I think it's like owning a big truck or, in celebrities/atheletes cases, a fleet of big trucks.

New England gets Randy Moss/Oakland gets a 4th round pick. Why couldn't GB do this?

The Saints added Antonio Pittman to their running back collection.

I'm still willing to try Moss in Green Bay.

My apologies to vivalaultra.

Anyone catch the low-speed pursuit on cable news this afternoon? The driver was throwing stuff out the window and, though it looked rather obviously like cigarette packs and a hat, the announcers kept hyping them as 'possible bombs'. Their producer finally told them to just say it was clearly cigarettes and a hat. That bit was on Msnbc. Over at Fox they offered up 'suspect may be heavily armed' on their graphic for minutes after the people were already in police custody.

It's the kind of twinkle that would've made John Adams and Elbridge Gerry swoon.

Bawlmer, hon. I should add the location a few more times but instead will correct the original sentence. I'm going to Lollapalooza.

While everything Kotz said about Kucinich was true, especially him being forced to take a backseat in the media due to a lack of celebrity apeeal, none of it equates to the early Presidents. All the early Presidents were highly qualified (there has never ben a more credentialed 6 Presidents in our history than the first 6) and had the aristocratic/dandy appearances going for them. All of the first 6 were also quite popular/well-known and had laregly been groomed for the job via their prior experience.

I would agree that Barack won last night's debate. He looked very comfortable up there, probably equaled only by Hillary in terms of 'fitting in'. Biden's answer of 'yes' and nothing more to the question of his ability to curb inclination towards rambling and gaffes as President was perfect. I was watching most closely to see if Richardson could use last night as a starting point for a Dean-eque ascendency. Didn't happen. The Governor looked very uncomfortable at times and his inability to answer questions correctly or within time limits wont endear him to anyone. Edwards stared blankly at the camera for about ten seconds before clumsily answering who his 'moral authority' is. He also struggled with hair-cuts and hedge-funds. How people could think Mike Gravel 'won' the debate is beyond me. He was funny, though. And I'm still waiting for an explanation on this 'Kucinish as a Founding Father ideal' thing.

Yeah, I'm awaiting an explanation for that gem as well.

Ben Sheets is probable for his next start, scheduled for next Tuesday at home vs. the Cards.

You must've confused Biden for Mike Gravel.

Man.

Anyone else watching the debate tonight?

She looks like she's 45.

Another reason to root for Oscar: 50 Cent will be leading PBF to the ring.

"We couldn't stop terrorism before, and we still ignore it in favor of other stuff now, but trust is 2008!" -Rudy & the GOP

He was sitting in a folding chair with his legs spread modestly (is that the word to use there?). A Cub hit a foul ball that lined into Shouse's foot and bounced back up into his whathaveyou. It was rather comical, really. Also, it was indeed a 'right groin strain' for Sheets. Hopefully nothing too severe for our ace. I think that, more than maybe anything else right now, the Brewers most glaring problem is that they are hitting an incredible amount of homeruns but they are far too often with nobody on base.

Rudy napped through November '06 and nobody has told him that the Down's strategy no longer carries as much weight.

That's it. Season over.

And, in another stunning development, Sheets left the game with what might have been a groin pull. Brian Shouse also took a foul ball to the groin while watching the game.

Lollapalooza will be my first time actually seeing Son Volt.
