So, what's your porn name
"I was always told the way to get your pornstar name was to take the name of your first pet and the name of the first streen you lived on. the pet's name being your first name and the street name being your last name..as such my would be "jody woodway" and i'm trademarking it right now so if I see it lawsuits will follow....:-P"
I believe that makes me "Sandy Meadow". If you have a really good one, you can submit it here

And: DARIN ERSTAD'S ANKLE IS TURNING THE CORNER!
Darin Erstad said Thursday that his injured ankle is "starting to turn the corner," but no timetable for his recovery has been laid out yet. "But like I said, you have another setback, and it's not looking real good,'' Erstad said. ''We are going to make sure it's right. Hopefully on this road trip sometime, I'll get out of here and go play some games.''
Breaking: KERRY WOOD HAS A BOUNCE IN HIS STEP!
Kerry Wood (arm) is expected to throw in a Rookie League game at Mesa, Ariz. in the next few days.
"Get his feet wet," general manager Jim Hendry said. "And if that goes well, we'll continue with his rehab program the next couple of weeks. … Let's be guardedly optimistic. We've all been down this path before, but when he left here the last homestand, he had a little bounce in his step, and he has thrown well in Arizona since he left here." Wood could join the Cubs' bullpen in early August if his rehab continues to go smoothly. Also expect to see flying monkeys invade Wrigley Field...

something for the President to consider...
The Pittsburgh Public Schools, noting that low student achievement has hurt the image of public schools, announced it will confront the problem by dropping the word "Public" from its name and becoming the Pittsburgh Schools.

Let's say I break into your house
A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials in ages!!! It explains things better than all the baloney you hear on TV.
Her point:
Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.
Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely. Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests. Let's say I break into your house.Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave. But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors. I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-workingand honest (except for when I broke into your house).
According to the protesters:
You are Required to let me stay in your house
You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan
You are Required to Ed ucate my kids
You are Required to Provide other benefits to me & to my family (my husband will do all of your yard work becausehe is also hard-working and honest , except for that breaking in part).
If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there.
It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm a hard-working and honest, person, excep t for well, you know, I did break into your house And what a deal it is for me!!!
I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.
Oh yeah, I DEMAND that you to learn MY LANGUAGE!!! so you can communicate with me.
Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?! Only in America if you agree, pass it on (in English). Share it if you see the value of it.
If not blow it off......... along with your future Social Security funds, and a lot of other things.

Mets designated first baseman Julio Franco for assignment.
Franco could muster just one extra-base hit while batting .200 in 50 at-bats this season. If it came down to him or Sandy Alomar Jr., Franco should have stuck around. However, Alomar also figures to go at some point and Franco wasn't happy with such a limited role anyway. He'll try to catch on with another team and continue his quest to play until age 50.

Senator seeks to increase FCC’s profanity power
Senator and presidential candidate Sam Brownback (R-Kans.)—who helped get the FCC’s indecency fines increased tenfold in 2006—said he will offer two amendments to a general government appropriations bill July 12, one that would “continue support for the FCC to fine broadcasters who air indecent, profane, or obscene content,” and another that would “fine broadcasters for airing excessively violent content during the hours when children are most likely to be in the audience.”...Broadcasting & Cable, July 10

Even if the Democrats win the White House and hold the Senate, the court's demographics are likely to trump politics. The average age of the four more liberal justices is 74; the five conservatives average a youthful (for federal judges) 61, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. the youngest at 52.

