..these were the first words I heard when I turned on court tv the other day. Thank you very much Kobe & CU! You know, it’s pretty bad when you have a sex scandal on campus AFTER Dateline has already been there with their hidden cameras to expose the rampant underaged drinking problem. Now, all my talk about Colorado conservatism probably seems like a lie. Unfortunately for some of us, it’s not.

Speaking of Kobe and who isn’t it (actually, he should send Miss Jackson a thank you card), I was fortunate enough to see the Lakers play the Nuggets last month here in Denver. It was quite an entertaining and noisy evening. A guy in front of me had a sign that said “Lock up your women, Kobe’s back.” and four guys in the cheap seats were wearing prison orange jump suits- that was really funny! And the boooing, never stopped - people have a lot of energy. Needless to say, Kobe was really off his game and the Nuggets triumphed and I was really, really impressed with this Earl Boykins fellow, tho the crowd favorite seemed to be the only slightly taller Carmello Anthony, who reminded me a lot of “The Answer.” I really like A.I. actually, as basketball players go, I like that all the white folks think he’s a hoodlum and he doesn’t care. And you don’t see him whoring himself in commercials for everything from Sprite to spark plugs. And you’ll notice, you don’t see him on court tv either (yet). Can you believe Kobe was even on the label of the Nutella I got for my birthday?! He’s in his Lakers uniform and it says, you’re not going to believe this… “It’s Kobe’s favorite spread.” I should have kept it, driven to Eagle and had it autographed.

By the way, I happened to catch an episode of South Park from 2002 where Token was feeling left-out because he was the only rich kid so he got his parents to take him shopping for clothes at J-mart, and people pointed at them and said “What are they doing here? They can afford to shop at Cherry Creek.” {for those of you who just joined us, I work at Cherry Creek! That’s where I have to put up with all those obnoxiuos freakin’ rich people} Then Token got a bunch of other rich people to move to South Park including, guess who… Kobe Bryant!! isn’t that freaky?
