Hmm. I think I still have time to get to Kon-Tiki in New Paltz, my more-or-less exclusive purveyors (by appointment) of "accessories."

Sure there is - the MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of dollars it would cost to mount such a suit, not to mention the even-more publicity the trial, and the almost certain failure of it, would bring. I haven't read the book, but by all accounts it is very well-reported. Bonds wouldn't have a chance.

That is a correct analysis.

Bag of feces shuts Fargo pool 1 minute ago The largest pool in the state's largest city was shut down on one of the hottest days of the year after vandals tossed a large bag of fecal matter into the water. A swim team noticed the problem at the Island Park pool when they arrived to practice on Wednesday morning, park district officials said. The bag likely contained dog or other animal waste, officials said. Dave Klundt, assistant director of recreation, said the vandals "may think it's a funny prank, but they don't understand they're displacing a lot of people on a hot day." The tem

OP is me? OK, then. Despite my Nordic screen name, which has nothing to do with anything related to Scandinavia, I am from Upstate New York and I am a media professional. I posted the above thing because it is what we in the trade call a "holy shit" story; i.e., it makes you go "holy shit!" when you read it. Neither I nor any other journalist today has figured out how to make people care about things they don't really care about, a category which seems to include missing women who aren't white and middle class or richer. (I tried to get reporters at my old paper to do a story on why nobody giv

I agree that Anderson really pushes the quirk-o-meter to its absolute limit, but I find that drinking a pint or so of anti-freeze in the theater parking lot puts me in just the right frame of mind for his films.

Ex-Con Named 'Person of Interest' in Missing Mom Case Sunday , July 22, 2007 By Robin Wallace FC1 ADVERTISEMENT A 56-year old ex-con with a violent past is a "person of interest" but not being called a suspect in the case of a missing mother who moonlighted as a professional escort, authorities told FOXNews.com Saturday. Mesa County Sheriff's spokesperson Heather Gierhart confirmed that Lester Ralph Jones has been named a person of interest in the June 28 disappearance of Paige Birgfeld and that police have searched his home twice, but said she could not confirm "any correlation" betwe

It isn't the end of the world, sure. But now "Lust for Life," a song I once really loved, is now forever associated with stupid white people on cruises who think their mom's spinning classes are worthy of being inscribed on Mayan ruins. Bleh.

Good for him. The memorabilia industry makes me want to vom.

You are a good aunt.

Warm wishes and congratulations.

Congratulatory remarks and best wishes!

$45 is a lot, but I'd probably pay it to see Wilco, if and only if it was at a venue I liked.

Well, I relistened to HTTT the other day, and I still didn't like it that much. The song about the fight at the wedding was good, though.

Good thing baseball is a team sport.

I have a thing like that on the goodreads site.

Keats, Shelley and Shakespeare combined could not write a poem to describe the beauty of the pitch on which Billy Wagner just struck out Nomar to seal the Mets' come-from-behind, extra-innings win against LA.

I like red wines, mostly. Shiraz, cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir, are all good in my book. I drink whites less, but that's not to say they aren't good, too, especially in warm weather or with spicy food. Rieslings, especially, are good with Indian food.

Yeah, the Buke did not have good things to say about it in Live Through This, but he didn't have a whole bunch of good things to say about anything.

I am drinking some red wine from Argentina. For $3.99, it is not a bad bottle o' wine at all.

No, except maybe the Eternal kind. I really want to see that Frost and Nixon play that's down in the city now.

Just got back from this. Michael Moore is a Great American, and this country is for shit when it comes to taking care of people who need help.

Good pitcher, that Vida Blue. LOVED those A's when I was a kid.
