That dude better have awesome hair and tell funny jokes.
Not so much.
If he's a good ballplayer, that will help too.
Um...
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
60 Minutes report on the Bush administration censoring science:
Hansen is arguably the world's leading researcher on global warming. He's the head of NASA's top institute studying the climate. But this imminent scientist tells correspondent Scott Pelley that the Bush administration is restricting who he can talk to and editing what he can say. Politicians, he says, are rewriting the science.
But he didn't hold back speaking to Pelley, telling 60 Minutes what he knows.
Asked if he believes the administration is censoring what he can say to the public, Hansen says: "Or they're censoring whether or not I can say it. I mean, I say what I believe if I'm allowed to say it."
...
Dozens of federal agencies report science but much of it is edited at the White House before it is sent to Congress and the public. It appears climate science is edited with a heavy hand. Drafts of climate reports were co-written by Rick Piltz for the federal Climate Change Science Program. But Piltz says his work was edited by the White House to make global warming seem less threatening.
Might not be news to some, but it's cool that 60 Minutes is covering this....

What is even happening?
WTF. Wily Mo Pena?? That dude better have awesome hair and tell funny jokes. (If he's a good ballplayer, that will help too.)
And be a musician, and be cute as button. Ben met Bronson. He autographed a ball for him, and was just really nice. He's going to be heartbroken. He was just talking about him this morning, because he couldn't figure out why the Sox had put him in the starting rotation.
I'm telling ya, the Yanks must be trembling in their cleats.Yeah, just like the Providence...erm Newport...uh Rhode Island. Oh yeah, that's right.

He's almost here! Really!!

A really tall, narrow button. What with the hair and the long legs and that high-kick delivery, he looks more and more like a Rockette every day.
At least the Juan Gon deal is a minor-league thing.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
WW question: How have they dealt with the death of John Spencer, if at all? Just wondering.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

In a way it doesn't matter, he won't be playing anyway.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
HIVEMIND ALERT
We were talking last night and BF and a friend, both Jewish, were saying there are no positive portrayals of American Jews in films in the last 10 years. And by positive, they meant not nerdy neurotic guy. I can think of plenty in television, but none in film off the top of my head. I think films have been blanding out in all kinds of ways, and making leading men as non-specific as possible is one sign of that deplorable trend. In the '70s the top three male stars were Hoffman, DeNiro, and Pacino. Now we have Pitt, Hanks, and Cruise.
Any film titles with American Jewish Leads come to mind?
