My review of The Wrestler.
I know, I know, shameless.
In other news, I'm picking the Cardinals to win the Super Bowl. Nothing like a good "underdog" storyline.

Toe Procedure #5
It's done. That's all you need to know. The doctor thinks this will be the last one.
Tylenol 3 is just what I need. But I wish it didn't take 45 minutes to kick in.
I also wish I could easily go to bed at 1am, wake up at 7am and not feel exhausted. I could accomplish so much more.

More stars than an elephant can remember
My hometown gets some face-time in this old Jumbo Video commercial.
I actually remember this old advertisement. I had an interest in video stores at the time. Personally, I was a Videoflicks man (or child).

Barack is so great, they named a city after him
Okay, not exactly.
However, there is an actual city in Japan called Obama. There's also a rail line in the western part of Japan called the Obama Line.
And if you don't believe me, here's the proof.

CUPE Ontario Calls For a Ban on Israeli Academics
Sid Ryan, the President of CUPE Ontario, has announced that he will propose a ban on Israeli academics at a meeting next month.
As stated on the Globe and Mail's website, Ryan's proposal will ban Israeli academics from speaking, teaching or researching at Ontario universities, if they "do not explicitly condemn Israeli action in Gaza."
This stems from on an incident on Dec.29, when the Israeli Defense Force attacked a university in Gaza, which was allegedly affiliated with Hamas.
Adding fuel to the fire, Ryan stated, "Attacking an institution of learning is just beyond the pale. They (IDF) deliberately targeted an institution of learning. That's what the Nazis did."
This is absolutely disgusting.
First off, to put the IDF in the same category as the Nazis is harsh and insulting. It is grossly incorrect. Second, if CUPE believes in the rights and freedoms of people, why would they even consider restricting a certain group from having those same rights and freedoms? It makes no sense.
Sid Ryan has publicly shown his ignorance. He has intentionally expressed antisemitism. He has also tarnished the image and reputation of CUPE. I encourage all CUPE members to speak with their leaders and DEMAND Sid Ryan's resignation.

Playoffs, Here We Come!
Michael Barrett, Raul Chavez, Randy Ruiz & Mike Maroth.
Barrett will probably back up Rod Barajas.
Don't know much about Chavez. Probably won't make the roster.
Ruiz had the best batting average in the International League (AAA) last season. At 31, it looks like he's been a career minor leaguer. If he plays well, he could be a backup IF.
As for Maroth - we lost an 18-game winner, but gained a 21-game loser.
Bolstering the roster FAIL!!!
