Holy crap this game!

Glad you shared that.

I listened to The Both (Aimee Mann & Ted Leo) a couple of times this weekend. A good album that really gets Aimee Mann rockin' like I haven't heard in a while.

Today this placed bummed me out. Seriously bummed met out.

I couldn't agree more with Chinese Apple and bleedorange, but questioning the decisions of the moderators is out of bounds. It's too bad because I think the specific incident that led to Jules' banning (if it is what I think it is) could be open to multiple interpretations. I think it also breeds an us against them mentality which actually fuels as much flaming, trolling, etc. and it is designed to curtail.

I'll be shocked if it's still here at noon CDT.

I will go on the record as missing them both. It was Jules' posts probably more than anyone else's that made me really interested in this place 6 years ago.

Buy the governor a cake.

Ban for life. It didn't take long at all for ESPN to put together a montage of ALL his biting moments. I mean Tyson shocked the world with ONE bite.

I saw the first 20 minutes then went to the Isbell show trying to avoid spoilers. A friend texted me "Well that sucked!" Knowing we were down 1-0 already, I feared the worst, so a draw waws kind of a pleasant surprise. We still have a better chance than not to qualify and that Portugal tie was spectacular, can't really fault the U.S. for much. Howard played unbelievably. I hope Klinsmann has some tricks up his sleeve and some good insight into his countrymen for Thursday.

Holy crap! Best rock show I've seen in a while. I need to brush up on his catalog now!

Since I'm seeing Jason Isbell at 6:30 and the game starts at 5:00, I'm going to try to avoid any spoilers. Not sure it will be possible not to overhear something at the show, but I really hope so.

Jason Isbell

We stole the English national anthem for "My Country Tis of Thee". The Star-Spangled Banner's tune is an old drinking song melody.

There's no chicks in Wilco.

Helluva goal by Messi there.

This poses a very interesting and difficult problem. If we assume responsibility how can we help without using war? ISIS won't respond to sanctions or anything like that. I certainly don't want to escalate again, but feel a strong sense of responsibility to the people of Iraq.

Indeed! I posted this picture to FB wondering if Bob Mould knows Gary stole his guitar.

A great show. Mostly stuff from Smile, Sound of Lies, and Rainy Day Music, but a few off Hollywood Town Hall and Tomorrow the Green Grass. A Jayhawks show without "Blue" would've left me unsatisfied. They played it. I didn't realize how well Louris could shred on guitar. He really cranked it up a few times. They played Golden Smog's "If I Only Had a Car" in the encore. One a weird note, I was distracted a bit by Kraig Johnson's resemblance to Rob Thomas. Kind of creepy. Back on topic, John Hiatt tonight.

Did you see Megyn Kelly, a Fox anchor actually gave Cheney quite a grilling on Iraq. It was fairly stunning. I'd post the link, but I'm on my phone.

Not sure I ever knew he and King were married.
