  1. I would be very surprised if the Hillary lesbian rumors have not been looked into. If eight women came forward and said they bomped sconce with the junior senator from New York, that might get into the paper. Just ask Gary Hart about the power of the press to blow up your spot if you are not walking the straight and narrow while seeking the highest office in the land.
  2. As long as you bring it up, our policy toward Cuba is el stupido.
  3. Gotta stick with your homies.
  4. FDR wouldn't like it. And if FDR wouldn't like it, bjornicus doesn't like it.
  5. I used to kind of like him, but now he's just another demagogue angling to be the next Fidel Castro. Still, I buy my gas at Citgo as I'd rather see my money go to a commie than a jihadist.
  6. There are a lot of people who are pissed off at taxes. I've been a salaried employee of someone else all my life and have never owned a home, so I'm a bit insulated from them. And despite my personal habits, I don't go in for Libertarianism. I can't help but suspect it will lead to fortress towns, the devil taking the hindmost and the Road Warrior world.
  7. This Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton cycle really must end.
  8. "When the Levee Breaks" is better than "Stairway," though I like "Stairway" a great deal.
  9. He's right, actually. I have switched to the Obama camp.
  10. It's OK. Your point of view is not unreasonable.
  11. Geez, how dare the Twins not trade Santana to the Yankees. The cheek!
  12. XM uses satellites in geosynchronous orbit - all you need is a straight shot at the southern sky. Sirius' four satellites move around, but the wiki says they will launch a geosynchronous one next year.
  13. Two, three people saying something is one thing. EIGHT people saying it, and with nothing showing up to discredit their accounts, would probably get somebody the death penalty in a trial and is certainly good enough to hang a news story on. Sen. Craig is a liar and hypocrite. Do you not think his constituents ought to know that?
  14. After your team made the Jets look like the Dallas Patriots, that's not surprising.
  15. Paper: 8 Men Claim Encounters With Craig 3 hours ago BOISE, Idaho (AP)
  16. Santana is worth trading a young, promising-yet-unproven centerfielder for.
  17. Made it to the conf. finals in 2005. For a long time early in their history, though, they were pretty bad.
  18. Deep Tracks is my fave XM, followed by the old-school rap channel and the '70s one. Dylan's radio show is the shit; Petty's one is nearly as good. Best 19 some-odd dollars I spend a month. (Two radios; home and car.)
  19. I think Obama's gonna win Iowa (because it rhymes), beginning the dogfight between him and Hillary in earnest. Whoever wins on the GOP side may well become the frontrunner. Conflicting results from the Granite State will prolong the Republicans' internecine struggles and draw money away from the eventual nominee. Like the Electoral College, the primary system is here to stay. At what other time does the national political machine give one shit about what happens in a small state?
