Sox Win, Phillies Win, Palin Loses

0
That about sums it up. The Phillies - behind 3 RBI's by Brett Myers for goodness sake - are now up 2-0 on Manny and the Dodgers as they head out to LA for game 3 tomorrow night at 8:22 ET.  Dice K, meanwhile, pitched his way out of several jams and shut down the Rays, [...] Click to continue reading...

Phillies Win One … Palin Losing One?

0
The Phillies pulled out a 3-2 win with a big sixth inning and so are up 1-0 over Manny and the Dodgers (a sixties Motown group that some of you may remember fondly - I certainly do).  Cole Hamels looked a little shakier than I like him to, but he got the win, and I'm [...] Click to continue reading...

Trolling Through Tuesday

1
Check out Susan's comment on Alison's post yesterday (and Welcome, Alison - I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say here)!  Speaking of the Electoral College, I heard an interesting piece on NPR about the Electoral College - kinda scary how little people know about it! And speaking of scary, the McCainiacs are getting [. Click to continue reading...

McCain Unmasking Monday, Tech Tips, and Soccer Sundries

0
 The Time Finder posted information about some great computer shortcuts this morning - along with a link to the NY Times article by David Pogue.  Who knew, for example, that you can use Google like a calculator?  And here's a cool tip that I found in the "Comments" - A little less known one I enjoy [.

Home Again and Back to Blogging, by Golly

1
This morning I checked BlueHampshire and was pleased to see this piece about the level of desperation in the McSame camp. I groaned aloud last night when I heard Palin regurgitating that Bill Ayers story yet again.  Despicable and empty ploy ... but what I like about it is how it reflects the ongoing disarried and [.

Soccer, and That’s All - Almost

8
As the Senate gets ready to vote on a new bill to stave off economic disaster, and Sarah prepares (feverishly) to debate, and George Will joins the ranks of those who see her as unqualified to serve ... and some (unfortunately) find themselves feeling sorry for the lipsticked pitbull ... my thoughts turn (feverishly) to [.

Sunday Sundries … Before the Great Migration

0
I'm going to be migrating everything from my old computer to my new one in just a wee bit ... so am posting somewhat quickly now.  Hopefully you'll hear from me again. If not, you'll know that things went badly here ... A bailout agreement has apparently been reached. I read some excellent debate analysis [. Click to continue reading...

The Administration That Cried Wolf, McCain’s Mental Status, the WPS, and Happy Birthday HollyCornblog!

1
Lots to write about today ... and let me start with what's been nagging at me ever since this whole Wall Street debacle became the latest national emergency.  I keep thinking, "What if this really is an emergency?  Bush certainly looked terrified last night in the clips I saw of his address to the nation.

Tuesday and We’re Back at It

0
I'm home and still catching up, so this will be brief.  We're undergoing an audit by the State of NH at work starting tomorrow and running through the end of the week.  (As Princess Sparkle Pony would say ... "Yay!"). On the actual, honest-to-goodness YAY front, I see that the Phillies won (again) over the Braves, [. Click to continue reading...

Quick Soccer Updates-Big Goal by Markgraf!

2
The USWNT beat Ireland 2-0 in the final game of their post-Olympic tour.  Here's the write-up and the quote sheet from US Soccer.  Kate Markgraf scored the first goal of her international career ... almost on Boltgirl's pace. The Bobcats had a tough day down at Amherst.  (Don't worry- you'll all bounce back! Click to continue reading...

Friday Flotsam (and Jetsam, Too)

0
I'm very excited to be heading over to HollyCornblog's house today for a weekend visit. We'll be doing some chores at the lake like bringing in the dock, bringing in HollyCornblog's sailboat, etc. I'll also be inspecting the amazing and gargantuan work that she and CharlieHopbrew did on the new woodshed up there.

So Much Depends …

0
I read on The Writer's Almanac that it's William Carlos Williams' birthday today.  He wrote one of my favorite poems - The Red Wheelbarrow. so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens. It makes me think of looking into crystalline water ... absolutely transparent and absolutely mysterious! Click to continue reading...

McCain Beyond the Palin - Even Turdblossom Decries the Lies

1
Yes, it's true.  Turdblossom (aka Karl Rove) has spoken out about the excesses of the McCain campaign ads.  To my mind the fact that he would do this publicly speaks, not to any new found sense of decorum or fair play in the doughy sleazeball, but to the fractiousness and internecine warfare within the Republican [.

Rushed Saturday Stuff …

1
This morning's post will likely be quick, as I've gotta make 2 dozen sandwiches for some soccer-game tailgating by 7:30 AM.  But enough about me! On Truthdig I came upon this Palin Perspective from John Dean (yes, that John Dean).  Basically he argues, rather damningly, that were a sitting President in the position of having to [.

In What Respect, Charlie?

2
This clip of Charlie Gibson's interview with Sarah Palin pretty much says it all.  McCain may be channeling Bush, but Sarah is pretty much the real thing ... never EVER letting her ignorance stand in the way of her swagger and bellicosity. Here's a bit more from the interview ... Pressed about what insights into recent [. Click to continue reading...
