El Duque may be out with leprosy, er, a calf problem.

In the playoffs, anything can happen. Ask the 1988 Dodgers.

Just before the Internet boom ended, I was supposed to get something like $800 for writing a screed with the title "Beck is a Big-Ass Moron."

Sexual-Device Sale Ban in Texas Left Intact by Top U.S. Court By Greg Stohr Oct. 2 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Supreme Court refused to question a Texas law that bars the sale of dildos and other "obscene devices,'' turning away an appeal by a store clerk facing prosecution. The justices made no comment in rejecting the appeal, which argued that the law violated a constitutional right to sexual privacy.

Smoke more! No point in being half-high!

Why would they play there when they sold out Radio City twice?

Shit, you're probably too young to remember the last time they were in the Super Bowl. They were good, once, very good. Like the Bills, they should go back to their old uniforms. That orange alternate is just horrible.

Wasn't that way when I was a kid. Bob Griese, Czonka, Kiick, Mercury Morris. The last team to go undefeated.

I think being so popular with frat boys and frat-boys-in-waiting has made him very unpopular in the circles where the above groups are seen as the most contemptible form of human life.

Dane Cook has amused my inner teenager from time to time.

Glad to hear you all did not freeze to death or were harassed by wildlife. I'm sorry I missed the poetry reading.

Somebody sold them the Brooklyn Bridge?

Impossible to predict. Do much journalism?

I work at the company who's flagship paper is the Woodstock Times. Tales are told of the publisher and founder's predilection to work on the nude with a joint hanging out of his mouth. (Thankfully, he has given up that habit.) That said, I have never done a bonghit at work, but it could happen. Just sayin'.

Jeff: My condolences to you and your family. The good we do in life goes on long after we're gone through the lives we touch. Dan

Have a good one!

Naaah, I'm beat.

Lincoln was not only a great leader, he was a hell of a writer. I'm always struck by the eloquence and simplicity of his prose. It's damn near perfect and reads well to this day.

"Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such purpose, and you allow him to make war at pleasure. Study to see if you can fix any limit to his power in this respect, after having given him so much as you propose. If to-day he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada to prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him? You may say to him,
