cleveland was due. basketball still bores the hell out of me, but congrats cavs fans.

any ipod accessories to go with it?

massive kudos. that ruled.

time warner's dvr and tuner are one box.

mcginley is so awesome in scrubs (and everything else he does). i love this show, up through the fifth season. i think we can all agree that the last season was just bad. they knew it would be their last and it was sort of hamfisted. ken jenkins doesn't get enough credit for bringing bob kelso to life. he does a great job with that role, as does the janitor.

i got my form letter back from my senator's staffers, which did not even really address my point (which admittedly was somewhat nuanced). basically - i hate the war but i love the warrior. Orig. note: Dear Sen. Brown I am disappointed in your vote to continue funding George Bush's war without accountability. I understand the complexities of how congress actually works and know that sometimes it is necessary to vote for a bill that you oppose, but the stakes are too high to play politics with this war. The fact the war is funded outside of the budget through "emergency" supplementals is pro

paying too much for bad seats to see a bad sports team -- are you sure you're not from cleveland?

there was a cop shot and killed in cleveland heights on friday by a man who was off his anti-psychotic meds (no health insurance, no job, no meds). the gun was reported stolen from a home robbery in pennsylvania. at this point (and i am saying this as a gun owner), perhaps this country isn't responsible enough to have guns. even good people have guns stolen and put into the black market, so let's grab up those guns too.

happy birthday you corn centurion!

and they looked like choads in that they passed a bill, bush refused and they allowed that refusal to be considered legitimate/appropriate. they didn't need to override the veto, but play better politics in framing the issue as bush's refusal to fund the troops responsibly. no one did. sherrod brown is a great guy and an awesome congressman. i hope he doesn't forget he has a pair now that he's sitting at the big kid table. that guy gives me hope for this democracy, and i'm already bitter, cynical and jaded. if he becomes a choad, i don't know what i'll be. a choad, i guess.

i hope you wrote your congressional representation. i sent one to my rep, to the senator i worked to help elect (the other is a moderate bushie who would have voted for dropping iranian babies from bombers on sadaam's palace) as well as one to bernie sanders for keepin it the fuck real. that's re-al, two syllables. in fact, that link for the chart in the gas thread came from sanders' website.

the price of corn has doubled over the last couple of years.

i've been a strong proponent of chavez, but this move is so wrong and so bad.

that's a funny graphic, but i don't think citgo belongs on there.

could we just give them our $8 to not make the film instead? does the world need a feature length ghostbusters cartoon? where are the new ideas?! that said, i'd totally pay to see a Stripes II with the Iraq war as a backdrop.

i drive a fuel-efficient vehicle (relatively anyway - one gets 38mpg, the other 34) and it's still a terrible bite to get gas. the craziest thing is that gas is a low margin item (from post-refinery to the pump), yet the megacorps are still making winfall profits.

pj rourke was on bill mahr's show saying that stealing gas is even more expensive than buying it. mahr later said that only bush could have a war for oil and not get any.

i just realized that ray was driving trucks in the great white north about the same time those hosers crashed their van into lake ontario. when doug apologized to rosie larose for his nervous breakdown, i about cried. "two bowls of split plea soup"

I was approved for a full tank at the local station at 12 mos same-as-cash terms. check this out. in november of 01, gas was under a dollar in a lot of towns. http://www.vermontgasprices.com/retail_price_chart.aspx

it's also more complicated than building incredibly thin straw men.

i wish i wasn't so infatuated by her. sigh.

the comey testimony about gonzo and card showing up at ashcroft's hospital room really shows how far this country has been led astray for partisan purposes. the thing is that the bushies are great at politics, but not governing. i'd so much rather have the opposite.

remember that the average chinese factory worker gets $40 usd per MONTH in wages. that might make it a bit easier to not buy junk at wal mart.

no love for jim's work lip syncing to guns n roses in the Dead Pool? c'mon! oh, and evan almighty has already won the award for this year for movies that make me want to go on a stabbing spree.

let's not forget the temporary win gibson got against the PRS single cut being a LP clone. (!) remember that the average factory worker in china gets $40 a month. it's a slave wage. you can get a carvin american made custom guitar for a little bit more, and they're great guitars.
