Exploding the curse
Blowing up the Cubs curse. Can Dusty Baker do it again? I hope so — I’d really love to see that Red Sox/Cubs World Series.
Behold the marketing power of Mel Gibson, who may be approaching the Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston celebrity hall-of-infamy. Said a popular nighttime comic, “If ‘The Passion of the Christ” continues to do well, there’s talk about making it into a book.”
Spiritual guidance, chalupa
Early AM: This is at the Taco Bell on Broadway in Seattle… I’d really like to know what it means. Could it be a guiding example of coming spirituality to fast-food restaurants that offer MexiFries?
Back in Seattle
I’m in Seattle this weekend, and my friend Mary is in from Brighton. This weekend has been about reconnection with friends and family, which makes every trip here (about every six weeks) not so much of a vacation, but a bit of making the rounds. Kirk’s birthday party at Madame K’s, and then a nice detour to Molly Maguire’s to see what Ballard is up to these days.
As a result of seeing this link, I am now a subscriber to Vice Magazine.
$13.86
I’m getting my CD settlement check next week… a whopping $13.86!
So I’m happy someone took the time to create this photo collage: The Rumsfeld Fighting Technique.
And I’m most surprised I’ve never seen this alternative version of the best Electric Six song ever.
When size matters
Howard Dean borrows from Apple’s “switch” campaign to help his campaign, but it’s likely too little too late. To rest one’s hopes on the state of Wisconsin is a shaky foundation indeed.
“If size really mattered, then elections would be won by the guy with the most votes.”
Bill Maher, reading from the Democratic Guide To Dating and Marriage
The Day After Tomorrow
Creepy global warming disaster movie, which will probably suck, because the guy who directed Independence Day is directing it.
Pro Facta
A vintage 1959 Buick converted to a boat, sailed by a group of Cubans, was caught by the US Coast Guard.
The Pentagon cancelled its Internet voting test for military and overseas citizens, citing security concerns.
“I’m pro fact… We can have better discussions about what’s real instead of arguments about what we’re not permitted to know.”
Ron Suskind, author of The Price of Loyalty, on Real Time With Bill Maher
The O’Franken Factor
Steve Bartman, the infamous Cub fan who allegedly deflected a ball in the 6th game of the Cubs vs Florida playoffs is getting his due: MSNBC is airing live coverage of the foul ball’s destruction on February 26th, in hopes of lifting the Cubs curse.
In other Chicago news, Progress Media’s liberal radio network has found an outlet in the city at WNTD-AM 950, a former Spanish-language radio station. Al Franken will feature prominently at the network, with his show, “The O’Franken Factor”.
