I think Rush tried to warn us about this specifically

News item: WASHINGTON — On Friday, Michelle Obama will begin digging up a patch of White House lawn to plant a vegetable garden, the first since Eleanor Roosevelt’s victory garden in World War II. There will be no beets (the president doesn’t like them) but arugula will make the cut.

No clue who he is, and yet it's anudder Smiff SHTEAL...

Warriors rookie Anthony Morrow followed up Saturday's 37-point eruption with 25 points on 8-of-12 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Blazers. Morrow made 5-of-5 free throws and four three-pointers to go with four rebounds and a steal. He logged 36 minutes and --along with C.J. Watson (10 points, five rebounds, four assists and two steals)-- appears to have a steady 30+ minute role. Congratulations if you were quick enough to scoop him up.

Sorta coincides with a 15 point SURGE in one day for the Zeniths. I've now almost heard of most of my players. Not sure about that Beno guy. Marc Gasol - French Phokk? Also, i think i have someone on the Knicks.

there is slow to catch on, there is Cub fans buying playoff tickets slow to catch on, and then there is Sarah Palin slow to catch on

Audette said that most of the time, he is only able to use "30 to 40 percent of the material" he and Trudel have written for their crank calls before the person they are conning realizes the put on.

"But with Mrs. Palin we got lucky, because we used all the material we had written. At the end, we had to improvise."

can't we just leave that nice Cholly Gibson alone?

David Plouffe (French phokk?), Sen. Obama's campaign manager, said ABC turned in "perhaps the most embarrassing performance by the media in a major presidential debate in years." Then again, what would you expect from a tarrist-coddling French...

No. Wait. It was Editor & Publisher which said that. Sorry.

Obama wanted for crime against humanity

"Obama will invest $150 billion over 10 years to advance the next generation of biofuels and fuel infrastructure..."
-- Obama website

"It is a crime against humanity to convert agricultural productive soil into soil which produces food stuff that will be burned into biofuel."
-- Jean (French phokk?) Ziegler (maybe not French phokk), UN Special Rapporteur (definitely French phokk) on the right to food

tough times for plutocrats (cont'd)

(Crain's) — Mutual Bank has filed a foreclosure lawsuit to collect more than $10.7 meeelllion in construction financing on the Entourage (French phokks?) on American Lane (can't fool me... nice try... they're French phokks), a glitzy bar and restaurant near Woodfield Mall, where cocktails can cost up to $95.

running government like a (French) business

Midway airport is set to become the first major airport in America to be privatised. Chicago has offered a long-term lease on the airport, which could bring in up to $3 billion. Aeroports de Paris, which operates Paris's Charles de Gaulle airport, has expressed an interest in operating Midway. The plan still has to be approved by a group of airlines whose flights account for at least 65% of landings at the airport. The city hopes to finalise a deal by the end of the year.

It appears that Doug's leg is coming along nicely (and his bank account is not), so,

HOT DOUG'S WILL RE-OPEN WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12.

For those of you who didn't know, Doug broke his leg about 3 weeks ago and the restaurant has been closed since. Please be nice to him as he's getting on in years and apparently has quite the brittle construction.

We appreciate your patience during this solemn time of convalescence and look forward to serving you a nice sausage (that's assuming Doug can ween himself off the vicodin).

French won't extradite wanted suspect

The French government has notified U.S. authorities that it will not extradite Hans Peterson, the man who allegedly confessed to killing a downtown dermatologist in 2006.

who's more gutless than the French?

French Canadians.

Tough Bill on Campus Gun Control Likely to Become Law in Quebec
The Quebec government has introduced legislation designed to keep guns — even toy props for theatrical productions — out of schools and off university campuses.

This is, of course, exactly the opposite of what we should be doing: distributing guns to all students on the first day of class. Then every classroom will be safe from scruffy interlopers (Smiff!), and every drunken frat brawl can be brought to swift conclusion at the appropriate level of fiery, bloody, drunken, rampaging-hormone mayhem.

it might have been even earlier

"Nothing that has happened this year has altered my opinion that Piniella lost his mind somewhere around the second year of his tenure in Tampa Bay. I honestly think he does more harm than good at this point."
-- Matthew Pouliot, in his final article for rotoworld.com before his untimely dismemberment.

Plouffe Watch

Double-A New Britain's Trevor Plouffe went 0-for-4 on Monday and is in a 1-for-15 slump.
Maybe the 2004 first-round pick's strong April was just a one-month aberration. He's hit .203/.259/.284 in May, dropping his OPS from 917 to 707. Also, he's been caught stealing five times in nine attempts, making his .306 OBP even worse than it looks.

If he keeps this up he might become unrosterable, even for K-Mad.

"With wine, we can taste climate change," says Gregory V. Jones, a climatologist at Southern Oregon University who is a leading researcher in the burgeoning field of wine-region climate studies. "You can honestly argue that Bordeaux is better off today. They can now consistently ripen their grapes."

something I can't find a reason to hate (yet)

The Ottawa Senators! A Canadian small-market NHL team, doing well in the playoffs. Dis could only be more subversive if day spoke French in Ottawa (d'ough da gubmint does make dem repeat everyding in French, so dat's kinda phokked up...).
