Please expound.

Waco Brothers - excellent live band. Them Crooked Vultures was fun. Love the Dukes (maybe even moreso than XTC) Love the Latin Playboys.

Responsible for what exactly? A poorly managed budget?

Mamma Mia! Italians are already up 2-0, courtesy of Balotelli. Amazing that Germany has never beaten Italy in a major tournament. (I wonder if that includes West Germany, and if that's only for the Euro or World Cup)

Is there an option if we want our money to go directly towards supplying guns to Mexican drug lords? I must have missed that part of Obama's campaign pledges. Ahhh, back to throwing my vote away for a 3rd party candidate...

Another interesting article on Prometheus and its influences.

I enjoyed that review/discussion. I did like the film, but wished some of the hokier elements SPOILER ALERTS: (the "zombie" attack, the "aww, who's a cute little snake?" bit) were changed or removed.

Had a ton of fun at the last two Tigers/Cubs game. Was part of a record-setting attendance for a mid-week 3 game series at Wrigley. Yesterday's day game set the highest attendance for the year so far. Took my old man to both games - he's from Detroit, and this was his Wrigley debut. He was 8 years old when the Cubs played the Tigers in the 1945 World Series. We were trying to think if Ty Cobb ever played a game in Wrigley, but couldn't come up with a reason/opportunity why he could have...

Swedish Team in trouble after a Bare Assed game of Butts-Up

I think it had potential to be one of the great sci-fi greats, but instead had too many REALLY BAD moments.

You know, the guy whose life inspired not only Goodfellas, perhaps the greatest movie of all time, but also My Blue Heaven, perhaps the worst Steve Martin movie of all time?

It's a Kraut rout over Holland. Poland had quite a golaso yesterday.

Pogues

Now take me to hell.

Croatia's 2nd goal was offsides. Not sure what happened with the non-call there.

You should keep the gloves on if you're going delving.

Do movies count? I'm psyched to see Prometheus tonight.

This was posted already. Use the search function next time.

I geev sheet.

I was reading a history of Chicago last month, and all I could think was "holy shit, life was fucking hard 150 years ago" We have SO many comforts at our disposal now, whether it's plumbing, access to quality produce year-round, medical treatment, or transportation... But, if by "U.S. decline in your lifetime," you are referring to the decline in face-to-face relationships and communication due to the rise of social-interaction technology, that's totally valid. (I typed to a group of people I've never met)

Sad day in Detroit. Nicklas Lidstrom retired. One of the greatest defensemen of all time...

Right, because al-Assad is Hitler, and if we don't send our soldiers to their deaths against him now, he's going to bomb the shit out of us in a year.

So wait, this has transitioned from being mad at W for getting our military involved in a shitty mess, based on faulty intelligence, to being mad at Obama for not accepting the responsibility for what the Syrian regime is doing to Syrians?

to be President? Sure, why not. To be a good President? Who the hell knows. He seems to have done a decent job of being governor of Massachusetts though, so I'm not sure why the focus would be only on his experience at Bain.

I didn't really care for her music until I saw this kid:
