Kolan McConiughey, left, talks with his foster mother, Jan Pardy at Colonial Lanes in Ann Arbor, Mich., Friday. McConiughey, who is cognitively impaired, has bowled five perfect games since 2005. President Barack Obama made an offhand remark on “The Tonight Show” Thursday comparing his bowling to “the Special Olympics or something.” He quickly apologized and told the Special Olympics chairman he wants to have some Special Olympic athletes visit the White House to bowl or play basketball.

Dee Sarton on KTVB displayed some grade-A outrage on last night’s 10 o’clock news regarding Obama’s comment.

I think it was Dee, anyways. Could have been Caroline Holly. I have a hard time telling those two apart.

Disregard if you don’t know what KTVB is.

Every bowling alley Ive ever tried must of had dodgy uneven floors in the lanes, cos each and every time, my bowling ball would roll into the gutter……… :)

Question: Did you have sex with that woman?

“That depends on what the meaning of the word “IS”, is.

Gratuitous, unrelated Bill Clinton smear, wow, fascinating. Not.

I got an “A” in bowling in college.

cantread. The point was, like Obama bowling, that the President lowered the bar for all of us. In Clintons case, it was actually what you can do in the oval office, or elsewhere, without actually having ‘sex’. Made is easier for our children and other teenagers, didn’t it? In this case, the smear was justified.

I was once in a bowling league long ago. I can’t believe how long bowling-season is. And, I’m awful. My handicap is the bowling ball, combined with my lack of grace. I haven’t bowled for over 20 years now. I don’t miss it.
