Painful choice tonight: first game of the World Series, or the first game of the Timberwolves 2009-2010 NBA season?
I’ll watch both, obviously. That’s why I have a TV and a computer.
I’m just glad I never had to try to listen to two different games on the radio at once.

A sea change at the WaPost? Or just a backlog of anti-pug stories?
Milbank on Jim Inhofe, the last Flat Earther in the Senate
Kathleen Parker on the flap if Obama did degenderize his hoops
E.J. Dionne on the Gallup poll showing more conservatives
Michael Moore: Catholic of the Year?

Agonizing at the ChiTrib over whether copying library CDs is illegal.
Of course it is. Congress passed laws saying so and set a quarter-million dollar fine for anyone who copies a music CD.
The fact that it’s so easy to do doesn’t change the fact that digital content is property, not information.
And some day the suits will wake up to find that all digital data has been set free.
You can pass a law saying that the corporations own the air, but people will keep right on breathing. Don’t want people stealing your music? Don’t record it.

Chicago: still the most racist northern city.
Period.
OK, maybe Boston.
Or Detroit.
Or New York.
Did I mention Cleveland?
What about D.C.?

In the state where Governor Rick Perry raped and murdered an innocent man in 2004, people are talking about Todd Willingham’s attorney.

The gross food movement: more of the unhealthiest food imaginable.
Meanwhile, my healthy food restauranteur client picks up another award. Granted, she’s #10 on a ten-restaurant list, but that’s still impressive when you stop to realize that #9 is a restaurant owned and operated by Wolfgang Puck!

The mistake is in believing that drugs enhance athletic performance.
That’s not the difference maker. Drugs simply show athletes what’s possible. The trick is to learn how to achieve that level without drugs so you can do it game after game.
Pot made me a better bowler, but if I’d wanted to be competitive, I would have had to learn how to replicate that state of relaxation without smoking first. But the key was in discovering that bowling is about zen, not pumping up.
Drugs open doors you didn’t know were there. The trick is to leave those doors unlocked so you can open them anytime.

Sorry, but Minneapolis is way more racist than Chicago. Don’t be fooled by the nice-to-your-facism approach.

You know, that’s something you wouldn’t have had to explain in the 60’s. For all the shit we took over heightening drug use (no, we didn’t invent drug use, that was Hassan i Sabbah & the British East India Co) we understood that drugs were a tool, not a toy. That knowledge seems to have been lost in the mists of time.

Go change, Got veins
Well no comment. But seems you all need to find a place that works. Yesterday is dead.
Some serious photo opps here with captain hope going on Mark, don’t sleep this weekend some shit is definitely a foot.
Me thinks O is about to take some lasting moves on the life, the universe, and everything.. political chess board. Any speculations?
Oh yeah for the long lost “druggie” in any of you….Go heavy, Go tracked… literally and figuratively…free your fucking mind and your ass will follow
You would be shocked just shocked how that can actually work if you are with an active mind and not just looking for outs.
Check it out Mark take a fucking week off with clients…looking forward to your “link spreader” for a change if you put your mind to it and you better slow this action down and think about it. I sincerely think some original perhaps the first O moves are about to drop…O has certainly been in the sand of the past due hourglass. Strap in I thinks it will be lasting I think of a ride. If any such thing is real in body politic anymore we shall see…game on at last though before the shit hit’s the fan with the phantom economy again…
Aren’t you glad you play….
Peace and out….
