Republicans attack Elana Kagan by shitting on Thurgood Marshall...
That seems like a reasonable line of attack. Justice Marshall isn't a hero to many in this country or anything.
On a side note, isn't it interesting to see a white Republican Senator from Alabama named Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, III paint the first African-American Supreme Court Justice as a bad guy?
The GOP really seems to be serious about minority outreach, don't you think?

I love this song...
Since it wasn't a big hit, I'm curious to see how many of you have heard it.
"Only a Memory" by The Smithereens
Have a great weekend, everybody...

Wow...That's a pretty great story...
The U.S. soccer team advances to the round of 16 in the World Cup, thanks to a goal in injury time by captain Landon Donovan.
Very cool...

A lowlife Republican from Texas...
Seriously, who would've thought that such a thing existed???
Rep. Joe Barton is a hayseed shill and he's got Big Oil's johnson so far up his ass, he actually APOLOGIZED TO BP's CEO for having to pony up $20 billion to pay for destroying the Gulf of Mexico...
By the way, he's not the only Republican backing a British company against an American president.
Here are a few more fine patriots...

To be honest...
Nothing is interesting to me right now, so I won't even fake it.
Anyone have something cool to report?

Some pics from a second successful gig with Power Play...
We kicked ass and rocked the suburbs to pieces.
Big thanks to my wife, Kerrianne, for putting everything together, to G for flying down from Mass. to hold down the bottom end, and to everyone in the band for making it a great second gig!!! Now, to the pics...
It has been brought to my attention that I hammed it up regularly throughout our 2-hour performance. This is a charge I cannot possibly refute...
I include this shot only because I love the way my guitar looks in it...
As close to a group shot as was possible during the performance...
See my previous comment about hamming it up...
Drumsalad banging the skins and shattering ear drums...
G feeling the groove and shaking the bowels...
The whole group, complete with some of the most vicious sweat stains I've ever seen!!!

Two years ago, I would've been devastated...
Before the Phillies won the World Series in 2008, the prospect of the Flyers losing their shot at the Stanley Cup on a cheesy goal in OT of an exciting Game 6 probably would've caused me to skip work today in a fit of utter depression.
Instead, I'm realizing that Bill Simmons' 12th "Rule for being a true fan" needs to be amended to include all teams in your home city:
After your team wins a championship, they immediately get a five-year grace period: You can't complain about anything that happens with your team (trades, draft picks, salary-cap cuts, coaching moves) for five years. There are no exceptions.The better team skated away with the Cup last night. It's a tough pill to swallow, but I'm too proud of this Flyers team to hang my head this morning...
P.S. To his credit, the talented Rob Ullman called this series from the start and even came up with a brilliant illustration for the occasion...

This constitutes "front page news" on ESPN.com???
A kid grabs his old man's beer and takes a pull off it at a Phillies game, and the story makes it to the front page of ESPN.com while the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Finals are ongoing?
Somehow, I doubt this would be considered even remotely newsworthy if it happened in St. Louis, Kansas City or some other town in flyover country...
P.S. Jamz, before you pull out your "typical Philly fan" schtick, go ahead and fuck yourself instead...

A very odd tune that I find extremely catchy...
Seriously, what could rock more than a tune featuring Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking???
Oh, she'll be a U.S. Senator really soon...
Linda McMahon, wife of the WWE's Vince McMahon and the Republican nominee for Senate in Connecticut, had this to say about steroids...
"So I still don't think we know the long-term effects of steroids. They are continuing to study it more and more, but I don't believe there are a lot of studies out there today that are conclusive."Chris Benoit...Brian Pillman...Eddie Guerrero...Bam Bam Bigelow...Big Boss Man...Test...Curt Hennig...
The list goes on...
A woman who's family business has this much blood on its hands really shouldn't be downplaying the negative effects of steroids, should she?

South Carolina: Getting crazier by the day...
I know that's saying a lot when it comes to the only state to ever start a war against the other states, but their political climate is getting downright creepy...
GOP candidate for Senate busted for embellishing his military record...
...strangely, Jamz hasn't brought this to my attention.
Get a load of Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL)'s positively Bushian explanation for multiple misstatements he's made about his military record:
"I simply misremembered it wrong."I just got douche chills...

Do the right thing, Selig...
This kid got fucked out of a perfect game last night, and you have the power to fix it. I don't care if you're afraid of "setting a precedent". You weren't worried about that when you let the All-Star game end in a tie a few years ago.
Do the right thing for once in your life, you douche...
UPDATE: Selig isn't reversing the call. At some point, I'd love to see him clutch his chest and fall face-first into a urinal. That would be a fitting end for this moron...

The weekend in sports...
Let me preface this story by saying that I'm not making this up. After Roy Halladay got shelled last week by the Red Sox, I knew he would do something special to make up for it.
I thought he'd come out and throw a no-hitter. No bullshit.
That being said, I had NO IDEA he'd throw the 20th perfect game in major league history against a tough Florida Marlins club.
I learned of the perfect game on my new iPod (thanks again, Kerri!) during the intermission of The Color Purple at DPAC and literally felt a jolt of electricity run through my body. How can someone get so excited about a game they didn't even see!
Amazing achievement, Doc.
On the hockey front, the Flyers are down 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals and I'm not even close to hitting the panic button. They are tough as friggin' nails and the next 2 games are in Philly.
I still like their chances...
UPDATE: Check out the story of a Phillies fan who was in the stadium for Halladay's perfect game on his birthday...
