Truer fucking words, Tony

April 27th, 2004

“Scalia, the vice president and two of Scalia’s relatives flew together on a government jet to Louisiana for the duck hunt at a camp owned by an oil rig services executive. “‘If it is reasonable to think that a Supreme Court justice can be bought so cheap, the nation is in deeper trouble than I [...]


The M’s, they suck the wind

April 24th, 2004

See, they just have no clue. The game tonight was just painful. It was a “pitcher’s duel” in only the loosest sense of the phrase. It was scoreless until the bottom of the eighth, but while Freddy Garcia was keeping a team hitting .310 silent, Benoit was making quieting a .250 team look like the [...]


Well, how about that?

April 21st, 2004

Raul Ibañez hit two home runs tonight, including a walk-off dinger, to score the only two runs in tonight’s 2-1 win over the A’s. He has hit four home runs in the last three games. Someone’s been giving him pep talks or something: way to go, Raul. Wholly unexpected, but that’s the beautiful thing about [...]


I succumb to viral marketing

April 20th, 2004

Yeah, I know, I’m doing the bidding of our alien automotive overlords, but these two commercials for the SportKa are too good to pass up. Achtung: nicht für animal lovers. You have been warned. Here, Kitty, Kitty Catch that Pigeon!


Hallelujah

April 18th, 2004

The M’s no longer possess the worst record in baseball. They took the series against Texas, AS WELL THEY SHOULD, although they mysteriously made Chan Ho Park look like a competent pitcher. Having Scott Spiezio in the lineup for the first time did wonders for the team. Looks like he fits in well, and is [...]


The M’s are doomed

April 15th, 2004

So the M’s are down a run with runners at first and third, no outs, bottom of the 7th in Anaheim. This looks to go down as loss #7 out of 8 games played thus far; it ain’t over, but the hideous things that have happened thus far are just mind-blowing. The best defense in [...]


Some good news, for a change

April 15th, 2004

Oh, I can’t wait. David Hasselhoff is producing (and starring in!) a Knight Rider movie. I’m giggling already.


MT-Blacklist is installed

April 14th, 2004

I have installed MT-Blacklist, which was phenomenally easy. Updated my list, and fired the thing up, and it’s now working to keep me spam-free. Spammers are truly the scum of the earth. They are only better than Bush by virtue of their inability to actually wage an illegal war that kills thousands, but their lack [...]


The world is full of rat bastards

April 14th, 2004

And for once, I’m not talking about Shrub. I’m talking about the porn spammers, the v1agra/cialis spammers, the penis enlargement spammers, all the fuckers that I’ve just discovered had left 200+ comments in my blog for their crappy scam sites. Why it took so long for them to discover my site, I’ll never know, but [...]


And One More Thing

April 14th, 2004

Can some please please please tell him about getting his subjects and objects to agree with his verbs? In prepared text, no less? “This has been tough weeks in that country.” “I presented a Purple Heart to some of our wounded” (assuming that it’s not several injured soldiers sharing one medal) “The terrorists who take [...]
