If given the chance to redesign our currency, not change the numbers, just change the faces, who faces would we use. Presidents have been the face we see most often, with a few important leaders such as Ben Franklin. Some people have redesigned money with pop culture faces and the ones that make me laugh the most are these.

Yep, that’s the Burger King on the $1 bill, Michael instead of Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, and Homer Simpson gracing the $50 bill.  I think the Michael Jackson bit is pretty funny, and with the way Burger King and McDonalds adertise their dollar menu it only seems natural. Homer just makes me laugh, simply put.

With Selection Sunday about a week away, I’m already looking forward to the tournament. My only problem is I will be traveling on Selection Sunday, but I love to watch this as it happens. I’ve got my eye out for live video streaming services that will let me follow the drama of who gets selected and who gets snubbed.

Hey, did anyone watch the Tonight Show last night? I forgot to watch and see how Leno fared after the whole fiasco before the Olympics started. How did he look? Did he seem comfortable? I read a quick story that only mentioned a couple of his monologue jokes and a few audience members who were already fans. Anybody got details?

I have one thing to ask. How intense were those dates? Was there a phone number to call and cast a vote?  What number was she wearing? Read more details here.

I saw the replay of the speed skater disqualification from the marathon event.  If you didn’t see it, basically, the skater’s coach told him to change lanes, the skater complied, which led to a rule violation and a disqualification.  Now, that’s bad enough, but when you add the fact that this particular skater was favored to win the gold, had it locked up, and lost it because of his coach’s error, that makes it even worse.  Ouch!

I watched the Skeleton Friday night for the first time and I had one reaction: ARE YOU SERIOUS? While the luge is bad enough, and the tragedy at the beginning of the games should attest to the events inherent danger, the skeleton is worse. Men and women train to go head first down a luge run on a sled that lies underneath them and the only methods of turning are their legs and body weight. This is a disaster waiting to happen that even hurts to watch.

I’m not a big fan of figure skating, but this is worth mentioning. Evan Lyseck became the first American male to win the gold since Brian Boitano in 1988.  That’s over 20 years since the US took the gold in Mens figure skating.  Congratulation need to got out to Evan, especially since Yevgeny Plushenko came out of retirement to win a second straight gold. Get Evan a pair of men’s sunglasses cause his future looks real bright.

There’s a story ay MSNBC that Conan O’Brien could possibly end up hosting a late night talk show over at Fox.  The story’s author, Oscar Dahl, offers his opinion and that is for Conan to stay away from Fox.  While Foix is not the best location for late night talk shows, Chevy Chase’s infamous endeavor readily comes to mind, I think Fox is a perfect fit.  Conan has that silly sense of juvenile humor that seems to play well over with the Fox demographic.  What O’Brien has in his favor that other talk show hosts dont have is experience. Chase had never done anything like this, so his attempts at conversation felt forced and unnatural.  Conan on the other hand has had a talk show for years, he’s got his wisdom working the scene.  I think Fox would be a perfect fit for him.

After another day of competition, USA remains in the medal lead with one more gold and one more bronze medal added to the total. Wescott took the gold in the mens snowboarding event while Bode miller captured the bronze in the mens downhill. Tonight are the womens snowboarding, biatholon and 500m speed skating while the men have their 12.5 kbiatholon tonight.  Should be fun.

Despite the tragedy of the luger from Georgia, the Olympics have continued with great events and competition. And as of right now, the US leads the medal total with 6 while Germany is next with 4. We have 1 gold, 2 silver and 3 bronze. Hopefully, there’s more to come.
