Since this columnist is a duly ordained minister; by the powers granted to me by the state of California, I hereby declare that the attempt to achieve the impossible will henceforth be yclept "the Brinker-Quixote Syndrome."
If the New York Times does a feature story on the Quixote Center, we'll always wonder: Did their obit inspire the follow-up, or did this column?
What does that leave to use as a column topic?
Would it take much time (and get many hits?) to bang out a column about: http://www.comic-con.org/cci/> Comic-con 2010, The http://www.sloppyjoes.com/lookalikes.htm>Hemingway Days Look-alike contest at Sloppy Joe's, or http://www.netrootsnation.org/>Netroots Nation?
Maybe we could go and cover the annual http://www.airventure.org/planning/schedules_maps.html>Oskosh Air Show and on the way back stop and see the http://www.sturgis.com/>Seventhieth Annual Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis?
Are you aware that there is a Hokonui Moonshine Museum in Gore, New Zeland?
Maybe we'll just stay home and see if we can catch Rush Limaugh in a rare bit of extreme exaggeration or his first flat out fib?
Wait! This just in! It's about time for this year's winners of the Emperor Norton Awards to be announced. The award is given for "extraordinary invention and creativity unhindered by the constraints of paltry reason," in memory of Joshua Norton I, Emperor of the United States of America and Protector of Mexico. Heck no conspiracy theories there, eh?
Yogi Berra has (supposedly) said: "You can't think and hit at the same time." The same principle, during the electronic voting machine era, also applies for watching election eve voting results.
Now the disk jockey will play the "Man of La Mancha" soundtrack album, "When You Wish Upon a Star" and Jerry Reed's "Eastbound and Down." We gotta go check out why our name fell off the voter registration rolls and we had to cast a "provisional" ballot for the recall election when Arnold Schwarzenegger suddenly replaced the Democratic governor of California. On second thought, why bother? It will only sound like a conspiracy theory. Have a Barron Munchausen type week.
