Sunday and Monday were when it peaked here in the HV.

I call this one "Hooptie in Autumn."

Forgive me for being endlessly curious into peoples' motives. I wish Jay the best of luck - Mermaid Ave. was pretty good, except for some of the material Bragg sang lead on.

Coughlin better be putting his foot in a couple of people's asses this week. That was a back-to-2005 type of performance last night.

I think John was jealous.

I still think this an odd move for Jay. What's next for him, an album with songs featuring non-standard noise with a cover shot of an interesting piece of Chicago residential architecture on it that gets rejected by his label?

Do they have a Bad Brains museum there yet?

I get mad when I go shopping for a Built to Spill CD and have to look at all those freakin' Jimmy Buffet CDs.

I bet Toby Keith is busy right now scribbling the lyrics to his future hit, "The CIA Can Torture You To This Song (You Arab Bastard)."

Werd. Thanks!

Now, that is odd, because all of the Mets fans I know around here are perfect models of etiquette - suave, sophisticated, knowledgeable and considerate. Ah, there's that.

1. Maybe - ask Garth. 2. I would imagine so. 3. Yes. 4. I doubt Jay-Z would be disgusted by that particular scenario. 5. I think just playing John Denver anywhere near a pregnant woman would cause the baby to want to die and not come into a world where such sonic nightmares exist.

If everything played out as Yankee-haters argue it does, the Yankees should win the World Series every year. They haven't won it since 2000. When the Yankees make the right choices with their resources, their resources are such that they are hard to beat. When they make the wrong choices, they lose, and it is embarrassing for them and their arrogant legions of fans. (Not all Yankees fans are assholes, but they seem to have a very high percentage of assholes in their fan base, higher than most other teams, it would appear. Something about raving insecurity needing to identify with a perceived-t

The irony of Rage Against the Machine being used in this way is deep. I can totally understand why Morello and the others are pissed, and wish them the best of luck in their endeavors.

Which makes me wonder, if support for the public option never went below 50 percent, why are we not having one? Public option gains support CLEAR MAJORITY NOW BACKS PLAN Americans still divided on overall packages By Dan Balz and Jon Cohen Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, October 20, 2009 A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that support for a government-run health-care plan to compete with private insurers has rebounded from its summertime lows and wins clear majority support from the public. Americans remain sharply divided about the overall packages moving closer to vot

Happy birthday, and I salute your writing skills.

That was hilarious.

That may be. I have taken a fair amount of shit for being a Mets fan, though about 75 percent of that shit has been from Yankees fans. I like the Yankees players a lot more than I like their fans, come to think of it.

Socialist.

What'd Teixeira do, other than not want to play for a perennially moribund franchise? (Hint: the next time Washington calls and wants to dump a baseball team on your state, don't pick up the phone!)
