Mudslinging in Full Force

Nope, not talking about the rainy weather in San Diego, just the Democratic caucuses. Yeah, yeah, I don't do political blogs so this isn't going to be who is better or worse than whom. Nor is it about who someone should vote for. I've always believed that each person should vote for who he thinks will do the best as President in the next 4-8 years. But for the past I-can't-remember-how-many president elections, it's been more about who would be the lesser of 2 evils.

Anyway, I think the mudslinging from the Democratic and Republican caucuses will get worse. I think it's just getting started. And as potential candidates get more and more desperate, the more their "true" characters will come out. Actually, I already have well formed opinions about many of them (no, really??) and let's just say that I'm less than impressed, even de-pressed and op-pressed by these power-hungry "I deserve to be in the White House" buffoons.

On a side note, the rain is suppose to let up by tonight. The sun is actually starting to peep out inland. A "few" showers here and there through tomorrow morning. Hope everyone has a wonderful week (ick, I go back to work tomorrow). But hey, only 1 month until Chinese New Year! This will be the year of the rat. More about that later.

It's Miller "Amp" Time!

That's Amp Energy Drink. Although the Sabres lost the Winter Classics during shoot-out, Ryan Miller certainly has been making the rounds in commercials (a good thing). This funny commercial ran during the game and it's especially funny to me since Miller is trying to "yo' momma" in Mandarin. Apparently they spelled out the phrase phonetically for Miller, and it took several takes before he got it (no, really?). Not bad for someone who's never spoken a single word of Mandarin. In all honesty, I still don't understand what he said in the last part, I think I hear onion and cry but couldn't tell you what the rest is. Anyone want to translate for me in pin yin??

Postscript: I listened to this a few more times and I think I finally know what Miller is saying. First part sounds like he's saying it in Mandarin, which would be in pin yin, "Ni mama hao chou, yang-cong ye ku le." But he's annunciation of the last part is "ye kei lei,", which sounds like Cantonese (which I don't speak).
