Spring Training Countdown..


14 days and yeah..counting...


BTW, Yanks sign local surfer dude Morgan Ensberg from Hermosa Beach to minor league deal. Nice to see him hook on but what the F? I thought Dougie Manckavitzxchwitz was just as good. Maybe the scoreboard guy was involved in the decision.

W Blogging...

W's speech last night was widely panned although that can hardly be considered news...I do get a kick out of some of the media who still get worked up about him as if he was still relevant....I wish I had the chance to sell something to those Bozos.

Oh Yeah, one more way that Bush fucks things up for people....he is scheduled to speak at the Robinson Helicopter factory which is about a block from my office. I'm sure traffic will be fine and no one will inconvenienced by the Worst Ever.

Roly Poly Blogging.

For anyone who hasn't seen the John Stewart eviseration of Jonah "Doughboy" Goldberg on the Daily Show...I strongly urge that you watch the incredibly doughy boy get even dough-ier under the pretty easy questions.....when you are intellectually bankrupt and clearly too stupid make the case for your own thesis...it's good fun man.

If You Run...


a publicly traded corporation it matters not whether that enterprise is successful when it comes to compensation...B of A to whom I owe a few bucks myself is pretty liberal with the golden parachutes. Of course the stockholders , who Mozzillo wouldn't piss on if they were on fire, will get screwed...because, let's face it, someone has to...

Kahuna Blogging...

This Just in...

Washington Redskins lose to Seattle Seahawks......that is probably excellent news for John McCain...

Or so I'm sure we'll be led to believe at some point.

Huck's Man Norris..

is known to be a bit of local dipshit in SoCal but the wifey's sudden interest in all things political seems to be at odds with the late night infomercials we are more accustomed to...maybe she is the foreign affairs consultant that has given the Huckster the bonfides those meticulous republican Iowan's demand of a candidate?...All's I know is that if you look at Hucker's post win speech (which I guess was not in Iowa)..the Norris's gave great "head nods" behind the podium with each new christiancodewordyoucantunderstandunlessyouarebatshitcrazyalready utterance that Huck could muster.

Let's make something perfectly clear...if some weird thing happens and Huck and his new Norris friends become leaders...I'm moving out of the country. I'll be done if that is the future.

Who's Up...

For some Grateful Dead doing "Desolation Row"....I am.

PS...you need to just click on the song you like on the right side...my rec was the Dylan tune but there is a treasure trove here....enjoy.

Massive Storm is...

hitting most of CA today and overnight. In the High Sierra Donner Pass, forcasts are for up to 10 feet of snow and wind gusts up to 140 MPH..think about that for a minute...whoa.


Many road closures expected so I guess some folks will have to hunker down. Here's hoping they have some nuts stored for winter otherwise some menu items might be a bit gamey if you know what I mean. They're kinda known for it in those parts though....no biggie.

The Iowa Results...

are in and they are not pretty for a certain former NYC mayor. I don't know why the people of tiny Iowa are held up as the crystal ball gazers that will point the country in the right direction to elect a president but they apparently hate Rudy's guts. At this point he would be lucky to garner 5% support...in other words, he's toast. Hilarious.
