the economist comes out for kerry...

see for yourselves

also here's a list of competing endorsements.

fredeeky loves puppies...

"Now there are helicopters," Father Gaillard, one of four remaining monks at the St. Bernard's hospice here, said with some irritation. "And we have a golden retriever, which is our dog for avalanches. This is not the 1800's. This is not the 1900's. Since then, helicopters and other fast ways to save people have been introduced."

classy job by a classy guy...

In a last ditch bid to win Pennsylvania’s electoral votes, where Democratic Sen. John Kerry is leading is most polls, President George W. Bush has engaged in mailings which contain myriad graphic images of the burning World Trade Center on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.
wasn't this guy in charge when all this went down? or does being on vacation give him a free pass.

thanks to barry beck...

if we paired these with pong i think that i would suffer a serious heart attack

that's a big number...

An estimated 100,000 civilians have died in Iraq as a direct or indirect consequence of the March 2003 United States-led invasion, according to a new study by a research team at the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.

first i dominate and then i dominate...

of course fredeeky dominated the pong circuit and is still looking for someone who can give him a run.

last night sven deezy () thought he could come in and take me, but he went a cool 0-3. a-game actually took me to extra innings, but a tight shirt and some well timed adjustments are largely to blame. andre the giant then teamed up with the deezy for a two on one royal rumble, but they both went down without even a whimper.

reggie roby was too "sick" (read, scared) to even challenge.

nice work if you can get it, without anyone else bidding on the contract...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The FBI is investigating whether U.S. officials improperly awarded Vice President Dick Cheney's former company lucrative contract work without competition, a probe that was confirmed only days after a top Army contract officer raised the issue of favoritism.

The expanded investigation is converging with statements made last weekend by Bunnatine Greenhouse, the chief contracting officer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The FBI has requested an interview with Greenhouse, who said her agency unfairly awarded KBR, a Halliburton subsidiary, the Iraq work.

also the "liberal press" buried this story today. npr were the only people to give it any play.

sox fans are just attention starved whiners...

"I'm having trouble dealing with it," said Mike Andrews, who played second base for the Red Sox in 1967, when they lost to the Cardinals during one of their many close-but-no-cigar face-offs.

"You're just kind of caught saying, 'What's next?' " said Mr. Andrews, who now leads the Jimmy Fund, a cancer organization in Boston that is the team's principal charity. "I don't want to say it's a letdown. But it's certainly something you let become part of your life and it's gone now, and we need to come up with something new."

"we need something new" translates to: let's find a new bandwagon to jump on.

who really hates this guy:

goths for bush...

We are forming this Goth Republican Band to help elect George Bush to continue the sadness. His actions facilitate our morbid fascination and the beauty of enduring pain. Many people lead unhappy lives and that is sad. Bush will continue the sadness. He knows that gentle people are excellent for spanking. His foreign policy is the best, he spanks the world and the unseen one knows it deserves it, so beautifully dirty, grimy and perverse.

he easily beat out dr. octogon, leatherface and gollum...

LONDON - With U.S. voters soon to pass their verdict on President George W. Bush, readers of a British magazine have rated him the year's top screen villain.

what could possibly go wrong...

(10/26/04 - CORVALLIS, OR) — Now playing in Corvallis, Pi Beta Rho fraternity, brought to you by Pabst Blue Ribbon.
In what marketers believe is the first instance of a beer brand sponsoring a student group, the beer maker has adopted the unaffiliated Oregon State University fraternity.

also the best anti-sawx comment in some time:

i marked my red sox ornaments up by $5.00, making our rip on each one an unprecedented 1200%, some asshole with a sox hat on just bought 5 of them with his family. take that jerk off.

where has jerome from manhattan been?

here's your answer

(although his head may have exploded after the yanks blew that 3-0 lead.)

welcome to miami...

MIAMI (Reuters) - A Florida motorist was arrested Wednesday on charges of trying to run down U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris at an intersection where the controversial former state elections chief was campaigning for re-election to Congress.

