Thursday Open Thread
Hey, how about that weather, huh? It’s something, isn’t it? And that other stuff, too. That’s amazing. Yep, sure is.
I hope that was sufficiently non-confrontational.
Have a good day. If you want to. If not, that’s cool too.

No Way, Nohow, No McCain Open Thread
I got nothing. Actually, I have a lot, but I’m afraid to write it, because it’ll just make a big stink. And I wouldn’t want to do that.
I did break down and watch a little of “the convention” last night. Some animatronic-looking guy with a huge chin, and that guy - Barry Switzer or Albert Schweitzer or whatever his name is, with the funny tie - from Montana (kept thinking it was a Polygrip commercial), and the guy Casey who is apparently the kid of another guy named Casey, and I watched Clinton for a while, but by then it was getting late and I didn’t last long (appreciated her wearing the SU orange, though).

Tuesday Open Thread
I didn’t watch any of the festivities last night (although Michelle Obama is getting very good reviews this morning, despite being scary and, you know, so black and everything, and I caught a clip of Ted Kennedy, which was kind of sad, knowing that he probably won’t be around much longer). So, if you caught the show, what did you think?

Monday Open Thread
So, the big Democratic Dog and Pony Show starts today. To those of you in Denver, you have my sympathy.

Booblehead Thread
It’s a Democrats kinda week this week out there in TV Land.
On Press the Meat, it’s Sweet Caroline Kennedy and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Botox), live from Denver Colorado (apparently there’s some sort of convention going on there this week). Plus a roundtable with PBS’s Gwen Ifill, Newsweek hack Jon Meacham & NBC News’ Chuck “the schmuck” Todd. If you actually want to watch, better check your local listings, ‘cuz the Olympics are still going on. (more…)

Saturday Open Thread
So, it’s Joe Biden. While I’m not Senator MBNA’s biggest fan, I think it’s a pretty good choice, politically. First, Joe was born in Scranton, which is where “The Office” takes place, and I love that show. Second, he’s Irish Catholic, and who can’t resist an Irish Catholic guy? Not only that, but he was born on Nov 20, which makes him a Scorpio. And finally, he’s a Syracuse University Law School alum, which means he’s got an in with 90% of all sportscasters out there.

Friday Open Thread
So, another week comes to an end. Big announcement coming at 3:00. I don’t know as I’ll be able to “tune in,” so hopefully somebody will be able to update us. Especially if it’s really something “big.” Otherwise, I just wanna get this week over with.

Thursday Open Thread
Today is the opening day of the NY State Fair, which is a fairly big deal here (though nowhere else, I know). To me, it mostly means the beginning of the end of summer, as the Fair ends on Labor Day. After that, the days seem to start getting shorter much faster (which I’m sure isn’t the case, but it seems that way). Other than that, I love the fall, with the cool days, crisp nights, and clear blue skies offset by the red, yellow and orange leaves on the trees. September also means football, of course. That’s not been a lot of fun in these parts lately, but hope springs eternal, and we haven’t lost any games yet. So, who knows. Maybe things will start looking up.

Wednesday Open Thread
I read a lot of HD forums for DirecTV, and one thing continues to astound me. People keep clamoring to get Fox News in HD. What are they freakin’ kidding me? I’ll watch just about anything in HD but Fux News? I think Bill O’Reilly’s big fat blotchy fucking head in HD would make my teevee explode. Just when I start to think there’s hope for the morons in this country, they go and lower my expectations all over again. (more…)

Tuesday Open Thread
I’ve learned a lot over the years watching TV cop shows. First, if you ever do anything (even if you don’t), lawyer up right away, or they’ll screw you over. And never believe anything they tell you when they interrogate you; they’re full of shit. Also, prepare to get a beatin’ if you’re in a David Milch precinct. If you’re in a Dick Wolf precinct, they’ll play by the rules, so you’re all set. Most of all, though, all female cops are gorgeous. Especially the detectives. (more…)
