It's like they found, and destroyed, every single show I hated (that premiered this season, anyway).

God bless our overseers at the networks.

good for you jimmy!! i went camping in the shenandoah mountains this past weekend and experienced that same sort of wonderment... and while i saw billions and billions more stars than i've ever seen from my suburban backyard i'm sure it's nothing compared to what you were able to see out in the desert. think any of that would show up in pictures?

oh and way to go getting off the smokes!!

I'm no fan of Gregg Easterbrook (especially when he manages crap like this -- dude, actually read the case law, then comment, ok?), but being fired from ESPN for comments that he immediately apologized for, made in a different venue than on ESPN, is simply stupid.

Look, TMQ sucked. Hard. I think Easterbrook is largely overrated. He and I diverge politically, early and often. But the guy is a more or less reasonable fellow, he made a mistake, he apologized, now he's fired and his columns have all been yanked from ESPN?

Lame, kids. But ESPN has been getting lame for a while now. Like, since they started treating NASCAR as a "sport."

Hi, Jimmy!

hey i'm kris. the one who took the bait. i worked columbus day and i don't believe in the "push present"... i got a baby... what could beat that? i don't think i'd ever tire of jimmy's unique style of ranting but i'm happy to offer an angry chic perspective (if ya looked at my blog mebbe i'm not so angry). i could go off on a number of things just at the moment... the sad state of television these days, cashing in on life changing events for baubles, why i watch womens beach volleyball ;).... but for now i'm wayyyy too busy laughin my fool head off at the gruesome footage jeff has shared with everyone.
hello to chris - the smart guy, jeff - mister culture, and jimmy - el mayorino, if yer not into the whole brevity thing... the pics? you look marvelous! a smile would simply shatter the whole sourpuss gig ya got goin. hope i don't let ya down!

Oh, and for the record:

My dream Series, now that the Braves are gone, is Marlins-Sox, with the Marlins winning in four. That way, the good people of New England can go back to being depressed again, and the f'ing Cubs can rot in hell.

Dude: Do you really think that's something new? If it's "new," then "new" translates as "since the 50s or so."

My wife has a list. She had a list last time. Some of the bleeping expecting baby books we have provide "sample lists." It's so ingrained now, don't expect to get away from it.

Won't fly.

Some jerkoff kid is suing to get his butt mauled by professional linebackers. The NFL has a rule that you have to be three years removed from high school graduation to get drafted. This winner is only 1.5. Of course he's the exception. Of course he is.

With the caveat that labor law ain't my thing, I'd like to say that I like Dennis Kucinich's chances for the Presidency better than I like this kid's before, eventually, the Supreme Court. The league is a private entity, isn't a monopoly, is set up as a single institution with 32 subsets (show me the anti-trust violation), and has a good reason for the rule: Broken kids do not prime-time viewing make.

Can this yutz and his ethically challenged enterprising attorney find a Federal District Court Judge to agree with them? Kids, I'd be surprised if they couldn't find a Federal District Court Judge who's willing to issue a writ of mandamus ordering the President to bow before our dolphin masters. (An Article III appointment does funny things to a man.) The real question is whether the oft-reversed Second Circuit goes in for the flim-flam and gets, well, reversed, or they nip it in the bud on the first round of appeals.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart no longer "a rapper."

Star Trek II no longer considered a "chick flick."

Dennis Kucinich no longer considered "sane."

Dixie Chicks no longer "country."
