Lost at sea

Do you know why I find the story of the football players lost at sea so terrifying and sad? Not because of some of the comments made by StarTribune online readers. Firstly, because I saw Open Water. I know a lot of people thought that movie was boring and over-rated, but I disagree. For me it was tense and suspenseful and pretty scary. Secondly, because I have an intense fear of being stranded in the middle of a large body of water. I can't swim, see? I don't dig on being even in a POOL where I can't stand on both feet with my nose above the water. I really just don't like water on my nose. I get a little freaked out when I'm rinsing my face or hair in the shower and a little water gets up my nose.

So yeah, I feel absolutely terrible for these guys and their families.

Also, Michelle Bachmann is an idiot. This is no longer news.
