Is half a Who better than none? I’m thinking no, but then maybe it’s just ‘cuz it seemed really odd to see Pete and what’s his face reduced to doing a “medley” (not to mention there’s something kinda pathetic about a couple of pensioners singing about “teenage” anything). What’s next? Vegas? Or maybe Roger Daltrey will cut an album of duets with Sarah McLachlan. Otherwise, though, it was a very entertaining football game, though I’d have appreciated it if they’d started (and ended) a little bit earlier. I skipped through all the commercials ’til I caught up to real time toward the end. I saw one commercial that I thought was pretty funny, though. It was something to do with a guy joining a woman’s book club, and one woman asks the guy, “so, do you like Little Women?” And he says, “yeah, I’m not fussy.”
What is it with New York’s Governors? The latest speculation is that Gov David Paterson will resign as soon as a NY Times story on some sort of sex scandal runs. Rumors I’ve heard are that Paterson and his wife are “swingers,” which, believe it or not, is a class B misdemeanor in NYS (not the swinging, per se, but the adultery part), punishable by a $500 fine or 90 days in jail. I think we’ve finally found a way to wipe out our deficit. If Paterson goes, I want Spitzer back. And please, sweet Jeebus, let there be no sex tape.
House Democrats have cranked out a pretty interesting chart detailing the job losses during this and the previous administration.
Republicans immediately responded with a chart of their own.
The liberal media dutifully reported that there was a dispute between Republicans and Democrats over which administration oversaw more job losses.
Oh well, seeing as I’m not one of those who lost their job (yet), I reckon I’d better go to work. If both weekend days combined would only last half as long as one work day, I’d be happy. At least I didn’t have to shovel anything.
This was a surprise.
“Don’t go to Canada Travis go to New Zealand, they love people like you there.”
I just read that Charlie Rangel and some other Harlem politicians were discussing Paterson. Up to this point they have been in support, but now fear that a governor will be elected without any help from them and therefore owe them nothing.
Perhaps this discussion was necessary because of the scandal that is supposedly brewing.
Jack Murtha croaked.
I thought this one sucked.
Peyton Manning, self-identifying republican and NFL choke artist, didn’t even possess enough class to shake Drew Bress’ hand (or to even stay til the game was over)

I thought the Who didn’t suck as much as I thought they would but still, they sucked.
I’m just guessing that the mostly younger demographic watching were wondering “Who” the fuck are these old guys?
Townsend can’t sing at all (can’t hear himself) and Daltry’s voice is shot. Don’t they both have enough money without embarrassing themselves?
Please, Beyonce next year :hubba:
Cool that sj saw the Olympic Torch! :cake: (<= torch of sorts)
I liked the Google commercial.
Bummer about Murtha…one tough Marine.
“Do you want to build bombs?”
“F••• no! Why would I want to build bombs, huh?”
“We know, we know. We just thought we’d ask. You want to take them apart, right?”
