Roger Ebert to Jay Marriotti
Mariotti is like the lady who lets her poodle crap on your lawn every day and doesn't bother to clean it up.
You hear that she's moving to another neighborhood.
Today is a very good day.

The Comeback
On a big picture note, even Josh Hamilton can't save the Rangers.
I think saving himself was much more important than saving the Rangers

Yeah, he's a big-time fundie. He's definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed.
When you're drowning you reach for whatever will keep you afloat.

Boing Boing Finds 21st Century Trotsky?
This whole episode is all too weird.
It's like pulling up to a stop light and seeing Ralph Nader behind the wheel of a Corvair. You want to ask him what the hell he's doing but his radio is on so loud that you doubt he'll hear you.

New Yorkers and their quirks
It's a matter of what other people are accustomed to.
For them, New York isn't home. But they expect it to be.
People want the same treatment that they get back in their home state. When it doesn't happen they get confused, bitter and resentful.
When you move from a big city, just the opposite happens.
I lived in Minneapolis for a year.
The first night I got there some friends threw a party in my... [more]

CeaseFire
The Ceasefire stickers on the walls in my neighborhood are just a grim reminder that someone just died. Everything chills out for a day or two and then the revenge killing happens. Then we get more stickers. It's like the yellow ribbon magnets on the back of the SUVs. Nice statement but it really doesn't change anything. Like Iraq, the killing continues. No symbol on your bumber or on a telephone pole is going to change that.
Also, you really think the people Ceasefire... [more]

Circuit Split on Online Housing Ads
That's why I'm amazed this is even an issue, really. If you hate any category I belong to and don't want to room with anyone who belongs to any of those categories, then I don't want to room with you either. What's the point of ensuring that gay people can live with homophobes, or latinos with racists, or anyone who suffers bigotry with the corresponding bigot? Is there really a black guy in Louisiana just hoping against hope that he can room with David Duke? If we're talking about... [more]

A Moveable Feast
Ah, the water cribs.
I was 7 years old. Sitting on Oak Street beach. A hot summer day. The lake shimmered from the heat. I squinted into the distance and saw what looked to be a castle floating on the water. I asked my mom what that was.
She said " That's where Mayor Daley lives. It's huge mansion that you can't enter unless you were born in Bridgeport." I asked my mom if I was born in Bridgeport and she said "No honey, you were... [more]

Can $650 in dinner drinks buy a Neutral Point of View?
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men"
At what point do we recognize the achievement of these men and realize that... Yes, they are human... Yes, they will fuck up... Yes they will do some bad things.
Great men have great ideas. It's the follow through that fucks them up.
Does one drop of poison corrupt the entire ocean?... [more]

Romance tourism and the modern woman
I can see it now. The next Elliot Spitzer news conference.
"I didn't bring the girls across state lines for prostitution.
It was Romance Tourism. Pure and simple.
Can I have my job back now?"

Drinking songs
My old band made our own version of a classic drinking tune back in '97.
It's been adopted by some of the youtube crowd (nsfw)

Which Solid Gold Dancer are you?
I was living in Chicago having a beer with my friend Mike. We were watching the Solid Gold Dancers on a crappy old black and white tv. Mike cracked open another beer and said "Man, I bet that's what New York city is like". I didn't get what he was saying. I just said "What?" Mike got this serious look "New York man, I bet you living in New York city is like being a Solid Gold dancer".
A few years later he moved to New York, worked as a... [more]
