Manny Please stay away from Dr. Conrad Murray
What the Ef is up with Sammy Sosa!? Sammy we saw how this ends! "This is it." Apparently he's having a "skin rejuvenation treatment."
Instead of mumbling angst
This is what Where the Wild Things Are should have been channeling.
Renata Adler on The Monster:
"Cookie is a fanatic, undeviating in the quality of his obsession. He eats things. Many lessons on Sesame Street are terminated when something eats them. But Cookie, who has of late been eating mainly cookies, is a junkie. "To me, your nose is a cookie," he once said to another Muppet in a desperate moment. When cookies arrive, he tends to eat the entire shipment, but he is moved to empathy at the sight of a human being temporarily deprived of a cookie."
Spike Jonez take note. Click the link for the real prize.

Womens College Soccer: More badass than UFC
This is perhaps the most fiercely contested sporting event I've ever seen.
This is for you Mattie
I too was interested to see how the pugs dressed up this year, so I went and yoinked this off of facebook.

Wedding Present!
For all the couples out there. I ran across this doing yoga research. Put all reports from the field in the comments section.
Also a gem of a headline:

And Now We Know How Truly Doomed the Mets Really Were
If your GM has it in him to actively cheat on his wife with a girl like this, your team is not going to win championships.
(I know the article says he's taking a leave from ESPN, and that he has since been fired...this article had the most gorey details, though.)

underdogs
elections are coming!
from the 2009 voter guide, the candidates in their own words
1. Maura DeLuca, running for Public Advocate:
What is the most important issue in the city you would address if elected?
Today millions are being thrown out of work as the capitalist rulers seek to make working people pay for the crisis of their system. The ruling class is launching a frontal assault on our basic living conditions, from jobs and wages to pensions, health care, housing and essential services. Working people need to answer these attacks. Only through a working class revolution to take power out of the hands of the exploiters and war makers can we then begin to reorganize the economy and all social relations, from top to bottom, in the interests of workers and farmers.
2. Jimmy McMillan, running for Mayor:
What is the most important issue in the city you would address if elected?Rent Is Too Damn High Rent-Freeze-Rent-Reduction-Rent Roll back. (People must have money to spent.) Our plan will create 3 to 6 Million Jobs that will generate a 3 to 6 Billion Dollar surplus. Do the math an estimated 10 Million New Yorkers of Brooklyn, Bronx, Staten Island, Manhattan, and Queens will no longer have to put up with being harass by "Landlord(s)" again. Not only the Bailout and Stimulus will give us the opportunity to lower rent. Landlords with Violations, Failed to Register building(s), and Other...gives us another reason to lower rent. The party is over. Rent Is Too Damn High.
3. David Casavis, running for Manhattan Borough President:
What other important issues would you address if elected?
Instead of eliminating this highly paid job, politicians added perks to it. This is like hanging ornaments on a dead Christmas tree. The tree is dead. It has been dead for 20 years. Our City is cutting budgets and employees. It is far better that voters eliminate politicians, than politicians eliminate voters.