"I was exercising my political expression," it quoted him as saying. "I did not run them down, I scared them a little."

famous freds deciding the election...

This election season, Washington Redskins cornerback Fred Smoot has a predicament: For Kerry to win, the Redskins have to lose on Sunday — at least according to a bizarre statistical correlation that's been accurate for seven decades.

1918 bitches...

i'm just going to pretend that none of this ever happened. yankee fans: keep throwing 1918 at them just like in the old days. even when they say they just won the series get in their face and yell, "1918 bitches!" just keep doing it, but you've got to believe it and really sell it to them. they're not very bright. they'll give you that johnnie damon ape-man/unfrozen caveman stare and then walk away and feel shame.

ponging is on...

we'll say around 9 tonite. if you're in just throw up a comment and i'll seed everyone based on nothing other than their personallity and confidence levels. the place is on christoper just west of seventh. it's right next to the 1/9 stop on christopher. there will be pre-game sandals for all who like that sort of thing. i'm going to try and procure some prizes, but i may just pick up some leather harnesses from one of the neighboring fetish stores since i know that i'll be dominating all of you trolls at the ancient sport of table tennis.

fredeeky invitational...

blogging from home just feels wrong, but i want to let my nine readers know that the pong tourney will be tomorrow nite and i also want to reiterate my intentions of dominating.

also, i just wanted to let earl know that your novel length joke was the worst comment of all-time.

more sox hating...

comments from a new favorite blog: myblogispoop.blogspot.com)


Curt Schilling says that he wants to bring a World Championship to Boston. Curt Schilling says that he loves the city of Boston, and its fans. Curt Schilling says he's going to do whatever he can to help his team win. Well, Curt Schilling also eats babies. Live ones. I've seen him do it, and it's disgusting. Root for St. Louis-- because they don't have any baby eaters.


Boston says they want to win the World Series, but if you look at their record over the past 86 years, it's quite clear that Boston is actually AGAINST winning the World Series. How are we supposed to trust a team that says one thing, but then does another? Root for St. Louis-- their record speaks for itself.


Babe Ruth once said, "Without me, the Red Sox will never win another World Series." Honor a dead man's wishes, root for the Cardinals.

those of you who like internet porn (and that's all of you) will appreciate this story...

The Bangbus formula is simple. As the bus -- really, a white rental van -- drives all over the Miami area, Greg Entner, who "performs" under the name Dirty Sanchez, acts as an antagonistic host and narrator who offers money to supposedly unwitting women in exchange for sexual favors. This is all smoke and mirrors, though. Usually, the people having sex are rookie couples or professional models. Once the women are "convinced" to get inside the van, the action starts, but it's not a pool table quickie approach. The actual sex doesn't come until the last ten minutes of the film. The majority of the time is spent suspending disbelief by capitalizing on the assumption that women will do anything for a few dollars.

thanks mac fu...

let's hope for a repeat of '67. i'll be rocking my cards hat.

who likes ping pong?

next week we will have the first annual fredeeky invitational. fredeeky is the prohibative favorite. respect my cat-like quickness and my proclivity for the devastating forehand smash. my game has many influences and i have blended many of the traditional styles into a unique kung pao infused ping pong world view. observe.

don't know why i like this, but i do...

enjoy

here's to the boston fans...

that said that yankee fans were "animals" for throwing stuff on the field.





Mayor Thomas M. Menino, blaming "knuckleheads" for the disorder that led to a death and several injuries after Wednesday's Red Sox victory, said the city is considering "drastic measures," including banning liquor sales, to ensure that World Series crowds do not turn violent.
Menino said he may invoke a state law, never before used in Boston, allowing him to ban the sale or distribution of alcohol "in cases of riot or great public excitement." Menino also said that he will ask bar and restaurant operators today to ban live television coverage during games, because it incites fans.

from the albuquerque journal...

