When I first saw this link on Drudge, I thought I might post it w/ some smart ass remark. After reading the article, I am genuinely touched. I'm not sure I'd be touched by the song itself, but the gesture is very moving.

That's the act of one wacky dude, not the GOP. Look at his Website. I'm sure he'll be on "Hannity's America" any day now.

I am glad it didn't look like this:

Not quite that big, I got stung by a bee a couple of weeks ago, it had been years since that happened. The sting swelled like a baseball for a short time, but went down almost as quick. I didn't want my kids to experience that, so we high tailed it out of there.

Pierzynski can be a a dick sometimes, but he plays the game the right way! The Twins lineup in the earlier part of the decade (Hunter, Jacque Jones, Pierzynski, Mientkiewicz, Koskie, Guzman, etc) was the best example of team where the whole was better than the parts.

I'm currently in the back yard w/ my kids (got the lap top fired up). My daughter says, "Daddy, come here we found a cute bug!". I go all the way across the yard to see them cooing and almost cuddling a wasp or hornet (I'll have to research, but it sure wasn't a bee!). Yikes!

Keystone was a standby cheap beer in college. I went to college in NE Iowa, near Wisconsin, so Rhinelander and Huber (brewed by the same brewery, I just discovered) were also regulars. $10/case ain't bad!

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.