Leaker invokes Libby commutation in plea for leniency
SARA CISCO — An attorney who admitted leaking the confidential grand jury testimony of slugger Barry Bonds to the media asked a federal judge for leniency Tuesday, noting that President Bush commuted I. Lewis "Scooter" "Stooge" "Fall Guy" "Not Dick 'Dick' (Dick) Dick" "Wrong Guy" Libby's prison sentence for a similar crime.
In doing so, Troy Ellerman joins a growing a list of defendants across the country who have made the same arguments for leniency since Bush said the former vice presidential aide's 2½-year sentence for leaking the name of a CIA operative was too harsh and commuted it to probation and a fine.
...
Ellerman was a successful Sacramento attorney (in udder werds, not one of those minorities who belongs in prison) when Victor Conte, founder of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, hired him following the raid on the Burlingame nutritional supplements lab, as part of the government probe.
Ellerman pleaded guilty to four felony counts of obstruction of justice and related charges in February.
His lawyer, Scott Tedmon, urged the judge to consider Libby's commutation when he sentences Ellerman on Thursday.
"As with Mr. Libby, Troy Ellerman is a (white lawyer type) first-time offender with (white lawyer type) years of exceptional work as an (white lawyer type) attorney in both the (white) public and (lawyer) private sectors," Tedmon argued in the court filing... (you know, he's just like you and me... it would be like sending one of us to prison...)
Tedmon noted that Libby and Ellerman were both convicted of leaking confidential information to reporters and then lying to investigators.
But he said there was one dramatic difference between their cases: "Mr. Libby's conduct involved matters of national security, while Mr. Ellerman's conduct has no nexus to national security." (Sounds like dis Tedman feller is really starting to hate freedom...)
Tedmon said in an interview Tuesday that both men have suffered embarrassment... (well then... isn't that punishment enough?)

There is not much other dog news to report, except for a dog nursing a stray kitten in Victoria, Texas.

New Pompous Asshole Magazine To Compete With Cigar Aficionado
NEW YORK—Upscale consumers who enjoy cigars, wine, and "all the finer things in life" will have a new magazine to enjoy beginning next month when Pompous Asshole hits the stands. Targeted at the 23- to 60-year-old pompous-asshole demographic, the new monthly magazine is expected to compete directly with Cigar Aficionado for advertising dollars. "Pompous Asshole is the magazine of the good life," said publisher Paul Westman, "And, unlike Cigar Aficionado, we truly cover it all: From tips on choosing the right humidor to advice on where to gamble in Monte Carlo to the lowdown on the new Jaguar XJ8, Pompous Asshole is the magazine no rich prick can afford to be without."

But this was surely to set in motion a presidential commutation for a man who served his country and was charged with no other crime than lying.

Santorum criticizes GOP senators' Iraq revolt
Former GOP senator Rick Santorum believes his staunch defense of the Iraq War helped lead to his defeat. But he still believes U.S. troops need to continue the fight.
Funny, funny stuff:
After losing his seat last fall, Santorum became a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a Washington think tank dedicated to applying “Judeo-Christian moral tradition to critical issues of public policy.” Which means: invade and bomb countries back to the phokking stone age.
And, praise Jesus, we have this to look forward to:
He’s also writing a book on radical Islam and global terrorism.

He will be missed.
Erik Bedard struck out 15 in a two-hit shutout of the Rangers on Saturday.
So much for the dead arm. Bedard blew right through the Texas lineup three times tonight, facing the minimum 27 batters. He gave up singles to Desi Relaford and Sammy Sosa, only to erase both runners on double plays. The 15 strikeouts tied a the Orioles' franchise record and bested his previous high by three. He currently leads the majors with 149 strikeouts.

Weekly’s use of “F” word irks Missouri patron
St. Louis area resident Richard Greathouse has called for Jefferson County (Mo.) Public Library to remove the free weekly Riverfront Times newspaper from distribution there. Greathouse saw the paper while he took his 13-year-old son to the library’s Northwest branch to research birds, and complained to Library Director Pam Klipsch. “The content of this thing really upset me,” Greathouse said. “They use the ‘F’ word in there.”

So you score 14 runs...and lose by 6? I expect to see Breaking News tonight that Ozzie Guillen has taken his own life, after murdering most of his pitching staff. Really, why hasn't he killed himself yet, like a real man? What is he waiting for? Might he be all talk, no action?

