Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Michael Jordan appears to be wearing a suit made out of curtains from a Knight’s Inn motor lodge circa 1975.
OT: This was pretty funny.
Is it just me, or does Bob Baffert look like a villain from Austin Powers? Also, Matt Drudge apparently has a horse in the race.
Gary Stevens looks so tiny sitting next to Tom Hammond that it looks like the Derby is being broadcast by Koko and her kitten.
I almost forgot- Penguins v. the Caps.
BTW- I had a dream last night that new evidence was discovered in the OJ Simpson case and he was innocent.
I think we all know what Glenn Greenwald’s column will be about on Monday.
And yes, I am aware that entire piece was based on the ruminations of anonymous “officials.”
I’ve never actually seen someone review a movie by mercilessly attacking three other films for seven hundred words or so and then briefly mentioning the film in the final paragraph.
Apparently you all like your music, if last night’s thread is any indication. Looking through the comments, I notice that almost no one is savaging my picks, which would lead me to think that at worst, they are ok. However, I do want to note that several albums were mentioned (albums that I even own) that could easily make the list:
The Police- Synchronicity. Not sure if there is another album out there that so totally captures the zeitgeist of the era (is that redundant?).
Beastie Boys- Paul’s Boutique. I think in fifty years, music historians will be on whatever the equivalent is then of NPR/PRI explaining how this album changed everything for rap-hip/hop-sampling.
Fleetwood Mac- Rumors.
I’m sure there are others, and I notice my list is lacking a lot of recent music. Over he past twenty years, I would say the pickings are just very slim. Maybe NWA- Straight Outta Compton or, for a different twist, Dangermouse’s The Grey Album. I guess I would have to think about it.

BTW- my sister’s cat died today, and I will have an obit up later, but pet your furry friend and think of Sid.

Right now, I am of the mind that there are very few albums that in and of themselves are completely perfect. If I had to list them, I would say that they are:
Little Feat: Waiting for Columbus
Yes: Relayer
Frank Zappa: Fillmore East: June 1971
Pink Floyd: Animals
Ben Folds Five: The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner
The Beatles- Abbey Road
I’m sure there are others I would include as being complete and perfect and when I finish listening to them I am drained and content, but these stand out right now. Your mileage may vary, of course, and this is not a complete list, but these are albums that are a part of who I am.
Let the psychoanalysis begin.

OMG- no Velvet Underground, I must have no taste! Die, posers.

Holy shit. I forgot Paul’s Boutique. Shoot me.
I can’t even figure out what I want for dinner, let alone what I am doing this weekend.
