"Absolutely. I'm ( Read more... )

...in reference to Yankee right-handed pitcher Chien Ming Wang:

How tempted are you to use the nickname for the Yankees in conjunction with this guy's last name?

"Hard Shot Injures Yanks Wang"
"Yanks Wang Undergoes Tommy John"
"Girardi Adjusts Rotation, Yanks Wang"

It makes you wonder if she and McCain even speak to each other.  They sure don't seem to be on the same page in this campaign.

 The Dodgers beat my Cubbies yesterday 7-2.  Today, they are beating us 6-0.  We made 3 errors in the first 4 innings including 2 in the second that accounted for 4 unearned runs, but allowed 5 runs to score.  The only legit run in this game was the Manny Ramirez homer that just happened ( Read more... )

I am forever amazed at how frustrated I get in regards to the McCain/Palin campaign.  Shouldn't I be used to their bullshit by now?

One of the top advisors referred to this week's SNL sketch (with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as Gov. Sarah Palin and Sen. Hillary Clinton, respectively) as sexist and went on to say that it was a form of sexism for them ( Read more... )

I saw Tropic Thunder last night. And I have to say that I am still trying to figure it out.

How? How do you take so many great ingredients and turn have the final product turn out that crappy?
