Not yet to the half way point!

Me THREE!!!

No, it won't change who he is... nor will it change who he is NOT. Two words for you: COPING and STRATEGY... it's going to be just fine, even for you.

It's a good start! :)

I did not... but YOU misspelled two out of three of them... You could take a lesson in graciousness from Sen. McCain.

Early and OFTEN!

Joe Scarborough at Huffington Post Florida resident Joe Scarborough talked about Barack Obama's incredible get-out-the-vote initiatives in his home state, replicated nationwide, with David Gregory on election night at 5:30 pm. Quoting a top Republican official in Florida he spoke with last Friday, Scarborough said, "Forget about it. The race is over. Barack Obama won it and he won it early." He added that Obama's 7-week campaign to get-out-the-vote buried any attempts by McCain to win with a 1976-style 72-hour effort. --- Obviously, that's not any kind of official declaration, but it probably won't be long before it becomes official. I concur.

Nov 4 was also the birthday of my friend, the late J Fred Wilson... God rest his soul.

I dunno... that's an intriguing scenario for Manny, with the Angels, but I can see him wanting to stick it to the Red Sox by donning the pinstripes... He'd make NY be laid back... :) You might be onto something there! ! ! MLB IS, after all, AMERICA'S GAME. And if it's good enough for MLB, it should be good enough for the good ol' U S of A, right?

kind of an extended mardi gras... I first learned about this while watching Cold Case on CBS a year or so ago...

Yeah... and after you DISSed me in the politics forum this morning! :)

With regular/frequent lessons from our resident umpire, we might get there! :)

Yeah... Bud earns that. Who better to give it to him, eh? And depending on what day pitchers and catchers report, it's roughly 110 days until mid-February 2009.

I agree wit you on those two points! It is FINISHED. The 2008 MLB season is HISTORY. How many days until pitchers and catchers report?

mid 80s here as I type this... and I don't get the "pep talk" until 7pm mountain time... about an hour and a half from now...

If I did THAT, I'd have to remove the strikethrough from the word "about." Which would, in no way, be demeaning to Simon. Apparently, they are going to attempt to finish game 5 tonight.

If you think Simon's been hiding that he's a smart person, I would disagree... he doesn't hide it, but he doesn't go out of his way to disclose it either... He's about the smartest non-college (other than the Way College) educated guy I know.
