  1. . . . but there is something charming in an unreconstructed rogue. As long as no one is hurt, thank God.

  2. Just ordered a Civic EX coupe. I know I'll miss the Jeep's 4WD in the winter, but I lived without it before.
  3. He was a good one. Sportscaster Jim McKay dies at 87 By DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer 9 minutes ago NEW YORK - Jim McKay, the veteran and eloquent sportscaster thrust into the role of telling Americans about the tragedy at the 1972 Munich Olympics, has died. He was 87. McKay died Saturday of natural causes at his farm in Monkton, Md. The broadcaster who considered horse racing his favorite sport died only hours before Big Brown attempted to win a Triple Crown at the Belmont Stakes. He was host of ABC's influential "Wide World of Sports" for more than 40 years, starting in 1961. Th
  4. Right now I'm blasting the Feb. 22 Lakewood show. "I wanna be your kingpin, livin' in Cleveland!"
  5. My Sunday School teacher spent that day at Omaha Beach. Thanks, Mr. Hancock.
  6. Sorry, my water heater's about to give out.

  8. Robert Kennedy was shot. Footage of the hotel conference room was up on youtube a while back. Truly wrenching to see the crowd go from delirious celebration to confusion to horror in a matter of minutes. They stopped my brother's little league game and we stood by the railroad tracks as the funeral train passed on it's way from NYC to DC. I saw someone in a window I thought was Ethel. RIP Bobby.
  9. Normally I couldn't give a crap, but the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is my No. 1 cause. By Gina Serpe Thu Jun 5, 2:01 AM PDT It's the thought that counts. Or at least, it's going to have to be in David Archuleta's case. American Idol producers have put the kibosh on a planned charity concert in the runner-up's homestate of Utah, an event masterminded by Archuleta's father as a "thank you" to fans who backed the teen crooner. The toe-tapping token of gratitude, however, apparently wasn't run through the proper channels (like, any) and has now been unceremoniously called off due
  10. Proud day for America. We've all come a long way.
  11. So now we get the Democrats making a fiasco of the primary selection process. They are bound and determined to lose this unloseable election.
  12. Add Neko Case's Furnace Room Lullaby to the list and she will kick your ass.
  13. Hey, cut the guy some slack. He gave his right hand for his country.
  14. Fare thee well, Hedy Lamarr. "That's !" Harvey Korman dies 4 months after aneurysm By BOB THOMAS, Associated Press Writer Thu May 29, 5:13 PM PDT Harvey Korman, the tall, versatile comedian who won four Emmys for his outrageously funny contributions to "The Carol Burnett Show" and played a conniving politician to hilarious effect in "Blazing Saddles," died Thursday. He was 81. Korman died at UCLA Medical Center after suffering complications from the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm four months ago, his family said. He had undergone several major operations. "He was a brilliant
  15. At the Cleveland Plain Dealer we put out a special color pullout the day after "Mission Accomplished" which featured a full-page graphic on how the war was won (it really "popped"!) and a tribute to the 100+ Americans who gave their lives. Frankly, everyone was (and still is) scared shitless of losing advertisers, and all you need is one loudmouth to put the pressure on corporations. you saw how quickly Dunkin Donuts caved over a friggin' scarf.
  16. The great thing about this issue: it means all of the other problems in the world are solved!!! :dance
  17. A for that walk to the fishin' hole in the sky.
  18. But I'd sure rather have a beer with Bush than Gore or Kerry.
  19. Hey, I'm not a mom or a dad. :wub :wub :wub :wub :wub :wub :wub
  20. She did apologize the next day, to "those who were offended" by her remarks. I love those kinds of condescending apologies, where you don't really regret the action, just the reaction of the unsophisticated, overly sensitive portion of the public.
  21. The most disturbing thing I read is that McClelland says Bush believed that to be considered a "Great President" you have to be a "War President." I recall Bush reinforcing the notion in interviews: "I'm a war president." As much as I try not to judge, if that's a reason we went to war, I find it difficult to imaging one being able to redeem one's soul after that.
