Ten Things I Think I Think

I read Peter King’s Monday Morning Quarterback every Monday morning during the NFL season.  He is an amazing writer and it is endlessly entertaining.  One of his sections is called “Ten Things I Think I Think.”  I figured from time to time I’ll throw out 10 things I think I think.  Mine aren’t nearly as good as Mr. King’s, but oh well.

Ten Things I Think I Think:

1.  I think that if three Bush administration nominees had been embroiled in tax fraud we on the “left” would be hammering them, the administration, and the president.  Just because our guy is president now doesn’t make it ok  to overlook this sort of thing.

2.  I think people need to be careful about double standards.

3.  I think I can’t stand the sound of Lindsey Graham’s voice.

4.  I think I need to sleep more than I did last week.
4.a.  I think it is a testament to how great my mood was last week that I did not collapse from exhaustion.

5.  I think I cannot remember the last time I was awake past 2 AM two nights in a row.

6.  I think A-Rod is a clownshow.

6.a.  I think I should apologize to my mother for defending him the last couple of years.

6.b.  I think I knew the Yankees should not have re-signed him.

6.c.  I think he is no longer worthy of wearing the Yankee uniform.

6.d.  I think he is no longer worthy of being a part of a legacy that was forged by people like Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, and Mantle.

6.e.  I think he might be the first Yankee I would consider booing.

6.f.  I think it is a disgrace that someone leaked A-Rod’s name.

6.g.  I think it is a disgrace that the Players’ Union tipped him off to a test in 2004.

6.f.  I think I am angered, not surprised or shocked, by the whole thing.

7.  I think I did pretty well on the intermediate course my first time ever cross country skiing.

8.  I think I’m really excited to see the movie “Mongol.”

8.a.  I think I’m really excited to see the movie “Downfall”.

9.  I think I’m really fired up for Wednesday’s USA vs. Mexico match.

10.  I think I loved Colin Cowherd’s “To Catch a Predator” reference this morning.
