I Don't Even Know You Any More

Kenny Rogers pitched in Game 2 of the World Series tonight and went 8 complete innings giving up 2 hits and no runs. In his prior two post-season starts, he gave up no runs over 15 innings. If my math is right, over his last three starts he has pitched 23 innings and not allowed a single run. He is 41 years old. Incredible.

Stem Cells and Michael J. Fox

I can't say I've learned everything I need to know about stem cell research, but Michael J. Fox cares enough about it to appear in a campaign commercial in Missouri. And he cares so deeply about the issue that he isn't scared to show the effects of his battle with Parkinson's Disease. On youtube.com here.

I Don't Know

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Illinois)

The media is in love with this guy. I just don't get it.

One Tree Hill

My tribute to a TV show I have never heard of.

From The Window To The Wall

I don't think this is what Lil Jon had in mind. (Penn State fans.)

Game Day "Hey, Now"

Random Game Day Pics

Oh my

I'll never bad mouth my Bears again.

Baylor 36 Kansas 35

Random thoights at halftime

- It is really hot - Baylor may be the worst team in America - I just saw a black guy get arrested by The Man - On the way down, I saw a billboard that read 'Alvarado - one city under God' - Some Baylor students were holding a banner over I-35 that read 'Honk for impeachment!'

So I Did

As I Seriously . . .

. . . think about driving to Waco for Baylor/Kansas on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

Country Grammer

So I'm reading about the exploding population in northern Tarrant County and come across this sentence: A significant number of houses is also being built in southwest Fort Worth, as well as in the central city, including in and around downtown. I feel like an idiot. It seems like that should be "are" but I think it has something to do with a prepositional phrase. But I have no idea. I'm spending the rest of the night diagramming sentences while smoking marihoochie and playing bongo drums.

I abandon Microsoft's IE browser a few months ago and started using Firefox. I love it. You can get it here for free.

Smells Like

If you ever wanted to see Nirvana's Kurt Cobain smash someone over the head with a guitar and then get his arse kicked, check out this. (The good stuff on the youtube.com clip comes at the 3:00 minute mark.) It occurred in Deep Ellum 15 years ago.

Thank you. I'll be here all week. Edit: And I'm talking about his big brain, not his speech. Although an explanation can truly ruin the timing of a joke.