Kim Griffith voted on Thursday— over and over and over.
She went to Valle Del Norte Community Center in Albuquerque, planning to vote for John Kerry. "I pushed his name, but a green check mark appeared before President Bush's name," she said.
She again tried to vote for Kerry, but the screen again said she had voted for Bush. The third time, the screen agreed that her vote should go to Kerry.
Michael Cadigan, president of the Albuquerque City Council, had a similar experience when he voted at City Hall.
"I cast my vote for president. I voted for Kerry and a check mark for Bush appeared," he said.

first thing i did this morning...

was to go to champs and get me one of these:


ah the cardinals. one of the classiest organizations in mlb. you can bet that no st. louis cops killed any fans last night.







also sox fans, the curse ain't over yet. before you people celebrate too hard, remember that the curse is that you haven't won a WORLD SERIES since 1918. jesus i hate all of you. i thought that this would go away, but it's only getting worse.

big daddy has a problem...

Fielder is in hiding, with process servers stalking him. He is not in contact with his family, and many attempts by The Detroit News to reach him failed.
Why?
“Gambling caused Cecil Fielder’s empire to collapse,” said Al Arostegui, the Realtor who sold the Fielders their 50-room palace in Melbourne, Fla., in 1995 for $3.7 million.

so busy today..

maybe that's since i did nothing yesterday.

here's a story i like: hawaii quarterback timmy chang is going to set an n.c.a.a. passing record and nobody seems to care. i think that's cause people aren't ready for an asian qb. hope this guy gets a chance to shine in the n.f.l.



The fifth-year senior from Honolulu needs 559 yards passing against San Jose State on Saturday night to break the NCAA mark of 15,031 yards set by Brigham Young's Ty Detmer in 1988-91.

all i can do now is root for the astros/cardinals...

today is surely one of the bleakest sports days of my career. but before the sox fans start creaming all over themselves i want you to know, it's not the worst. the knicks losses of the 90's were worse because those teams never won titles. (to give you red sox fans some perspective: the knicks hadn't won since the early 70's rather than the early part of the century.) all i know is that if the sox can't win the series this time around it's all worthless. you won a great series against the yanks, but you guys need a title. last year the yankee fan can say he/she doesn't care about winning the series since they beat the sox, but the sox fan (1918) doesn't have that luxury.

also thanks to:
andre the giant (),

sven deezy () and

mayor daly ()for helping me pick myself up by throwing soggies at sox fans on macdougal. further respect to the deezy for engaging in a ping pong infused night cap.

also i want to hope that barry beck ()is feeling better. he took the loss pretty hard last night. we all did, but i think it was toughest for barry because he has no hockey.

my brain just exploded....

this is my last post before game time. i am wildly overstimulated right now and the only thing that can possibly soothe my fevered brain is the tall boy, rum and reef sandal combo. great chatter today. can't believe i ever thought of giving all this up. it's the only thing that kept me from totally losing my marbles today.

cool down time...

my brain and heart are full of hate...

earl,
i was going to make this a comment, but seeing as how you just sent me a stupid mastercard inspired e mail (very original) claiming that a-rod is a cheater, i thought i'd make this it's own post. (this is in response to a comment a couple of posts below.)

first off you talked some serious junk before the series started (I still am looking forward to watching the Red Sox kick some smug, over confident, over paid, Jeeter is a Gay-Salad-Tossing, Yankee ass tonight!) so as for humility, you and your crew ought to shut the f up. secondly the sox have lost in a game seven in last years' alcs, the 86 series, the 67 (i think) series and the 46 series where your beloved ted williams stubbornly went 4-25 with no home runs. so you got that going for you. also when was the last time your team won anything? do you know anyone who was even alive at that point? god, to have you guys lecturing us on humility is just brutal.

i think the hostility comes from the fact that hoards of freaking beaneaters come to new york and do nothing but talk about how great boston is. then why the f are you living in new york? please shut up already and go back to your second rate burg and eat your freaking beans. hey, if the yanks lose tonite new york's still the greatest city in the world, but should the sawx lose, boston's got nothing but the pats (who i'm hoping the jets beat) and f'ing chowder. f yourself, red sox suck, first place yankees, 1918.

as for the teachers union, what planet are you from? didn't the teachers union try to sue the the bush administration for under funding the no child left behind act? isn't the n.e.a. recommending that it's members vote for kerry? (the answer to both is yes.)

