Some Good Guitaring...

as an old friend used to say...




Son House, Paul Butterfield and Mike Bloomfield.

Presser Blogging..

Forgot to mention that Bush in an answer to a question about Telco immunity said that companies were LED to believe what they were doing was legal....

To paraphase Animal House...."Hey, you fucked up...you trusted us...."

Shrubby...

had a presser this AM and it still amazes me what a dunce that man is. The Q&A followed a predictable path....listen to question, babble, lie, smirk inappropriately, shrug and then pat self on back like you really nailed it.

Notable was the idea that he hadn't heard that gas might be going to $4/gallon...HADN'T HEARD IT....nice.

Asked about what hope he might give to working Americans worried about the economic problems they are faced with....Bush offered up making the tax cuts permanent....which are set to expire in a few YEARS. Yup, that oughta provide plenty of hope and comfort knowing that rich folks won't have worry about paying more taxes years from now.

Big Sunday in Manhattan..

15 foot waves in Manhattan Beach, CA prompted lifeguards and police to close the concrete pier yesterday minutes after these pictures were taken. A camera phone just doesn't do justice to the immense power the breakers create. The Pier was shaking and whitewater spraying over the railings.....just breathtaking and inimidating...very, very cool.

OK...I hope..

that fart wasn't a shart about "this big" ...Leeber!

Baseball Blogging...

Finally! Pitchers and catchers have arrived to spring training..It won't be long now before the crack of the bats fills the air in FL and AZ....just wish I was going for a spell.

Punditry I'd pay to see...

is someone taking that ridiculous white board from Russert and smacking him upside the head. That is an opinion worth something.
