No fairy dust sprinkled here.
---This is a head scratcher. The list of the top 10 most popular names came out and there are so many tied to the Bible. Matthew, Joshua, Jacob, etc..
---Yet, more people are foregoing organized religion than ever before.
---One of the most popular girl names is Isabella, and I know how important it is to name your daughter after the queen who told Christopher Columbus to buzz off.
---Also, another hot name for girls is Madison. Because your child should be named after a street.
---I'd like you to meet my son. 58th Street.
---The good news is that neither Hillary, John, or Barack made the list.
---You get the impression that Hillary's hanging in the race just to pee in Obama's pool?
---That whole super delgate nonsense makes as much as sense as the entire third season of Lost.
---Did anybody ever hear of Myanmar before last week?
---Sounds like a sinus headache tablet to me.
---Or one of those chocolate covered marshmallow cookies.
---So, people are going nuts about all the destruction there. But, the biggest problem is that this alleged country has been run by a bunch of dirtbags for years.
---Like the city of New Orleans.
---All the tornados and cyclones around here and the rest of the world has got all those global warming hysterics riled up again?
---If you go into any US history book (admittedly not taught in our schools anymore), you will read about loads of similar storms ravaging our country back in the 20s and 30s.
---It's called "weather."
---If anybody knows the temperature setting on the central air conditioning in Al Gore's Tennessee mansion, please give me a call.
---Saw this on a guy's T-shirt in Bloomingdale's. "Licensed Sex Trainer."
---He was walking around with his two young children.
---"Daddy, what does that mean on your shirt?"
---It means your father is an idiot.
----Speaking of which, the Mets are conducting an interesting pre-game ceremony this whole last season at Shea Stadium. They have somebody remove one more game number from the centerfield wall in a countdown to the closing of the park.
---So, I'm thinking this is really cool. They're bringing back famous Mets and/or their fans as a tribute to the stadium. Nice.
---And then I'm watching the game last Monday night and the guy removing the number that evening is...
---The President of Bermuda.
---Huh????????
---Must have been a slow night at Shea.
---The freakin' President of Bermuda!
---Who's next???
---"Ladies and gentlemen, the head of the accounting department at Charles Chips."
---Just let me know when they're bringing back folks like Jack Fisher and Al Jackson.
---And Jim McAndrew from Lost Nation, Iowa.
---Meanwhile, Dodger Stadium has gone crazy with customer service. Last weekend, I felt like I had walked into Nordstrom's.
---"May we help you?"
---"Has this game been a pleasant experience for you?"
---"Is there a specific player you would like us to curse at for you?"
---"I mean, other than Andruw Jones."
---The only thing missing was a personal shopper slathering the mustard, relish and onions onto a Dodger Dog for you.
---It's so bad for Andruw at Dodger Stadium that the crowd booed him for just showing up on Diamondvision to wish his mom a happy Mother's Day.
---Or maybe she's just a horrible cook?
---From the Then and Now Department: When I was a kid, a guy who lasted only five or six innings and regularly gave up 3 or 4 runs was probably your fourth or fifth starter on any major league roster.
---Today, that pitcher gets over 15 million dollars a year, viewed as the best hurler in baseball, and is named Johan Santana..
---Watching American Idol whittle from three to the final two, I am now sure the finals next week will be the long anticipated battle of the Davids. Archuleta vs. Cook.
---Archuleta's dad, who should be nicknamed Daddy Dearest, has apparently been banned from the studio.
---Why do I get the idea that, if Little David loses next week, he will be grounded for the summer?
---Or bound, gagged, and thrown down into the basement.
---The more I see the commercials for the upcoming Sex and The City movie, the more I realize that the audience will be nothing but unattached women and male costume designers.
---And, yeah, probably me.
Dinner last night: Teriyaki Chicken at the Cheesecake Factory.

Why doesn't Joe Torre send Andruw Jones packing? Can 50,000 booing fans be wrong?
It's not that easy to cut and run. It's also not Joe's call. Jones is signed for this year and next season for $15 Million per. That's a lot of money to eat. There is also a stipulation in the baseball players' union that a player can't be sent to the minors if he has a certain amount of tenure. So, they are stuck and hoping he works it out. They have brought in coach and Yankee legend Don Mattingly to work with him.
Rots of ruck.
