EMAIL QUESTION
Bryan,
I just stumbled across your website via Honest Wagner. You made me a daily reader because of your joke about USA Today.

"...Don't you love how USA Today can boil everything down to a paragraph and a pie chart? War in Iraq, Gay Marriage, 9/11 Commission, all condensed into one paragraph and a pie chart..."

That is classic.

I wanted to know what you thought about the rumor that Barry Zito is going to be the next "Bachelor" on ABC. Judging from your site, I figured you'd have something to say on the subject matter.

Thank you and keep up the good work,
Adam

Nothing gets your email published faster than sucking up to me. Adam, you must have a nice corporate job where you just tell the boss how smart he is and keep getting promoted up the latter. I'm just kidding of course, thanks for the email.

I did hear those rumors on the radio today and was not very pleased. I think that Jesse Palmer being the "Bachelor" is stupid enough. Realistically though, Palmer probably has more of a career going for him in the reality TV circuit than in the NFL. He's a no-name backup, so aside from having pride (which he obviously doesn't have) there really isn't that big of a risk in appearing in some stupid TV show.

Barry Zito on the other hand is an All-Star and a Cy Young winner. Plus, if you've ever heard an interview with him, he is a cool guy. Anybody that signs an autograph "IV Rocks" is an awesome guy (for those of you who know about Isla Vista, which is near UC-Santa Barbara). I know I'll probably get a few "how can you not like reality TV?" emails, but please save them. I'm not crossing over to the dark side of television. I don't get it, but apparently everybody else does, and that's fine. Just keep the reality TV actors to unemployed losers and has-been celebrities, not Cy Young quality pitchers.
