The best thing ever is Robert Mitchum going "Well pardon me all over the place!" to Nick Nolte in Cape Fear.

Didn't DeNiro play the original Mitchum part in the remake with Nolte? Or was Mitchum in there too somewhere?

I think I'm developing a crush on Amanda Peet.

My grudging admiration for Jeter is starting to turn into awe.

Teh Jeter is teh awsum!1!1!1

Aren't these characters from Beauty and the Beast?

Sunset Grill? good song -- I like the synth solo at the end

Herbie Hancock recorded an amazing instrumental cover of "New York Minute" on his album The New Standard.

Comcast hasn't changed my IP address in like 5 months. I wonder what the record is for that.

Yay baseball playoffs! I am so not leaving the house tomorrow after 1 p.m.

I am so heading to a bar with my laptop and pretending to work tomorrow after 1 p.m.

Anyone think that the next manager of the Nats might be Dusty Baker?

Please God no. I think Girardi might be a good fit tho.

I'm convinced that they'll never win a World Series as long as they still play there.

How come?

The TSA sketch was probably the funniest thing about Saturday's show. The worst was probably the one with the two water delivery guys. The ending of that sketch had to be the weakest writing cop-out I've ever seen on SNL.

I think we're in for a pretty rough season of SNL if the premier was any indication. I usually think Dane Cook is pretty funny, but last night's show stunk.

This week's favorite & least favorite....favorites change pretty often....

AM: Dash 7, Thought I Held You

BT: Sunken Treasure, The Lonely 1

ST: Pieholden, My Darling

YHF: Pot Kettle Black, Reservations

AGIB: Handshake Drugs, Hell Is Chrome

Are you talking vinyl?

If so, maybe they're making the grooves wider these days to appeal to the vinyl-has-higher-fidelity crowd.

He accused me of having a smirk at one point. Frankly, I was in wonder at this kind of tidal wave of emotion on his part.

Chris Wallace has a case of permasmirk. I'd have been happy to see old Slick Willie reach over and smack him one.

For me the 70s are significant because of the awesome divergence of popular music styles -- rock, hard rock, disco, bubblegum, motown, philly soul, the beatles -- that began in the 60s and really accelerated in the 70s. It was also the decade that I moved from listening to "Rubber Ducky" on a 45-rpm to listening to Zeppelin on FM radio stations coming out of NYC. My musical tastes really froze during the late 80s and early 90s, but in the 70s I would listen to anything and everything and loved it all.

Forgot to mention Joanie Bartels and Raffi, kids like those too.

And pretty much anything with the Sesame Street voices on it.

Well, since the height of a room is usually measured from the floor, the height of the floor is usually regarded as zero. So I'd say no.

Or yes. What was the question again?

Our kids listen to and enjoy:

It is my belief that 100 years from now, when 1992-2008 are but chapters in a history book, that favor will shine much more brightly on President Clinton than President Bush.

Oh, I doubt we'll have to wait that long.

I think "Nevermind" holds up better than "Ten". Alive is about the only track I still listen to from "Ten."

You never knew when to lay down the bunt.

When someone with his well-honed public image gets that bent out of shape, no matter who the person, it makes me a little suspicious. I have no idea whether Clinton did all he could do with regard to bin Laden, etc. But if he didn't, and he feels bad about it now, I doubt he'd come forward and own up to it and talk about it. In case you haven't noticed, coming clean and telling the truth aren't necessarily this man's strong suits. Still, I could be wrong, which is why I reserve judgment on this whole issue.

It didn't strike me as wrong for him to get bent out of shape in this interview. If anything, I found it a refreshing change from the "Slick Willie" P.R. persona that he displayed during his years in office, where nothing got him bent out of shape.

Seemed pretty Fair And Balanced to me.

How long has it been? Are you officially a quitter now?

...and for all Mechanicsville & area residents, howdy. I list my location as Richmond, but I live in Mechanicsville and work in Goochland.

I pulled Nevermind out for a recent road trip after leaving it on the shelf for about a year. It sounded pretty good to me! There's hardly a bad track on the record. "In Bloom", "Come As You Are", "Lithium", "Polly", and of course SLTS are all really good.
