Uh-oh ...

Just read online that the president of the Mormon Church and the leader of the Greek Orthodox Church both died today - or, in the latter's case, tomorrow, since it's already Monday in Athens. If the Pope, Billy Graham, a major Muslim cleric, George Lucas or Hugh Hefner pass on in the next 48 hours, I'm outta here, 'cause something will then definitely be up.

P.S. Of course, I'll then also put money on the Cubs to win the World Series. 'Cause naturally they'll go all the way right before the Earth goes poof.

So you think you're having a crappy Christmas?

I thought I was ... until I heard that the Chicago Bulls fired head coach Scott Skiles today - Christmas Eve! I mean, sure, the team has had a very disappointing start, but it's not like they've sucked for years. The Bulls have made the playoffs for three years in a row, a peak for the post-Jordan years. And, what, the team was still going to be bad on December 26, so they couldn't have waited two more days?

How Scroogy!
