Bush Picks Up Two Key Endorsements: Terry Bradshaw and Howie LongWhen 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. posted by Ace at 05:36 PM

Schilling, Bradshaw, Long, most of NASCAR... Why is it the jocks are for Bush? I'm starting to believe that "Team America" speech. Posted by: Joe R. the Unabrewer on October 31, 2004 06:38 PM
With the Sox winning, all sports predictors and curses are now null and void. Everything changed after 9/11. Posted by: blaster on October 31, 2004 06:39 PM
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. Posted by: Joe R. the Unabrewer on October 31, 2004 06:40 PM
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. Posted by: p on October 31, 2004 06:56 PM
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!" Posted by: Iblis on October 31, 2004 06:57 PM
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.

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, Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on October 31, 2004 08:27 PM
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. Posted by: Cpl. Menno on October 31, 2004 10:22 PM

FAA fines SpaceX $633K for acting without its permission "These fines therefore are simply because FAA management has hurt feelings because SpaceX wouldn't wait for it to twiddle its thumbs for a few more weeks. The fines also suggest that FAA management is either being pressured to hinder SpaceX's commercial operations by higher ups in the White House, or that management itself is trying to exert more power over the company, for apparently very petty reasons."

New book edited by Michael Walsh and featuring essays by Glenn Reynolds, Kurt Schlichter, and others: Against the Corporate Media: Forty-Two Ways the Press Hates You
Michael Walsh asked me to contribute a chapter to this book. I bailed out when I couldn't find a new angle on topic. But Walsh found a bunch of writers who do have new things to say. I'll review the book soon. Definitely consider buying it.
Supposedly a Twitter account called "The Black Insurrectionist" has a signed affidavit from an anonymous ABC "News" staffer, alleging that Muir and Kamala's sorority sister exchanged questions behind the scenes. I don't know if this is true. He says he's keeping the name of the staffer anonymous, so there will be no way to verify it even if he publishes it. Shrug. It's not much but a claim.

Now get on outta here. Scat! Don't touch that coat..."
A tale of two stories about Haiti. "When Trump was president, the media rushed to push the false story of Border Patrol agents 'whipping' Haitian migrants. When Democrats are in power, they rush to debunk the story about Haitian migrants eating pets in Ohio." [Buck]
From 1985: Is this the most obscure Forgotten 80s Mystery Click ever?
Another scratched or scribbled note Hint: The band's name is a reference to their hometown of Niagara Falls, Canada. Two handsome men in overcoats Deception right in front of me Or jealous fantasy Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Something that sets you apart It tightens your grip on my heart Don't ever let it go I thought Donny Iris was super-obscure, but then like 20 commenters told me "Oh I've always been a big Donny Iris fan, he was huge in Pittsburgh (or wherever)." So maybe people will tell me "I still play this album" or something.
This AI short "movie" is creepy and a little scary
Mind blown: "Adult" and "adolescent" are the same word!
So "adolescent" is basically the progressive form of the verb adolscere, to grow, to mature, so an adolescent is maturing. Adult, from adoltus, is the part tense of the verb, which means, "matured." I looked it up because I started to wonder why these near-opposite terms looked so much alike. Nostalgia for you all. Autumn...
