Might have to thin out and refresh the collection before the family gets to LA.
Right Choices
With mgp’s shot across my bow, I figured this is a good time to point out something in my life about which I made the right choice: college. This video reminds me why I refused to consider attending a certain University in CT, despite it’s quality reputation and its crew coach’s pursuit of my (once upon a time) rowing abilities:
To be honest, when I first saw the video, I thought it was made by The Lampoon or The Onion. Or maybe even some kind of weird response to this prank:
But then I read the accompanying New Yorker article. Man, oh man. Yale really does suck.
Also, Brian Williams…I’m just shaking my head.
Time Out
It had been a little while (~3 weeks) since i’ve pondered anything important in this location with no readers. There had been a lot of nothing on the politics front. I haven’t seen any good music in Boston (and will yet again miss Dawes when I leave town this weekend). It’s too easy to comment on the stupidity of 10 Best Picture nominees. I’m swamped at work and with wedding planning. Now LOST is back on, which eats up Tuesday nights and my brain the entire next day. Maybe soon I’ll have nothing to say about nothing that I can post here for no one to read.

Martha Coakley, GFY
Seriously, you were a horrendous candidate. Way to “lock it up” by thinking you had it won, totally misreading the public at large and not campaigning at all. Brilliant. Oh, and Democratic Primary voters in MA, you can GFY too. Seriously, way to choose the wrong candidate for the current political environment. I voted for Capuano, who by the way, can GFH. Capuano, you knew this was going to be a difficult election long before anyone else, reportedly telling the caucus “you’re screwed” after the primary campaign. Why weren’t you campaigning for Coakley, or at least drawing attention to national implications of the race?

After discovering that this post was showing up #1 for the Google Search, “Jeff Zucker Worst TV Executive,” I felt compelled to write a brief post on the current Leno/Conan fiasco.
For those that don’t know, Jeff Zucker (The Worst TV Executive in History) decided last season, to put Jay Leno on at 10pm, 5 nights a week, in the place or original dramatic programming. This boneheaded idea was that Jay Leno cost less than original, dramatic programming, which would save the network in costs. This was true. But what the boneheaded WTEiH forgot is that costs are only one side of the equation to making money:
Rebirth of a Weekend Ritual.
I haven’t felt good on a Saturday morning while in Boston in a while. Between my recent battle with The Plague and travel, I haven’t had time to sit and read/eat at my friendly neighborhood bakery. It feels very relaxing to be back.
This despite the fact that I still have 300 pages to go in my book.
Yes
We did. Fucking A. Ephing yes. Amazing. Simply amazing.
What a great fucking country this is. Truly.
McCain
I wonder if will call Obama a socialist who pals around with terrorists in his concession speech? Maybe just dangerous, dishonorable and naive.
Really wondering how he backs away from all of that.
Kiefer’s Whisper
It’s been a while since I’ve watched “24.” It got just a little bit too crazy for me the last season (at least I think it was the last season, with the nuclear explosion, Veep staffer conspiracy to kill the President, etc.). So, I forgot how every line Jack Bauer said was either whispered loudly or screamed, with no middle ground. When we used to get together for Club 24 (about 10 of us, food, one central location and plenty of terrorists), the loud whisper might have been the number one running joke.
The reason I bring this up, is because BofA just ran a commercial, with Kiefer doing the voice over. I realized while listening to the loud whisper explain why Bank of America would keep my money safe that I really believed it. With that loud whisper, I feel like BofA will survive any further financial crises…and take down any entire Middle Eastern terrorist cell with only a handgun and a tattered messenger bag.
Dog
If Barry gets elected, I’m getting a dog by year end…I don’t care what I have to do to convince the undecideds. It’s destiny: I’m meant to have a pup. I’m going to call him “Cam”…if you are creative, you can figure out where the name comes from.
