Bush Picks Up Two Key Endorsements: Terry Bradshaw and Howie Long

When JB read the stat that said whenever the Redskins lose before the election, the incumbent loses, Bradshaw began saying "Say it ain't so" while Long said "Ain't gonna happen."

Blaster Says Don't Worry About the Redskins Losing: "With the Sox winning, all sports predictors and curses are now null and void."

That sounds pretty good to me.

I think the Football Gods will exact their retribution for "Lambert Field"

They are toying with him...

Schilling, Bradshaw, Long, most of NASCAR...

Why is it the jocks are for Bush? I'm starting to believe that "Team America" speech.

With the Sox winning, all sports predictors and curses are now null and void.

Everything changed after 9/11.

There was also a Monday Night Football game, very early in the season, in Foxboro, that had an exchange like this:

Madden (commenting on a play): That's what you call a flip-flop.
Michaels: You're in the right state for that.

Jocks are for Bush because they know there is no easy way to win but through concerted effort ... marrying a rich woman doesn't get you much on the field ... Bush is in the fight and willing to takes risks that Kerry and many liberals are not willing to take.

Blaster is right. There is no way under normal circumstances a guy as fiercly competitive as the Babe would allow his curse to fall to #2 to the cubbies!Something else is going on, so all sports predictors are out the window.

"Stay on Target!"

AC/DC also wrote "Giving the Dog a Bone." This might not be the most ineffective song, but it is surely one of the most tasteless. Bad Company's "Feel Like Making Love" with its thrusting guitar riff is quite tasteless, too. These might work with the "right" woman, though.


There is no "right" woman for Lee Greenwood's song, however.

I must've missed that bit today, but that's great news. Then again, it *is* Fox.

It's nearly enough to make me forgive Howie for "Firestorm" and those insufferable Radio Shack commercials.

Terry's a god among men, however.

Cheers,
Dave

Also the Patriots winning streak was finally brought to an end today, signaling that this is indeed the year in which past trends/streaks do not matter.

Lost Seventies Mystery Click: The Darkest Song Ever Recorded?
I think Professor of Rock (on YouTube) claimed this song was so upsetting that people used to pull over to the side of the road when it came on the radio. It's about a fatal plane crash, but obviously it suggests a fatal car crash too, which could wig out a driver.
It's like one of those nasty 70s anti-war body horror movies. Not for the squeamish. I'm not even going to post the lyrics because they're upsetting too.

Lost 90s Mystery Click: College Radio Edition
Well you look fantastic in your cast-off casket
At least the thing still runs
This nine to five bullshit don't let you forget
Whose suicide you're on.

Also:
You wax poetic about things pathetic
As long as you look so cute
Believe these hills are starting to roll
Believe these stars are starting to shoot

Everybody wants you

I'm frankly surprised the title is 107 Days. I would have thought it would be:

Days Are Important: The Amount of Days Was a Number and That Number Was 100 Plus 7 Which is 107. 107. One Hundred and Seven. It's a Memoir and Memoirs are About Remembering Things Because Remembering Things is Good. Not Bad. Good. Memoir. A Memoir. Like a Reservoir But With Memory. We Have to Let it Flow. We Have to Let It Flow Into the Reservoir of Our Mind and Our Heart. Our Heart Which is the Beating Heart of Not Just Our Blood, But Our Progress. And Our People. And Democracy. The End.

Soft weak poop from the early 80s Mystery Click
I never liked this song, but it is memorable. In a weak, annoying way.
The kid's in shock up and down the block
The folks are home playing beat the clock
Down at the golden cup
They set the young ones up
Under the neon light
Selling day for night
It's alright
Nobody rides for free (nobody, nobody)
Nobody gets it like they want it to be (nobody, nobody)
Nobody hands you any guarantee (nobody, nobody)
Nobody

Former CIA operative John Kiriakou talks with Matt Taibbi about the Brennan/Comey Coup
Both guys are old liberals, maybe even of the far-left variety, and both are appalled by the Democrat/Deep State coup against the US. Kiriakou says that CIA officers were legally obligated to report to the Inspector General John Brennan's repeated overruling of actual intelligence to encode his partisan conspiracy theories into US intel product, but of course they didn't.
