Benjamin Franklin: An American Life by Walter Isaacson

Completely Illogical Super Bowl XLIV Prediction: Colts 31-17, if only because Peyton Manning and Walter Isaacson attended the same school in New Orleans, the Isidore Newman School, and I'm reading Isaacson's book right now. Don't scoff, THE LOGIC SURROUNDING THAT PREDICTION IS AIRTIGHT.

They're Selling Postcards of the Hanging

I'm not going to ask for your forgiveness, folks. I'm just going to say this...I'm back.

WITH.

VENGEANCE.

Look for the posting to begin with a fury not seen since bloggers tried to expose the conspiracies surrounding the Kennedy Assassination. (Quick insight: It was Roger McDowell. Kramer taught everyone that.)

I Wish I Was a Messenger and All the News Was Good

I've always made fun of my buddy Mason Orr for wearing the "Michael Bluth" outfit* of khakis and a navy blazer to GSP Formal events while I was at ACU, but Mason might also be able to break out the "Michael Bluth" costume at a future premiere of an Arrested Development film.

This just might be the best news we Arrested fans have heard in a very long time.
Jason Bateman has just confirmed to me that the creative minds behind Arrested Development (Mitch Hurwitz and Ron Howard) have put the wheels in motion toward a major motion picture of the Fox TV comedy so many of us adore. I'm told by insiders that Jason and other Bluth family members have received calls from producers (Hurwitz and Howard) asking if they would be willing to shoot a movie.

"I can confirm that a round of sniffing has started," Bateman says. "Any talk is targeting a poststrike situation, of course. I think, as always, that it's a question of whether the people with the money are willing to give our leader, Mitch Hurwitz, what he deserves for his participation. And I can speak for the cast when I say our fingers are crossed."

*Editor's Note: In the interest of full disclosure, I have been known to choose the "Michael Bluth" outfit from time to time, especially last summer at my internship. Let's be honest here: It's a standard outfit for American males who have to adhere to a business professional wardrobe at one point or another. Also, Peyton Manning was seen rocking the "Michael Bluth", or as I sometimes also call it, the "Yacht Captain", at Super Bowl XLII. Whether you choose to call it the "Michael Bluth" or the "Yacht Captain", it's really the same thing.
