2008-08-28 Good and bad promotions, and unnecessary and counterproductive ones, too Mellingers Blog on the Royals and Baseball
The Mexicutioner nickname to me is just silly and sounds like something that belongs in one of those fake sports, like pro wrestling. So, I was happy to vote against it, although the other nicknames on the ballot really werent any better. This and the other Royals promotions are a necessary evil to help them compete in the marketplace. If they keep the casual fan entertained and going to the ballpark, that is a good thing. I remember the last year in K. C. without the major leagues (1968) and I will put up with anything to avoid a recurrence of that. I guess what I dont understand about Guillens response to the heckler last night is why a player of his experience doesnt just ignore it. Certainly he and every other player has heard this stuff many times before at every ballpark. Why isnt he inured to it
Blumenthal thinks Zetia is still a good option for people who need high doses of the lifesaving cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins, including Lipitor, Zocor and Crestor, but wont take them because of side effects.
If the Merck/Schering-Plough drug escapes worries about cancer, there is still the question of whether it works. - Vytorin Roger Blumenthal Heart Disease Cholesterol
Yes, I have followed just the small changes that we have seen go down recently. One of them is that any citizen in Cuba can have a cell phone. That was not allowed up until recentlyand also being able to go in stores and restaurants to purchase goods for your family. Before you could not do that. Even though those are small changesbut really it means a great deal if you look at it under a microscope. How can you have a third world nation 90 miles from the U. S Its absurd and I think these small changes in my opinion are gonna give way to even more democracy in Cuba down the line. More changes will occur and youll see Cuba open up even more.
2008-08-27 Biden looking good for Obama The Daily Times
Biden, of course, is a much different man in a much different time. As chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden knows a great deal about foreign leaders and international affairs. But he is also known to sometimes go too far when offering his opinions, which makes him a loose cannon on one hand, but ideally suited as an attack dog for Obama on the other. And, despite being prone to annoying verbosity -- a trait expected of anyone who has served 34 years as a senator -- Biden has shown total commitment to his partys principles in protecting workers, seniors and the middle class. With just three electoral votes coming from Delaware, Biden cant bring a swing state to the Democrats, but he should help Obama appeal to fellow Roman Catholics and to white, blue-collar voters, especially in his native state of

2008-08-26 DCist: At the DNC, Its Good To Be (Shadow) Senator
Let me preface this by stating Im a Paul Strauss supporter. I met him years ago when he was helping to put on the Fort Reno concert series. He did that for years. He also ran a summer youth program at the same time. While its fun to make fun of people in pictures, its important to give due respect to a man whose been working to get DC voting rights for many, many years. Who on here has done anything to forward DCs cause Paul Strauss deserves to be in Denver. Hes worked for years to get there. No other DC Shadow Senator puts together the political machine and staff that Strauss does for the Districts cause. And he doesnt spend any tax payer dollars doing it. Im willing to bet the staff paid their own way to Denver. Good for them for getting to experience history after working for us for free. Paul Strauss is out

The only substantive items on the menu - apart from that oddly-named "Yili milk" and "President snack noodles", is something called "sandwich/hot dog". The concession stand had one of those rolling hot dog cooking machines, full of nice-looking spiced weiners.
Well, that was good enough for me. A pair of hot dogs and an beer. Good old American stadium food. Youd think.
On the other hand, its amazing how good a naked hot dog can taste when you dont want to try the Yili Milk.

2008-08-25 Daily Freeman-Mike and Mad Dog were entertaining
Reader Noam Kogen is a good example: "I found Mike and the Mad Dog to be a bunch of arrogant, pompous a-holes," says Kogen. "They were rude to callers who dont see things their way and talked down to callers, often abusing them. They were simply put, bad radio and always were that. "
After that Id find myself listening up to Dog and Mike for a few moments: It seemed as if every sports fan did, once in a while. They must have been good because even so revered a magazine as The New Yorker profiled the pair.
According to my trusty, dusty Ouija Board, the period of mourning ends tonight. You would have to agree that 11 days is long enough for us to lament the death of the Mike and the Mad Dog radio show. B
