Perle and Wolfowitz should be kicked out of the country. After a good tarring and feathering.

Car Talk is the best thing on NPR.

My last car had a moonroof, so I don't think I can help.

Drunk Russian sleeps off knifing A Russian man trying to sleep off a night of after-work drinking failed to notice a six-inch (15-cm) knife in his back - until his wife woke him up. Yuri Lyalin, 53, took a bus home, ate breakfast and apparently slept like a baby before his spouse noticed a handle sticking out of his back. He was rushed to casualty but doctors found no vital organs damaged. Mr Lyalin shrugged the episode off but the drinking partner who stabbed him faces trial, Russian media report. "Unique and intriguing the case may be, but the accused faces a severe punishment," sa

I don't mean to hurt the feelings of my Red Sox and Yankees fans friends, but this column is dead on. RIVALRY'S BUZZ TAKES A BEATING By JOEL SHERMAN April 16, 2008 -- I DO NOT want to write this column, but I must, because the Red Sox and Yankees start a series tonight and someplace next to the original Gutenburg press is a journalistic playbook that demands we trumpet each new sighting of The Rivalry as if it were the ball coming down on New Year's. Even if the two teams just played over the weekend in Boston. Even if this series is just two games. Even if it is just April 16. Get MO

Nice win for the Rangers tonight. Playoff hockey is so much better than regular hockey. -

Sure, it's a ridiculous issue. I assure you, it won't affect my vote. But the only way for Obama to have avoided this altogether was to have worn a lapel pin, if not from birth, at least as far back as when he was at the madrassa. Did he wear one when he was an Illinois state senator?
-
At some point, some second-tier conservative commentator will accuse Barack of "flip-flopping" on the lapel pin issue. If we must extend our reasoning in this direction, we can theorize that his change of heart on the issue indicates that he has no real commitment to that particular symbolic act of patriotism. That suspicion further makes him suspect to the embittered who cling to religion, guns, patriotism and economic protectionism.

I had warm feelings toward the Expos, but not many for the Nats.

My mom leads the family in swearing. Pretty soon, she's gonna end up like Ruth Gordon in Every Which Way But Loose.

Yes. Ware is an awesome reporter.

She finds Jeff's lyrics to be "too depressing." Somehow, some Wilco songs ended up on the iPod my sister got her and every time one comes up, she gets really pissed. She was especially condemnatory of "Via Chicago" and its "Dreamed of killing you again last night" lyrics. She is even pissed that my sister is going to see Wilco next month. I love her too. I am alternately shocked, amazed, frightened and admiring of the amount of darkness and hate my little 5'0" mom can generate.

I dunno. Guess it's all in the eye and the ear of the beholder. As a journalist, I am bound by custom to distrust all politicians, but I'll still vote for the guy.
