more than a feelin'

On the cusp of one of the great sports comebacks of recent times I thought I'd drop a little love on this, my orphaned-child of a blog. The Bosox have proudly scratched and clawed their way back into a seventh game with the upstart Tampa Devil Rays...er, I mean Rays. Will they triumph? What do the baseball gods portend for them? Who knows, but the journey to get to this epic place in time has bolstered Sox fan's loyalty and enriched the teams legacy once again. Baseball life is good...the rest of life could use a little work.

Some issues:

• John McCain, the Captain Queeg of the Republican presidential ship, and his buxom first mate, Sarah Palin, somehow still possess the capacity to win this election. The choice between candidates couldn't be more diverse. Young against old, right against left, liberal against conservative and the clunker, black against white. If you've been listening to Mrs. Palin's campaign blather you can readily perceive the 'code' words and phrases that all seem to say, "this guy's not like us" meaning ... Johnny Mac has even started calling the Obama tax-the-rich plan "welfare". Nice touch maverick. Reminds me of my youth as a clunky skating hockey player (I gotta believe my 'hockey mom' would energetically reject the Palin association if she were still with us). I would resort to some chippy stick-work whenever some kid possessed the skating speed and skill I lacked. A little hook, trip and slash reduced the talent gap and quality of play issues to manageable proportions. That's the Karl Rove approach. Karl's trainees who are on the 'McCain train' take it one step further. They screech foul whenever they get put in the political penalty box for hitting their opponents in the nuts - a hypocritical behavior I proudly never pursued. Do your time and save your yapping for the face to face confrontations on the ice where these things should really be settled.

• When did 'Joe Six-Pack' evolve into 'Joe The Plumber'? Any dope making less than 75K a year who swallows the 'everyman' bait from McPalin is cracking opening their PBR's with the wrong wrench.

• At the cinema...Just saw Guy Ritchie's 'Rocknrolla' and I must say he has his mojo back after checking it at the door for five or six years while tethered to the over-muscled g-string of one Madonna, whose potential dalliance with A-Rod is an affront to all things American.

YES!!!!

It's that time of year again...

Hope Johnny McCain takes all his meds before Friday's Presidential debate. I actually like McCain, but he seems to have made some Faustian deal with the devil or is it Karl Rove...

I don't know why the pundits think America will have trouble electing a black prez, from what I see Barack is whiter than I am and I'm pretty pasty...sort of the Derek Jeter deal...

I'd like to see a Keith Olbermann, Sean Hannity steel cage match...

Which is more disheartening for New York baseball fans, the old decrepit Yanks or the death spiralling Metsies? I think I'll do a doorman survey.

Can Joe Biden take that bear-wrestler Palin? Hope so.

Go Sawwx!

my mistakes were made for you - the last shadow puppets

a voice... a vibe... and some strings...

a hard rain's gonna fall...

I don't know about you but those shots of Sarah Palin sitting on her sofa with a bearskin thrown across its back are just mildly disconcerting...her creationist beliefs make her a fitting candidate to take the White House intellectual mantel from G.W. - a man who never met a three syllable word he couldn't mangle...When they say, and they will, that Sarah has a nice rack, they'll be referring to the antlers on the last moose she shot and mounted on her living room wall...

Has Obama chosen a campaign song? Maybe something by the Isley Brothers would work...you know black but not too black...

I can't see electing a prez who's a full 7 years past the retirement age of a high school custodian or a school bus driver...the USA is one big bus with no power steering...

I miss Manny Ramirez talking on a cell phone in the Big Green Monster, but that's about it for Manny...

Who died and elected Cold Play U2?

Saw the season premiere of the "Shield" last night...Mr. Chiklis has sure come a long way since "The Commish"...

Gotta go, Mike Huckabee is going to explain to for the 28th time how Intelligent Design works...

7 stinky streams of seepage

It's been awhile...a lot of stuff has dribbled down reality's leg. I've been gone quite some time working on an offshore oil rig...

1. Hillary is out, Barack is in....McCain hired Karl Rove's elves to take aim at Obama and OB's campaign is taking on more water than John Kerry's Swift Boat...
2. Manny just left Beantown after taking 3 minutes to reach first base on a potential infield hit...and some Vanilla Ice type white guy replaced him in left...can we find Ted Williams' head in the warehouse?
3. Iraq, Iran, Afganistan (it rhymes) - we need to convince more members of the growing ranks of the unemployed that car bombs will be less frequent with rising gas prices...please enlist...
4. This Miley Cyrus is an economy unto herself...oh my ackey breaky heart...
5. With such dung buckets of entertainment as America Has no Talent, American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance? and the like dominating ratings is it finally safe to say that American culture has hit rock bottom? Is there an intervention or some course of action we can take?
6. Saw the Batman movie and fell asleep after the third ending with about another 30 minutes to go in the opus...
7. If John McCain's approach to campaign advertising works we're all going to have to move to France with Alec Baldwin and Ludicris...victims of the reverse race card...

Belicheck is 'genius' on a mission...


Manny is 'genius' in a doo-rag.




Genius is not...GW wants to give telco companies immunity against litigation if they are caught wiretapping my ass...

Genius is....Mitt Romney looks like the loan officer at the Money Store...

Genius is not being a pussy...The presidential candidates are all backing off on the 'attack' politics and going into a soft love-zone defense...watch what happens when some poll tells them it's not working...

A genius past...Dems like the idea of Bill Clinton but not the reality...

Genius is protecting your investments...They locked Britney Spears up so her mom could protect the cash...and get the paper work together for her last check-out...

Genius is eccentricity...Go Ron Paul...

Genius is free-range...All the time you were stuffing that farme-raised salmon down your gullet you were packing your system with fresh, invigorating mercury...

Genius is not messing with motha nature...I don't know about you, but I'm not rushing out to by a 'cloned' t-bone....

Genius is turning the video box off...I've already got election fatigue...

Genius is closing your eyes...I got 'lost' watching 'Lost'....

Genius is genus...Do you think the Daniel Day Lewis character from 'There Will be Blood' is related to the Bush family...oh, wait a minute, they're from Connecticut...

Genius is sometimes just not being a complete and utter dumb-ass....Rudy can you help me out? I need suggestions on a security detail for my mistress...

Genius is recognizing genius...Patriots 42 - Giants 17 - It ain't gonna be pretty. Make sure you've got alot of liquer, cheese dip and qualudes...

I smell something burning...
