They colorized that movie? Huh.

I call bullshit.

Cars aren't good for society?

I continue to think a dude from the London School of Economics whom I heard on NPR one late night had it right - "It is better to have high taxes and a job than to have low taxes and no job."

If he gets in, will he go in as a Met?

Vibes, man. The little weekly I was in charge of has been merged into one of our neighboring larger papers. Now I know how refugees feel. (Well, kinda.)

Well, I have stated in the past that I can't really get behind any soccer team in New York that is not named Cosmos, but I hope the Red Dudes win on Sunday.

"Every rhyme I write is 25 to life."

This came as kind of a shock to me, but apparently the New York Red Bulls are playing Columbus for the MLS championship on Sunday.

I told them to do that last year, but no dice.

That might make sense. Castillo's name is mud, though. The fans would flip and Reyes would probably get a complex.

We have one of those already!

Jesus, I hope the Mets find some other solution at second base other than Luis Castillo.

Second basepersons have to do that pivot thing as part of the double play.

Mo Vaughn was born to be a designated hitter.

I haven't even STARTED The Wire!

Jeff Kent donated $15K to the anti-gay marriage thing in California.

CNN has been beating that drum as well. One could berate the CEOs for being insensitive to their position, but I think it has more to do with normative behavior in that particular stratum of culture. It probably never occurred to them they were committing a faux pas. Maybe next time, they'll take the bus.

A good first baseman is a big plus, but first base and right field are, according to traditional baseball theory, the spots you put the guys who are not great fielders but can hit.

Dude, if you want to have an anti-Red Sox radio show, there is only one place to do that from, and that is the Boogie Down.

I move that everyone who generates or forwards a stupid anti-Obama e-mail be excluded from any tax breaks or healthcare benefits Obama generates.

Well, what the fuck did you think we were going to say? "OMG! Obama is HITLER?!?!? I want my vote back?"

Not a terribly accurate rendering of the history of Germany between the wars. For instance, anti-Semitism was always part of the Nazi party platform. Either way, Obama is not Hitler. No moustache.
