I'm stunned. If the Cubs win next year, then all I can say is that baseball is fixed, and that I will never watch the major leagues again.Update: If the Yankees go until 2011 and then some without winning another World Series, will it be the "Curse of the WTC"?Update II: How did I miss the "New Orleans / Oklahoma City" Hornets? And here I thought that the "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" was

Closer than I expected, but a loss drops us to 4-3. We have yet to lose on the road (3-0)I took a picture today with the band - my first since June of 2001.I then was rapping for an hour. Skin-check!

Does anyone know why a hurricane is defined as a storm with winds of 74 mph or greater? I mean, 74 seems to be a rather arbitrary number.**Yes, I know that technically, all numbers in regards to measuring speed are arbitrary, but when using this system, and even standardizing it to kilometers per hour (~120), or metres per second (~33) - they too seem rather odd.

This is disappointing. VERY disappointing.While I am repulsed by abortion (especially dilation & curettage), I'd rather live in an capitalist, socially liberal society than a socialist welfare yet traditionally conservative one.

It's a topsy-turvy year in the NFL for those who started watching in the early 1990s (1991-92), that's for sure. Tampa Bay and Cincinnati are a combined 8-0?

If there's ANYTHING I hate more than the New England Patriots or the other Boston sports teams, it's Hewlett Packard. I am NEVER, EVER doing business with that company AGAIN.Remember that offer? Yeah, neither do they. They're now telling me they said $1249, not $249, over the phone, like it was sort of a misprint, because, as we all know, the numbers 2 and 12 are confusible when you HEAR them.

According to anonymous sources, the University of Maryland marching band will be removing "American Idiot" from future shows due to complaints. I thought we righties were supposed to unoffendable. I mean, it's not like there's LYRICS or anything in the show.I mean, they didn't complain about the Dave Matthews song, and Dave Matthews sucks.

The Bears (38-6), Rockies (7-1), and the Blackhawks (3-o) all managed to eek out a victory today, Sunday, September 18, 2005.As a matter of fact, these were all blowouts, especially the Bears game-raping of the Lions. After yesterday's Maryland-WVU debacle, this is a much needed breath of fresh air.The Bears are 1-1, with a 45-15 point differential, and technically in 1st place in the NFC

An e-mail I sent (though I heavily edited it for the blog) Thoughts on the hypotheses?Recently in one of my classes, we had a discussion about the causes of war and conflict (It was a psychology recitation on aggression). The usual suspects were named - religion, resources, greed, aggression itself, anything that the average left-leaning college student could come up with.However, while looking

Rove couldn't even get a chance to recite one of his incantations. Evil Glenn's next attack sent Rove flying into our hilltop, demolishing it and sending each of us in a different direction.Reynolds

Seems to be quite a debate over the phrase "media whore" in the blogosphere today.I simply define "media whore" as John McCain. No mix-up there.School Countdown: 8 days, 15 hours

Oops. I believe I wrote that college starts on August 31st, meaning that I would be away from the internet from the 24th until September 1.Turns out that school actually begins with "Early Week" for people like me. THAT begins Monday, August 22.That kinda messes up my hotel plans.The solution: I'll be away from my computer from August 21 to August 29. But in exchange, I get a 448 kbps connection.

This is my 200th post. Nothing much here, but coming soon:Bears win 27-24! I started this blog after the football season ended, so now I actually can talk about the Bears. Expect frothing-at-the-mouth if the Patriots and their Bandwagon Fans win another Super Bowl (especially by 3 points)College is coming soon. Expect more college sports roundups as well.Speaking of college, I'll keep y'all

If I've said this once, I've said this a million times, and recent conversations with "progressive" friends only make me feel the need to repeat myself again.(As a side note, being a resident of CT means 90% of my friends fall left-of-center, and the other 10% are apolitical)The Republican Party has three parts to it - co-opt a part, and the Democrats would be able to not lose another election.

Dysphemism: n : an offensive or disparaging expression that is substituted for an inoffensive one; "his favorite dysphemism was to ask for axle grease when he wanted butter" [ant: euphemism]"Screw" Euphemisms - I need to start using these!Plus it has 5 consonants in a row.

