Christ. You know who's fault this all is? Robert Fucking Fulton's fault.

I think people who criticize labor laws are like the people who criticize vaccinations. They don't have a clear idea of what life was like before - people working six-day, 12-plus-hours-a-day weeks and people dying in droves of smallpox. Unions may have gone too far in some instances, but they are a needed balance to laissez-faire capitalist thinking.

Nah. I think they are going to win that game, if for nothing else but the irony of the Jets making the playoffs and the Giants not.

Y'know, Bay, Beltran and Francoeur is not a bad outfield.

Mine too. It has reduced me to tears a couple of times.

That's not a conflict. It's a logistical challenge.

Thus the argument for socialized medicine, which would take that matter to between your employees and Uncle Sam.

According to a graphic I saw on some football show that I cannot quote verbatim, not well at all. Losing the edge, it seems, is a much more common occurrence than catastrophic injuries. I think it was the wrong move by the Colts.

I KNOW. How in the hell are you going to find two future governors to be in it?

I am reasonably sure this will be a bucket of shit, but I didn't even like The Matrix. And I thought 300 was as immoral as Triumph of the Will.

Jesus. Am I wrong, as a Giants fan of more than three decades, to be personally insulted by the effort that team made yesterday? Something is very, very amiss with that bunch. Fire Coughlin, fire that for-shit new defensive coordinator. :realmad :realmad

Obama getting the Nobel was nothing more than an indication of how relieved the world is that the Republicans no longer have the keys to the U.S. military. I'll let you know what I think of health care reform next March, when we find out what our new insurance rates will be. Truly, I hope it does do some good for some people, but my reporter's intuition tells me that for those of us with standard-issue meh health insurance, there's not going to be vast relief, and it might be the opposite.

This. And, I am really digging the Diplo remix of Gucci Mane's "Danger's Not A Stranger."

Liz Phair is twice the man Rhett Miller is.

And the same goes for Aimee Mann.

I call bullshit on Rhett Miller's heartbreak. He is too cute not to be swimming in tail.

If the D can stiffen up JUST A LITTLE BIT, I think the Giants can compete with anybody. Eli is having his best year ever.

I don't know if they'll be able to keep it up, but it was nice to see the good-ol' ass-whuppin' New York Football Giants last night. Could it be 2007 all over again?

If I end up saving enough money to buy a nice bottle of Belgian beer a week ($15?) I will be delighted, and rather stunned. Living in the Empire State, though, I doubt that will happen. We had a guy come in and talk to the editorial board once about how N.Y. laws are designed to allow insurance companies to bugger consumers with particular brio. So I will settle with the OK insurance I have now, at a cost to me of approx. $50 a week. Like I said, a bit disappointing. Maybe not a full-blown FAIL on Obama's part (it's not his fault that we are as a nation ox-dumb and welded to failed paradigms t

Not bad!

"Take a ride (ride ride ride) on Heavy Metalllll." LOVED that movie.

A Wilco cartoon would be much awesomer than a Def Leppard cartoon, and might even be as awesome as Metalocalypse.

Yay, because they did a really nice version of this song.

Did "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" make this list?

Jesus. Only in America (well, maybe also in Germany prior to 1945) can the solution to people not having health insurance be a law making you have health insurance.
