I'm pretty sure the guy who presented Morneau the trophy called him Jason Morneau, the later Dustin. Yeah, the guy plays in a small market, but he won MVP 2 years ago. Learn his name. As a Twinkies fan, I thought Morneau handed it all w/ class, although he should've give the trophy to Hamilton.

I enjoyed this movie, but I think one of the central ideas of being a good debater is being able to defend positions squarely opposed to your own. I wish we would've seen that portrayed.

I don't know if there's any way to have an admin confirm this, I doubt it. But I voted for Hamilton. True story.

Forgot about One Trick Pony, "Late in the Evening" is so gooooooooood!

Go FCC! Did I just say that?

What would you think of him in a Bears uniform?

They were thinking, "Hey, let's generate some buzz and sell some magazines! Plus, we can generate sympathy for our editorial board's favored candidate! It's a win/win!"

I love Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA. The and Apollo's Chariot rock! They will have to change the signs in the restrooms that exploit A-B's American ownership vs. Miller SAB (or whatever they call it).

I'm usually not a greatest hits fan, but this is a good 2 cd collection. The first cd is basically the same as the one above + a few other tracks. The 2nd cd is Graceland and after. You must own Graceland, though. It's a classic. Probably should've been on my top 20, but I don't think I included it.

I was almost immediately reminded of this.

I'm a Vikings fan. I must say that I'm loving watching the Brett Favre soap opera. The only way this could end badly is if he ends up a Viking. No doubt he's one of the greatest QBs to play the game, but I just could never root for the man who has caused so much personal anguish for me. How do you think Aaron Rodgers feels about this?

Wow! What a strange, brilliant movie!

My pocketbook is more important than your life!

My school has a 9-week course for 7th graders called Consumer Education. We have a great teacher who shows kids a lot of the problems w/ credit cards and the financial industry. But I think a lot of that is like drug/alcohol education. Once they're out of the classroom and American culture kicks them over the head with consume, consume, consume, the give in.

Never mind... Back up to $146 this morning.

I teach in the same 1-high school district I graduated from. 20th reunion begins tonight. I have no interest. I have 2 close friends from HS that I keep in touch with and that's all I need.

I can hear him singing I Am Trying to Break Your Heart or Ashes of American Flags before Heavy Metal Drummer.

Finally got around to watching this. A gut wrenching movie. Great performances.

Great version. I love the strings arrangement and your voice. Besides being the obvious song to cover (and there's nothing wrong w/ that) it's very cool. No regrets needed.

My Morning Jacket is playing Harrah's Casino in Council Bluffs, IA. Not sure why. There should be a few great venues across the river in Omaha, NE.

I saw him open up for John Mayer last year in Des Moines (I was there primarily for Folds, my wife 50/50 Folds and Mayer). He put on a great show, to a song he made up based on a flier he was handed while walking in downtown DM. My wife just brought this one to my attention, too. Pretty funny.

I made my kids a mix CD today: 1. Rollerskate Skinny - Old 97's (my daughter's song, I hope she doesn't develop an eating disorder) 2. King of All of the World - Old 97's (my son's song) 3. Here Comes the Sun - The Beatles (that song from Bee Movie) 4. Sir Duke - Stevie Wonder 5. Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard - Paul Simon 6. Sugar Magnolia - Grateful Dead 7. Hound Dog - Elvis Presley 8. Do It Again - Steely Dan 9. Can You Picture That? - Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem (Wilco should cover!) 10. Meet Me in the Meadow - Paul Westerberg (Open Season Soundtrack) 11. This Must Be the Pl

I much prefer their Live and Let Die

I don't know enough about the subject, but reading the original post and caliber66's reply makes me think it's probably a wash. The topic reminds me of one of the best baseball books I've ever read: Tragedy and Triumph in Mudville by Stephen J.400 ay Gould. A great essay about the nearly statistical impossibility of another .400 hitter.

I hardly ever pull this one out. In my mind, half the songs are Jayhawks songs, so I forget about it.