Well this is just wonderful.Mauritania is a key location in Africa because it borders both Mali and Senegal, which are two of the most free countries in all of Africa (and majority Moslem, showing that yes, Islam is compatible with Democracy). Giving Islamo-fascism a leg up in either of those two countries would be rather disasterous.And yes, the former ruler of Mauritania was authoritarian, yet

You'll never guess which city won their "Best Sports City" award this year.Wait for it...Wait for it...BOSTON!I just pray that one day, the people who run ESPN and who run the Sporting News take their lips off the rear end of the Bostonians. Be it the Terriers at BU, or the Boston Red Sox fans, or the Patriots Bandwagon Jumpers, I have yet to find a Bostonian who has not pissed me off in some way

The NCAA has officially banned Indian mascots during the postseason.1) Why only the postseason? If something is offensive during the postseason, isn't it offensive during the rest of the year?2) If you're going to do it, this should apply to other races - not just Indians. But the NCAA continues to kiss the ass of Notre F*cking Dame.3) Starting in 2008, this will apply to cheerleaders and

Bloggrandfather Harvey discusses them here.My father is not yet 50, and was too young to serve in Viet Nam. However, he works with many fellows in their upper 50s to late 60s who did just that. This post reminded me of an anecdote.When I was 9 or 10, I was with my father visiting one of his friend's house.

NIT lawyer accuses NCAA of violating antitrust lawsHey - the NIT had Maryland last year - what more can you ask for?Sadly, the NIT has lost so much of its luster over the past 40 years that it would be impossible for athletes to see it as anything more than the second-tier show, like the Smackdown! to the NCAA's Monday Night Raw, except without the wrestling."

Is it me, or since the beginning of July, has Fox News been going completely overboard on the "ALERTS"? Seriously - they would do maybe one every four or six hours before, but there have been, on average, three every hour this month, and half of them have been ridiculous hurricane alerts. Do we REALLY need to be alerted about hurricanes in this day and age?I suppose it's the Fox News Cabal (led

Our lawn has recently been invaded by "spiderwebs". I can't explain it. I've never actually seen any spiders in the lawn. From 6 to 8 feet away, the "webs" (which are in the grass) look like flat, round, ripped up plastic bags. The webs are 4 to 6 inches in diameter, and there are between 15 and 20 webs. This happens at least three times a year, and never at the same time. It's happened during

The Rockies lost again. They're on pace to go 56-106, which would easily be their worst record ever. It's been a long, long season.Going to the beach today. Haven't been to a pristine beach in 12 years. Should be interesting.

Five things unlikely to happen by the end of 2005.1) Palestinians will finally embrace "Not-Killing-Jews"-ism2) ESPN will realize that poker is not a sport and stop airing it. Also, the network will stop being so sycophantic towards the Yankees, Red Sox, and Cubs. There are 27 other teams. As of this moment, I refuse to watch ESPN from here until the end of baseball season.3) Democrats will not

(A Precision Guided Humor Assignment)Another Thursday, another (fake but accurate) memo from The Alliance of Free Blogs.The mission this week: How Can We Tell if Someone Is A Terrorist?This is a very complicated question. One would think that the easiest way to tell if someone was a terrorist is to see if the military is shooting at them - however, this may also involve journalists as well.How to

Here we go.Item 63: "The NEA... shall educate members about the Central American Free Trade Agreement and its serious negative consequences for education. Moreover, the NEA shall actively participate in coalitional efforts to defeat this regressive trade agreement in line with the oppositional position taken by Education International on CAFTA due to commercialization of education and

In part I, I looked at the first 15 or so business items, plus items 61 and 62. Let's see what else is on tap for the NEA.Item 18: "The NEA shall annually provide information about and promote the designation of April as National Donate Life month to promote organ and tissue donation throughout the United States." Can be beneficial, but once again, nothing to do with students. There's been one

(via CQ and Misha)Dateline: July 7 - The National Education Association introduced its new business items on July 7. As someone who is keeping a career in education open, I would expect the NEA to have children's education at the top of their priorities - business or not.Of course, this is not the case.First Adopted Item: "NEA affirms and supports the decision of the Executive Committee to

Mine does, and the post itself, when I expand the entry, is only in a column 2.6 centimeters (just over an inch) across.
