Knocking boots is one thing, but I only go down on people I care about.

You know, I don't think I've knowingly ever went down on a Republican.

I like doing what I do, but sometimes I wish I knew how to do something else, like fix cars, lay tile or build homemade tanks out of bulldozers.

Oh, it's worse than that. I am the editor of a community newspaper in a community full of people driven batshit by multigenerational exposure to farm chemicals.

I could do my job from inside a church and may well have to one day.

Well, I didn't she was going to marry Che Guevara's kid.

I have alerted my legal team.

Once again, I recommend The Battle of Algiers as a balanced and insightful view of how insurgencies operate.

It's kind of like the Pilgrims, who left England so they could be free to oppress themselves.

I tend to like it when Herr West does production for others.

He may have not been among the very best players of his time, but he was as good as any of the broadcasters who've made it, so it's OK with me.

From the AP story on Rizzuto: "After falling short in 26 elections, it took a passionate speech from Ted Williams to get him picked."

I was thinking of you the other day when I bought a friend of mine "Paul's Boutique" for her birthday. She. Had. Never. Heard. It. Before. Hope your birthday is an awesome one!

I like the Intervention show.

Whenever I write a jokey photo caption for my paper, I think of Creem. Some great writing in that mag.

God, I miss Creem.

I think you are both worrying needlessly. President Hillary will be more of a diplomat.

And Hanley suffers by playing for a team that, despite winning two world championships, hasn't really found its niche in the national media consciousness. Had he remained with Boston, he would be a much bigger star.

Bleh. This show sucks. I like my History Channel stuff to have black-and-white footage of explosions.

Never been. Apparently they're having a Pink Floyd laser light show thingy up in Burlington, Vt., this coming Friday so I might head up there for that, if some "things" fall in to "place."

I met Keith Hernandez at a ball-signing in 1988. He still holds my personal record for most hung-over individual I have ever seen. (Still have that ball somewhere. Oh, it's in my pants, right next to the other one!)

Sounds like he's got a pitch that is, for now, fooling all the batters he's faced. Pitchers get white-hot sometimes; see Orel Hershiser's infelicitous scoreless-innings streak in the 1988 postseason.

Hee. Remember Mark "The Bird" Fidrych?

Ramirez is good, sure, and Wagner has been so very good this year, it's hard to get pissed over a blown save. But Guillermo "I was much better while taking steroids" Mota effin' grooved that pitch to Willingham.

If you see my sister, tell her I said hi! (She's somewhere in that state this very minute.)
