverment's previous leader but I have yet to be convinced of his effectiveness as a leader of this entire country. I get no mesianic vibe from the man but I believe strongly that his intentions are leaning in the right direction, much more so than the other joker. But let's see if its more than just a good speech.

Blah, blah, blah
I'm now, or will be soon, a homeowner for the first time. Yeehah - a lifetime goal. We move in an February, hopefully, if everything goes right and we close escrow on Jan. 7.
I've got no deep insight to consider here. I just wanted to wipe Palin off the screen. Finally, wanted to render her into the realm of obscurity where she belongs. Rock over London, Rock on, Chicago - Rock n' Roll McDonalds.
