It's OK. I never watched his show much and always thought the guy was a bit of a tool, harassing wildlife like he did, but I have been impressed with all the love he's been getting.

From the Australian Broadcasting Corp. Irwin footage shocking, friend says Steve Irwin's producer and close friend John Stainton has described his distress at viewing film of the iconic Crocodile Hunter's final moments before his death. The acclaimed naturalist and television star was killed while filming a documentary in the waters off Port Douglas in far north Queensland yesterday. The 44-year-old was swimming above a stingray when it lashed out, piercing his chest with the barb on its tail. "It's shocking, it's a very hard thing to watch because you're actually witnessing somebo

The methods of all my fantasy "when-the-Revolution-comes" executions are determined on a case-by-case basis. Eminem got the Sarlaak; Paris gets Madame Guillotine.

Nobody lives forever. I confess, I would love to see her get the Marie Antoinette treatment.

"All hands drunk." See? We HAVE been jobbed. Used to be a lot more fun to work in this country. September 4, 2006 Op-Ed Contributor The Summer Next Time By TOM LUTZ Palm Desert, Calif. IN late May, for those of us who teach, the summer stretches out like the great expanse of freedom it was in grammar school. Ah, the days on the beach! The books we will read! The adventures we will have! But before hunkering down to months of leisurely lolling around a pool slathered in S.P.F. 80, we need to take care of a few things: see what got buried in the e-mail pile over the course of the year,

I am at work, "working."

You ask me, the working people in this country are getting jobbed. It used to be that one person in the family had to have a job, and they could afford a house, a car with fins on them and a TV. Now, two or more people usually have to work to get by. It's getting harder and harder to stay in the middle class. I expect to receive a letter one day from the Hudson Valley saying I can no longer afford to live there, and would I take my broke ass to Detroit or wherever so my apartment complex can be torn down in favor of rich people's housing.

Google image search "iww" or "wobblies" - if you can't find it, send me your e-mail and i'll send it to you. I think the image I have on my hard drive is bigger than that one.

I don't think it was dirty, but it was at an awkward angle.

You're a fucking genius, man. Monty Python is on at 11:30 on channel 13.

Change is inevitable.

And thank God for that.

Good pitcher's duel in Houston.

Some Federalists are better than others, but it's interesting to see where a lot of the political ideas we hold today got their start. And it's always interesting to ponder that the fate of the United States Constitution was decided in Poughkeepsie.

Have a nice one!

It's hard to repeat.

The very best birthday wishes to a very talented artist and a gentleman of wit and insight. Kentucky people are good people. Enjoy your special day!

Shit, I don't think I have that one.

I have a shuffle for going to the gym and sitting on the aeroplanes and things like that. I like it very much.

I can eat turkey with mustard, but for roast beef, it's either gotta be mayo or a horseradish sauce a deli in Kingston makes.

LoDuca runs good for a catcher.

On behalf of the entire skurj nation, I would like to wish you the happiest of birthdays!
