JetBlue, the Red Sox, the Broncos, and Republicans.

I am on the JetBlue flight from JFK to Burbank which gives me over six hours of guilt-free TV time. And, it is a rich TV night!   There are the Broncos, Law & Order on like…10 stations and the Fox News Republican Debate. Oh, and the final playoff game between the Indians and the Red Sox. The winner will play the Rockies.

Perhaps you can tell I am originally from Colorado and unafraid to admit my mookish love for sports when it comes to the home teams. However, how does one miss the Republican hopefuls all trying to out-Hillary bash each other? How does one miss Sean Hannity's after-debate analysis?

Some thoughts:

*How does anyone take Romney serious? He's so '80s soap opera star-looking.

*Giuliani now says he might support a constitutional ban on gay marriage. It's slimy but he really needs, I guess, that Christian-right vote.

*Huckabee seems like a nice guy, until he said, "if you think Social Security is a disaster just wait until all these aging hippies discover they get free drugs!" OK, maybe that was kinda funny, but not from him.

*Thompson seems way smarter on Law And Order.

*Ron Paul got booed for his anti-war policy. He is right on with that, but I can't forget he is anti-gay, anti-choice, anti-gun control and wants to basically get rid of social security. John Mayer came out for him recently--that should make all of us a little suspect.

OK, I've had enough. Everyone else's little TVs are tuned into the game. It looks like the Red Sox are in the World Series. I flip to the Broncos. They are tied.

Jason Elam makes the kick. We won!!!!

We are about to land and we can see the scattered fires raging in Malibu.
