Tuesday Morning

10:16 and we’re off to a good start. My office both replenished its supply of half-and-half and sprung for trays of fresh fruit. Stellar.
1. Went to see “Shoot the Messenger” last night, a news satire live performance, and they interviewed the one and only Rachel Maddow. I heart her. I chickened out of asking my [...]

Osama bin Smokin. Awesomeness.
Boo Mets

Well the Phillies lost tonight, mostly due to Myers. But at least the rain held off.
I was shocked to see so many Phillies fans in the house. Also shocked at the decrepid and dilapidated condition of Shea Stadium. Shit’s narsty. I am used to Citizen’s Bank Park, with its aged brick motifs, gourmet concessions, and [...]

Mets MELTDOWN!!!!1
I fell asleep when the Phillies were down 5-2 behind the Mets last night, only to pick up a NYTimes this morning and squeal right in the middle of the F train. Huge rivals, tied for first in the league, and now the Phillies lead off the series with a ground-shaking victory. And how [...]

You know inflation is bad when you have a 100 billion-dollar bill. Poor Zimbabwe.
And I thought Italy was bad before the Euro. When I was there right around Y2K (remember Y2K?), the exchange rate was 2000 lira to the dollar. We were traveling on a super tight budget, eating a lot of fast food, and [...]
Attack of the killer curcubits!

A picture of our urban oasis courtesy of our neighbor in 2R. The two plants front and center are mysterious squash plants that grew out of the compost. Pretty sure the one on the right is a pumpkin. The one on the left looks like some sort of gourd. We’re getting a little worried that [...]

The Hoff

Happy 56th Birthday to David Hasselhoff! Hasselhoff is not only an international pop sensation and star of the small screen, but was one of my earliest icons. He was a main inspiration behind my first haircut, which helped me in the authenticity department when I went a-cruising in my “Knight Rider” big wheel.

More on New Yorker Cover

I’m starting to care less about the Obama cover. For the record, although I don’t like the decision to run this cartoon, I recognize the First Amendment implications in standing by it. It’s the type of satire I spent a good two years defending. So there’s that. Also, tlantz’s comment on the below post deserves [...]
Misfire

This one is too wry, even for the New Yorker.
This is satire, fine, I get it, but I still don’t like it, for 2 reasons: 1) the people who are dumb enough and xenophobic enough to believe and perpetuate these rumors about Obama sure as hell aren’t keen enough to grasp the satire in this [...]

The most amazing baseball documentary is on Long Island public television right now. Baseball from the 1860s, baseball profiteering, integration–the whole history.
In my next life (if it’s possible to go back in time in successive incarnations) I want to be a 19th Century baseball player.
Those dudes rock. They’re the 1874 Athletic Baseball Club of Philadelphia [...]

Just found Biden tearing AG Michael Mukasey a new asshole during Senate hearings on Wednesday.
Week in Review

Sorry for the week off — and things were going so swimmingly there for a few days.
First of all, work’s been mega-busy, meaning I haven’t had time to blog during the day. Then I come home and the wireless network I’ve been hopping on is LOCKED. WTF? Can’t we all just get along and share [...]
