To the WRONG CITIES. Stoopid Omar Minaya lost Bengie Molina and Joel Pineiro. The Mets need to fire his ass.
Hey, he dodged a bullet on Bengie. Giants fans are livid that Sabean re-signed him. Thirty-five year old catcher with declining defensive skills who is (a) the slowest player in the MLB, and; (b) owner of the lowest OBP in the MLB. Plus he's blocking the arrival of stud-in-waiting Buster Posey.
Admittedly, Omar's done crappy with the kind of budget he's had. The Mets could've had Joe Blanton from the A's for a rosin bag and a throwaway outfielder.
Tom Waits songs are packed to the brim with specific corners and addresses. That's why it's so easy to do the LA tour about him.
10th and Hennepin in Minnesota, though, is the one I would most like to see.
Tep, there are some other Cincy songs. One by Scott Walker. And a country song or two.

You mean 9th and Hennepin, right? That area is completely different than it was when Waits wrote that song.
Corset Reacts to Carbon Dioxide Levels in the Air
Take a deep breath and exhale. Feeling a little tight around the middle? Your corset could be sending you a message about air pollution.
Designer Kristin O’Friel has created a garment that reacts to the carbon dioxide levels in the environment and offers physical feedback by tightening the bodice in relation to air quality.
“I wanted to create an experience that changed our perception of environmental data,” says O’Friel, “by making a wearable device that engaged with this information in a direct and tangible way.”
The CO2RSET has a carbon dioxide sensor sewn into the garment. It responds to CO2 readings by tightening or loosening itself when the levels of the gas in the atmosphere increase or decrease, respectively. O’Friel designed it as a student in the Interactive Telecommunications Program at New York University’s Tisch School of Arts.
I brought my lunch, but they are serving fish and chips at the cafeteria. I am torn.
Now I just need my creative team to find an excuse to use these.

Free wireless score! I think I'm picking up the network from the first-class lounge. And since we're here two hours before the flight, I plan to make good use of it. Maybe I'll even do some work.

I am unfamiliar with the song - does he sing about the parking lot?

For the love of all that's holy, don't read the comments. Or, read them, track down the people who wrote them, and spork them all. Slowly, lingeringly.
You know, whichever.