Diamondbacks optioned outfielder Carlos Quentin to Triple-A Tucson.
This probably should have been done a couple of months ago. Quentin is going to be a fine long-term regular, but it wasn't happening now, perhaps because of the shoulder he injured in spring training. He was hitting just .210/.299/.350 with five homers and 28 RBI in 200 at-bats.

The John Hopkins University
What a piece of shit.
Fouad Ajami, a professor (and he has won prizes! They love to give each other prizes!) at the esteemed university I once thought seriously of attending, has written a piece for the Wall Street Journal attracting some attention in which he says of Bush's approach to morality: "the one defining mark of [his] moral outlook is the distinction [he is able to make(?)] between friend and foe," which really only illuminates how difficult it is to find something nice to say about Bush. Being able to tell the difference between friend and foe is something we expect of our five year olds, something we hope our presidents have managed long ago. As well, the action of marking friend and foe is only the beginning of a process to determine proper action and context of action for the self. In the Bush presidency, marking friend and marking foe involves a process that has typically led to great corruption and great heartache. We are not talking about Churchill here. Instead we are talking of roses for politically connected corporations and endless ache for others.
Now Ajami was writing this piece earlier and calling for Bush to pardon Libby. His piece, pedantic, insipid and superficial, went beyond straining the bonds of credulity however and entered the realms of the insultingly delusional. He wrote:
How does one have the audacity or just the sheer stupidity to compare Scooter Libby to a soldier right now? How is he comparable? When soldiers in Iraq fall are they wearing custom tailored suits while being advised on their movements by lawyers who bill thousands of dollars an hour? Is the consequence of their falling an easy stretch in a minimum security jail? In another tack, was it a war that the White House was fighting in order to convince the American public that attacking a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 or any terrorism directed against the United States was the right move to make even as we invaded another more culpable foe? If it was then war, then are we accusing the Bush presidency, by application of this logic, of bringing civil war to the United States? An odd and idiotic defense of the indefensible.
Getting caught up in this part of his article is to miss the point elsewhere that this fool who has a koosh job in a comfortable university (a university started in much more a spirit of challenging established authorities when it was begun about 130 years ago which has clearly lost its way on that score) believes that Libby has sacrificed something out of a nobility of spirit in choosing to reveal the identity of a secret United States agent and obstruct the justice of the United States in the pursuit of a flawed and tragic policy that has not revealed anything of any nobility at all, but has just allowed the rotten fruits of this administration to smell more strongly in the light of the larger stage of war than they would have if Bush was simply giving the environment away (another thing he excels at).
Why do we suffer these fools so docilely?
How does Professor Ajami have a job when he so publicly reveals not just his ignorance, but an appalling lack of reason, intelligence or any sense whatsoever of a political philosophy that contains insight, distinction or foresight? He is an apologist. A flunky. Increasingly, our system of higher education rewards morons like this while the more original thinkers are included out of a process out of fear that those more original thinkers will reveal these flunkies for what they are: dangerous fools with no more right to pontificate and teach than the dogs they resemble.
So a big "Go Fuck Yourself" to The John Hopkins University and the lapdogs they hire for this pathetic and dangerous administration.

In "The Soldier's Creed," there is a particularly compelling principle: "I will never leave a fallen comrade." This is a cherished belief, and it has been so since soldiers and chroniclers and philosophers thought about wars and great, common endeavors. Across time and space, cultures, each in its own way, have given voice to this most basic of beliefs. They have done it, we know, to give heart to those who embark on a common mission, to give them confidence that they will not be given up under duress. A process that yields up Scooter Libby to a zealous prosecutor is justice gone awry.

world's least effective stimulant has been found
MLB announced Friday that Neifi Perez has been suspended for 25 games after testing positive for a banned stimulant.
The suspension is effective immediately and it sounds like the Tigers may call up Ryan Raburn to take his place on the roster. Losing Perez isn't much of a blow to the Tigers given that he's hitting .172 with a .487 OPS. Raburn, 26, is hitting .292 with solid power and speed at Triple-A.

