Weekly Thought Bonanza Feb 3rd

On Sunday/Monday (or Wednesday after my week’s vacation), I produce a column called “The Weekly Thought Bonanza”. The column is based on all of the random thoughts that run through my head all week, and trust me there are a plethora of them. I will try to share as many of these thoughts as I can, so each one of my readers can think just a little bit extra over the coming week.


February sweeps bring all the stars to the small screen. Some of the best television of the year happens this month. Too bad there is eleven months of terrible television in between.

Madonna was an incredibly talented entertainer about fifteen years ago. To me she gets one of my “lost their fastball” awards.

Microsoft’s new search engine Bing seems to be a winner for Microsoft to gain a bit of Google’s stranglehold on the web’s search engine monopoly. Is it me or do every time you hear the word Bing, you think of Chandler Bing, aka Matthew Perry, from Friends.

Why would a company name their product Smart Water? It is water for the love of god.

A father this week shot both his daughter and wife over the stresses of college tuition bills. First off there is not a reason in the world that you should ever do harm to a woman over anything, especially using a weapon. Secondly and most importantly, if you feel the urge to shoot others first please shoot yourself.

Former Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra is "widely expected" to retire, according to a report in the San Francisco Chronicle. The 1997 American League Rookie of the Year, Garciaparra was with Boston until the middle of the 2004 season, when he was traded to the Cubs. Garciaparra finished his nine-plus years in a Red Sox uniform with 178 homers and 690 RBI, to go along with a .323 batting average. A six-time All-Star and former batting champ, he spent the tail end of his career with the Dodgers and Athletics but never managed to find the same level of success he had earlier in his career in Boston. “Nomah” will always be loved in Boston.

Leverage is one show worth watching on TNT.

My second “lost their fastball award” goes to Joan Rivers. If I never see her plastic surgery done face again it will be too soon.

About 40 percent of cancers could be prevented if people stopped smoking and overeating, limited their alcohol, exercised regularly and got vaccines targeting cancer-causing infections, experts say.



To mark World Cancer day on Thursday, officials at the International Union Against Cancer released a report focused on steps that governments and the public can take to avoid the disease.

According to the World Health Organization, cancer is responsible for one out of every eight deaths worldwide - more than AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined. WHO warned that without major changes, global cancer deaths will jump from about 7.6 million this year to 17 million by 2030. In Western nations, experts said many of the top cancers - like those in the lungs, breasts and colon - might be avoided if people changed their lifestyle habits. To reduce their risk, the agency recommended that people stop smoking, limit their alcohol consumption, avoid too much sun, and maintain a healthy weight through diet and exercise. Let’s take note of this folks.

The Weekly Thought Bonaza Thought of the week; Former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Monday called for President Obama to fire his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, because of an offensive comment he reportedly made. At an August strategy session of liberal groups and White House aides, the Wall Street Journal recently reported, Emanuel told liberals they were "F-ing retarded" for planning to air attack ads against conservative Democrats opposed to health care reform.
Palin, whose youngest child has Down Syndrome, said in Facebook note that "our president is doing himself a disservice by seeming to condone Rahm's recent sick and offensive tactic." If Karl Rove said this, the liberal media would have had his head on a platter.
