Cubs Win!

Whew.

I don't think I sat down for the final 2 innings.

My heart rate was at a speed work level, making me consider hooking up the heart rate monitor.

3 more like this and I'll need a vacation.

Did I mention that Christopher will be a very happy boy when he wakes up tomorrow morning?

Cubs Win!

Dempster is the stopper of losing streaks, and Fontenot is little Babe Ruth (courtesy of Ron Santo).

We needed this one, especially since the Padres and Giants suck.

We also need to start a good winning streak since the Cardinals and Brewers are playing each other next week.

McCain.

Could some brave member of the media ask him about this statement?

Agony

So my victory beer all of the sudden turns into an agony of defeat beer.

At least it's good beer.

Still hurts though, but that's baseball.

Cubs Win!

Great outing by Z and just enough offense.

I'll take it.

Understatement of the year: We needed that one.

Let's get another one tomorrow.

Why Our Media Sucks (Still)

In fact, most of the political press, as Josh says, are incorrigible morons. Unfortunately, a too large portion of the American electorate still relies on these morons.
For the McCain campaign to put out a memo to reporters claiming that Obama has adopted McCain's policy only shows that his advisors believe that a sizable percentage of the political press is made up of incorrigible morons. And it's hard to disagree with the judgment.

The simple truth is that this campaign offers a very clear cut choice on Iraq. One candidate believes that the US occupation of Iraq is the solution; the other thinks it's the problem. John McCain supports the permanent deployment of US troops in Iraq. That is why his hundred years remark isn't some gotcha line. It's a clear statement of his policy. Obama supports a deliberate and orderly withdrawal of US forces from Iraq. It's a completely different view of America's role in the world and future in the Middle East. Reporters who can't grasp what Obama is saying seem simply to have been permanently befuddled by George W. Bush's game-playing over delegating policy to commanders.
I really can't think of a better way to describe them. It does make me sad though, that we don't have reporters with brains. Are they all really that desperate to get invite to St. John McCain's barbeques?

Deep Thoughts of the Day

I love Firkin.

I miss Pearl Jam.

I will be seeing Obama and Tweedy at Park West in 8 days.

I will be buying tickets for Eddie Vedder on Monday.

This makes me very happy.
