11. I've made that mistake 30 times this week

I just can't keep the two separate in my mind! It is almost as hard keeping that Justin Beiber kid separate from Laura Bush.

3. Because he's Jose Canseco . . .

6. I thought Jose was Republican

He is Cuban after all. Still, he seems to like Al Gore and I remember his book said that he felt that George W. Bush did not respect him when he was a baseball owner.

14. Because he's an odd man?

I knew him when I was a kid passing out programs as a Huntsville Starette (Huntsville, AL Stars farm team). All the other girls had a crush on him, but I thought he was odd.

I liked Stan Javier.

"HEADON. Apply directly to the forehead"