s#i+ blowing up
White Sox recalled RHP Gavin Floyd from Triple-A Charlotte.
He replaces David Aardsma on the roster. The White Sox were leaning towards starting Nick Masset in one of the games of the doubleheader Friday, but Floyd will get the nod instead. He's the top candidate for a permanent rotation spot later on when the White Sox deal one of their starting pitchers.

hmmm, i wonder who's to blame here....
Marlins placed RHP Josh Johnson on the 15-day disabled list with a right forearm strain.
Johnson figures to miss at least a few weeks after his latest setback. The Marlins really needed him back at 100 percent in order to make a run in the second half of the season.

No one is listed as playing Lou Piniella, and though he is a bit old i would go with Mark Ruffalo in fiery-mode.

American wins hot-dog eating contest
In a gut-busting showdown that combined drama, daring and indigestion, Joey Chestnut emerged Wednesday as the world's hot dog eating champion, knocking off six-time titlist Takeru Kobayashi in a rousing triumph.
Chestnut, the great red, white and blue hope in the annual Fourth of July competition, broke his own world record by inhaling 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes — a staggering one every 10.9 seconds before a screaming crowd in Coney Island.
"If I needed to eat another one right now, I could," the 23-year-old Californian said after receiving the mustard yellow belt emblematic of hot dog eating supremacy.
Chestnut won in a bun-zer beating performance against Kobayashi, the Japanese eating machine who recently had a wisdom tooth extracted and received chiropractic treatment due to a sore jaw. But the winner of every Nathan's hot dog competition since 2001 showed no ill effects as he stayed with Chestnut frank-for-frank until the very end of the 12-minute competition.
Kobayashi finished with 63 HDBs — hot dogs and buns eaten — in his best performance ever. His previous high in the annual competition was 53 1/2. The all-time record before Wednesday's remarkable contest was Chestnut's 59 1/2, set just last month.
The two gustatory gladiators quickly distanced themselves from the rest of the 17 competitors, processing more beef than a slaughterhouse within the first few minutes. The two had each downed 60 hot dogs with 60 seconds to go when Chestnut — the veins on his forehead extended — put away the final franks to end Kobayashi's reign.

Special Weather Statement Issued by the National Weather Service at 5:30 PM PDT on July 2, 2007
... The hottest weather so far this year over the Independence day Holiday...We're All DOOMED.
A HYOOGE upper level high pressure system over the Great Basin will bring very hot weather through Friday. The hottest days will be Wednesday and Thursday when many new record highs may be established.
High temperature forecasts for Wednesday and Thursday...
Beaches... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..75 to 80
beaches to 5 miles inland... ... ... ..80 to 85
5 to 10 miles inland... ... ... ... ... .85 to 90
western inland valleys... ... ... ... ..90 to 98
eastern inland valleys... ... ... ... ..98 to 110
Foothills and mtns below 6000 feet..98 to 110
mountains above 6000 feet... ... ... ..90 to 100
high deserts... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 107 to 117
lower deserts... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..115 to 123
Even the coastal zones will feel some of the effects of this heat wave. Although the cooling influences of a shallow marine layer and onshore ocean breezes will keep temperatures in the 70s to near 80 at the immediate coast... just 5 to 10 miles inland the high temperatures will reach close to 90 degrees. Suckers!
Holiday revelers (Drunks) celebrating the Independence day Holiday with outdoor activities should take precautions to avoid heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Drink plenty of water... wear light colored loose fitting clothing... and take advantage of shaded areas and air conditioned buildings. Smiff plans to go to a nude beach...
This is a potentially dangerous fire situation (otherwise known as fire). The combination of extreme heat and very low humidities will elevate the fire hazard to critical levels. Unattended campfires... smoldering cigarettes cast into tinder dry brush... and Sparks from fireworks could ignite more fires. So if you plan to smoke, please get a fast-acting cancer and die ASAP...
