'Why We Fight'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Don't know if he is a prince or an asshole, but I feel bad that his victory is so tainted.
I think the general consensus from most people is asshole. Which, IMHO, is more responsible for the constant bad press he gets than the suspicion of steroid use. I think, for example, if McGwire's career had lasted long enough to approach Aaron's record he would have gotten much more favorable coverage despite questions about his own use of performance enhancers.
Yay, two days of Callaluna!
96 degrees + 48% humidity = 105 heat index
I thought it was supposed to be even more humid, so I was surprised when I went outside a few minutes ago, and it wasn't all that bad. I mean, I wouldn't want to hang out in it, but it was slightly less sauna-ish than it felt like yesterday, or I expected.
I agree with Matt, re: Bonds. His attitude to the public has been quite assholish. I also agree that McGwire would have had a different response. Though McGwire should have been voted into the Hall of Fame this year and was denied due to the "steriod scandal". We will see what happens with next year's voting. He is just the first of MANY who will have that cloud over their head when it comes to HoF voting.
eta - cloud makes much more sense than could.
Callaluna!
I just scrolled back and found your visit and name change. I'm closer to you than usual, only an 8 hour drive from the Adirondacks. Those of us not in the 255 will need pictures. Dress is very pretty. No doubt will be prettier on you.
I'm at work!
Uhm, yay?
I don't follow baseball or Bonds, but not surprised that his attitude is bad. From what I have read in recent years the HoF process is a bad joke.
Paul Fleuranges is hardly the government! I was on the N. By the time I got to 14th Street and heard my first announcements, they were "There is no 1,2,3,4,5,6 service, and no N,R,Q,W service into Brooklyn OR Queens." AWESOME.
When the government tells you to stay home, you create flexible definitions of government officials!
I just tried the 1,2,3. No service downtown. I guess I'm staying? I'm now at the point where I'm not sure how much effort I need to put into trying to get to work.
Fred Pete, I'm thinking good thoughts for Teddy!
The A train is running, bon bon.
I want to go stay in an ice hotel. Our A/C is still chugging along but I just took the kids out and it's miserable outside. We're currently watching Ice Age and eating ice cream.
Sam has ice cubes in his water bowl.
Miraclemans' commentary on Dora has been laughing hysterically. I would like to note for the record, though, that Owen climbs the stair while chanting "sube."
