Gamer Spends Over $26,000 on Virtual Island
I just sold him naming rights to SL&P for US$10,000, Jas, I hope you don't mind.

Was Carlos a Salary Dump?
We needed a lead off type guy. Sometimes overpaying for waht you need, is what you have to do. Imagine you where drowning, would you swap your Suburban for a 14' row boat? Now that he has the money, he can fill the hole he created. This probably will do little more than bring us back to even. But isn't that what we always do.

Illinois Seeks to Curb Explicit Video Games
If it is good parenting to not allow your child to play these games, shouldn't it be good social responsibility to assure that all kids do not have easy access to these games? Isn't being a good parent also making certain that other kids, those same kids that are on sports teams with your kid, in the same classroom as your kid, do not have easy access to these materials? What good is it if your kid is fine but another kid decides to practice something he learned in a video game on *your* kid's head? What if some kid decides your daughter is going to be his b**** ho and he's going to dominate her like he just did for 14 hours on a video game? A good parent, and a good citizen, works to make our society better for the everyone, if that isn't possible, then for the majority.

Jose Valentin = Dodger
I was thinking he was getting a little slow on the DP pivot so going to 3rd should be helpful. His arm strength is solid and he's resonably quick. My guess is a dozen E-5 early in the season, then he should settle down and do ok.

Yankees vs. AL All Stars
I heard this on ESPN this afternoon. In a 7 game series, the Yankees could be favored against a team made up of the remaining AL ALL_Stars. If they get Johnson, he'd be their starter. Give 1st and 2nd base to the AL ALL-Stars, then SS, 3B, L-C-R to the Yankees.

Jose Valentin = Dodger
That is the funniest thing I have read in a long time What happened to loyalty? Valentin was a hustler, good to children, always said nice things about the organization. Damn greedy owners. I hope players don't start acting like owners and just worry about money and winning.

Our Education President
I'll take Thursdays. Actually, once again, I believe he has done a very good job of putting together a cabinet. I thought in the beginning his first cabinet was outstanding, and with only one small sidestep, this one is also shaping up very well. I hope his party can pull him towards the center. I am very optimistic he will have a steller 4 years.

Our Education President
Look, only a couple changes and this could have been written for Saddam. Over a 1,000 US service men and women have died fighting to give the Iraqi people freedom of speech. God I hope they don't use it to criticize their president

I'm all shook up
I find it ironic that Cadillac would never have used a Led Zeppelin song when it was popular in the 70s. I do not mind as much if the song actually works with the show. CSI using Don't Get Fooled Again and Who Are You work nicely and I never tire of a good Who song.

Historic WS FA Signings
On almost every list of great free agent signings is Fisk to the White Sox. On some worst free agent signing lists is Navarro for $20 mil. I thought Belle played well, 79 home runs and all.

Elvis is already atop the charts in earnings for a dead celeb. There is more Elvis crap than anything else besides the last supper. Why religion and Elvis spawn such crap art work is beyond me. Which reminds me I have to go clean my Blacklight Elvis on Velvet painting.

Man has 34th DUI arrest
And in that is where the problem with drunk driving falls. In a cruel paradox, the moment you are least equiped to judge your condition, is when you really need to judge your condition. It is easy to say while sitting here we aren't going to drive drunk. Then you are out with friends and have a drink, you check yourself and know you are ok to drive. You have a couple more, laughing, joking, and of course you still believe you can drive. Then a couple of shots, you start to drink a little quicker, the music is picking up the pace, you are getting sleepy, and after all that, you need to get home. This is the time your judgement is at it's worse. I am not making any excuses for druk driving, just pointing out the unfortunate reality of the problem.

If Clement Falls Through
Take a trip in the way back machine to 1999/2000 era. The White Sox were the envy of MLB with their minor leagues filled with can't miss prospects like Jon Rauch. :headshake One of these guys has to break through to at least a 6-8 kind of record. Anything than 0-season.

ODB died from OD
Alcohol is manufactured under controlled circumstances, you know what you are getting. Not so with illegal drugs. Alcohol use by itself will not cause you to be arrested, tried, and possibly convicted of a crime. Thus negatively impacting your ability to be hired in certain jobs. Alcohol can be purchased at the local convienence store, much safer than most drug deals. Just a couple differences off the top of my head.

Another reason to get pissed off
Ahhh Elliot the long lost, and little known, Blue's Brother who was left in the orphanage. I heard he went insane and just stared off into the night saying everybody needs somebody to love and he just wanted a little r-e-s-p-e-c-t. They say he had delussions that he was a cowboy on the range and as the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name If you wanna to save your soul from hell or ridin' on our range, Then cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride, Tryin' to catch the devil's herd, across these endless skies

$20 mil of the sale is stock in the new company. Her mommy is still getting paid as a consultant. Mike Jackson owns the rights to most of the Beatles catalog. It's a mad mad mad mad world we live in.

Shitty Beer Poll
Strohs Pounders in the returnable bottles have a perverse place in my heart. But PBR me reminds me of old Wisconsin taverns with screen doors.
