Blago, Beans & Burris
What do Blago, Beans and Burris have to do with one another? Not a single darned thing. Other than a strange coincidence having to do with the letter "B." Maybe I'm going Bananas, But I can't seem to escape the letter "B."
I know this sounds strange, but people and things that start with "B" are dominating my life. And it's making me Batty! I'll give you a few examples.
As I've been telling you for over a year now, Black Beans are on my brain with the launch of www.OldHavanaFoods.com
From Bean Dip to Bean soup, the letter "B" has become a Big obsession with me.
And it's been "B's" ever since.
Fall saw the Bears rearing their ugly heads (both on the gridiron and in the stock market - especially for Bear, Stearns & Company and the Boys at the Board of Trade).
Then, of course, a fellow by the name of Barack Blew on to the scene (along with a pal by the name of Biden).
Inexplicably, Blizzards seemed to Blow in every day or two in December (Before the start of winter). Brrrrrrr!
Then Blago came Barreling in - with his Bluster and Bewildering Behavior (I asked him one morning, "what do you think of Burris?" And he inexplicably came back with, "do you want a Bite of my apple?") Boy oh Boy!
What a miserable month it's Been - staking out Blago's northside home in Bone-chilling cold (freezing my Buns off!)
One "B" I didn't mind were the Blackhawks at Wrigley Field. Big-doings at the Frozen Confines. I'll never forget covering that historic sporting event for the WGN News at Noon. What a Blast!
Then Mr. Burris came calling - adding to the Busiest news cycle I've ever seen.
All these "B's" dominating my life. It's Been Bizarre!
