The Celebration Got A Little Out of Control ....

His Syracuse teammates rush to give Eric Devendorf a Rusty Trombone:


If that's what he got for the shot that didn't win the game, I wonder what his teammates did after the 6-overtime victory?

Quote of the Day

Dick Polman:

I can’t fathom the new Republican hue and cry about how Barack Obama is supposedly trying to “Europeanize” the U.S.A.

Think about it: If they couldn’t successfully discredit his ’08 candidacy by linking him to our terrorist enemies, how can they possibly discredit his ’09 domestic agenda by linking him to our friends?

1977 Camaro stolen AGAIN

Yes, it has been stolen from me twice, my beautiful rust colored 1977 Camaro LT with a small block 305 v8 and a 3500 turbo transmission.

And this time it was stolen by my insurance company.

A Good Day for Edgeweeds

Yesterday I received this missive from Edgeweeds, who's lamented the loss of his cougar magnet for nearly three years.
CAMARO RECOVERED.

Here is a picture of my rust colored 1977 Camaro LT sitting in the impound lot. Having it towed to mechanic tomorrow. Was stolen in October 2006.
Congrats, Edgeweeds, at least until Stealing Larry takes it from you again.

Quote of the Day

Peter Travers of Rolling Stone reviewing "The Last House on the Left":

Ten minutes into this puke-slick remake of Wes Craven's infamous 1972 revenge classic on rape, torture and murder, I knew this crapathon would give Watchmen a run for its money as this weekend's top box-office bell ringer. Such is the debased state of American moviegoing barely three months into the new year, a time when profits soar and taste sinks to sewage levels.

Sheesh. Bitter much?

English Football Pep Talk

Random Chinese Secrets

My co-worker translates: "run, etcetera, sorry, woods, ball," and "run" is repeated at the bottom though was cropped out of the photo. She says that the whole restaurant is filled with nonsense; I guess you don't need to make any sense when decorating a Chinese restaurant in America.

Stewart lunges, Cramer cowers



Andrew Sullivan has a GREAT recap:
I watched the Daily Show with growing shock last night. Did you expect that? I expected a jolly and ultimately congenial discussion, after some banter. What Cramer walked into was an ambush of anger. He crumbled from the beginning. From then on, with the almost cruel broadcasting of his earlier glorifying of financial high-jinks, you almost had to look away. This was, in my view, a real cultural moment. It was a storming of the Bastille. It was, as Fallows notes, journalism.

Having a sixth sense might just bring me back to blogging...

Tom Brady, "I will crush you in my house of destruction"

See amusing Dhani Jones video here.

Why I blog less, why is this person repeatedly "friending" me, and why would anyone find Wordle useful?

Why, I am blogging less.

And

Here's why I am blogging less. Several reasons:
  • iPhone - I don't need to get out that bulky laptop to be online (remember when that sleek laptop kept us from having to use our bulky desktops?)
  • The election is over, the hot topic has passed, and the new one, the financial crisis, isn't something I'm qualified to write about - maybe our resident banking expert, Freddy 4th St., can pick up the slack
  • The economy - even though I think I'm pretty secure at work, I have the schizophrenic feeling that I could be fired at any moment. Hence, must prove worth by busting arse.
  • Work - been busy.
Mostly though, it's been the iPhone; and I don't see myself typing out big ol' entries with that contraption.

On to another topic: Facebook.

Why, is this person "friending" me for the third time?

Yes, this is correct.

Why is this person "friending me for the third time? Honestly, I'd like to know, but to do so would probably require accepting the "friend" whom I don't ever actually remember speaking to in my life... the person is a childhood schoolmate with whom I don't ever remember hanging out. It is really strange. Is this some kind of automated request thing? I don't get it.

Finally, something I find completely useless: Wordle.This "work of art" was generated by Wordle based on the content at this blog. I find it to be a piece of shite and not representative of the blog. Nice try, Wordle.

What do you think?

Uh-Huh-Huh-Huh - He Said Stimulus

(John) Boehner and Butthead?

Paul Krugman says Republicans have become the party of Beavis and Butthead (I thought this happened at about the same time as Palin-mania engulfed the radical right):

leaving aside the chutzpah of casting the failure of his own party’s governance as proof that government can’t work, does [Jindal] really think that the response to natural disasters like Katrina is best undertaken by uncoordinated private action? Hey, why bother having an army? Let’s just rely on self-defense by armed citizens.

The intellectual incoherence is stunning. Basically, the political philosophy of the GOP right now seems to consist of snickering at stuff that they think sounds funny. The party of ideas has become the party of Beavis and Butthead.
