Acting President Cheney

Is it just me or did anyone else read this and think that real life was imitating a major plot point from the last season of 24?

"The Modernist Society is a celebration of multidisciplinary hedonistic individuals," founder Jason Mojica explains by e-mail. "We mix business with pleasure. We combine brain-stimulating activities with brain-destroying ones. Our evening is for people who are, for all intents and purposes, extraordinary nerds who are just as comfortable quoting Jung as showing a little skin and dancing their ass off."

Big city vs. small town

Emergency in New York City, where my sister lived until a few months ago: a steam pipe exploding.

Emergency in Brattleboro, Vt., where she lives now: naked people.

Poll Results Are In -- Red Sox to Run Away with It!

Prior to the All-Star break, I think I would have agreed with this statement, but I'm not so sure anymore. The Yanks are now 48-44, have won 5 in a row and sit just 7 back in the AL East. They play something like their first 28 games after the All-Star break against teams that are under .500 for the season, and have 6 games with Boston over the last month or so of the season. It pains me to say it, but I think this one ends up closer than the PH4H experts think, with the Yankees edging closer over July and August before battling it out with Boston down the stretch.

MY PREDICTION: A-Rod far surpasses 500 homeruns (won't be too hard for him to get to 500, but can we say 520 by season's end?) this season and wins the MVP when the Yankees overtake Boston in the AL East and head into the playoffs as the hottest team in baseball.

I think I'm going to vomit . . .

Franco's career continues!

Jason speculated the other day that 48 year old Julio Franco's career may be over....

But it's not. He has signed with the Braves.
