The Blues won the Stanley Cup on NHL 09 today. It was a good time. I enjoyed seeing CGI Gary Bettman give the cup to CGI Eric Brewer. So life-like the two of them.

Uggghhh.

Why in the world… Didn’t Condi once say a long time ago that she’d like to be GM or president of a team? Wonder if she has an extra $20 stowed away… I’d way rather have her than Rush.