(p.s. i seem to disagree with you on everything, but i still like you. that speaks volumes about how charming you can be when you're not chirping about the freaking sawx and w. i think in a couple of weeks we need to have some cocktails and talk about anything other than politics or baseball. until then you and the sawx can suck a barrell full of cawx.)

from page six...

October 20, 2004 -- HUNTER S. Thompson lived up to his legend as the Godfather of Gonzo Journalism the other night at a book signing in West Hollywood. A wobbly Thompson reportedly vomited outside the Book Soup store and signed copies on the floor inside as celebrity pal Benicio del Toro — who starred in the film adaptation of Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" — helped him hold his head up. "Hunter was drinking and smoking and yelling out weird obsenities every once in a while," says our spy. "Good to see the stories are true!"

ah the bleachers...

As predicted here, he was thrown out by the fourth inning. Donahue just couldn't resist throwing the driver's license of a Boston fan onto the field.
Donahue was ejected, and then, in a moment of deliciously twisted justice, the Red Sox fan was ejected, too, for having his license stolen and tossed on the field. Suddenly, Donahue saw himself as some great hero, for taking out the enemy. "I threw myself on the grenade, and saved the whole platoon," Donahue reasoned.

john edwards has real pretty hair...

look at how soft it is.

barry, the n.h.l. is killing itself...

Don't look now, but there's no hockey. The season was supposed to have started last week in Washington and 29 other North American cities. But it didn't. The NHL has vanished. It's disappeared. Gone. Poof. There's no hockey now. There may not be any hockey all season. Who knows when hockey will ever come back? It's like a black hole materialized and sucked in hockey. (Why couldn't this have happened to "Cats?")
Tell the truth:

Have you even noticed?

for christsakes barry, mccreary is selling kitchen cabinets somewhere and all the players are going to europe and the a.h.l.

my brain hurts...

last night was just a debacle. the a-rod fiasco leading seamlessly into the swat team's arrival moving nicely into tony clark striking out to end the game with two runners on. i'm not overly confident in kevin brown, but i also feel that the yanks will be able to solve wakefield tonite and that varitek will again be unable to catch that thing and allow us some movement on the base paths. i'd be lying if a said i wasn't nervous. i am hating the f'ing sawx right now like its my job. i could hear the sox fans outside of off the wagon chirping last night, but then i heard a ruckus/fracas and the chirping mysteriously stopped. what i don't understand, is if these mass holes love boston so much, why did they move to new york? why can't they go back to feverishly eating beans and stopping drinking at 1 in the morning? my hatred for boston is so complete that i don't think i ever want to go back to that shitburg. f the sawx. first place yankees. yanks in seven.

ivory smugglers and handlebar mustaches...perfect together...

MADRAS, India - He was India's most wanted bandit, a brutal smuggler who murdered police officers, slaughtered elephants and kidnapped a movie star. In the end, it took millions of dollars, thousands of security forces and more than three decades to bring him down.

an offering to yankeea..

andre, when i first read your comment, "Please dominate tonight Yankeea," i couldn't help but laugh at your childish typo. but then i thought that maybe you were sending your prayers to some sort of grecian-style yankee goddess named yankeea. then, oddly enough, i got sort of into the idea of a yankee goddess (all of my frat brothers know about the "holy goddess" - i think that may be my first frat reference, respect) so i'm throwing out the following offering to yankeea since i know i can't stomach a game 7 without some serious meds and my chances of obtaining the necessary meds are likely nil.


observe and respect the first place yankees.
