Ever wonder where these play by play TV sportscasters get their bizarre stats? Are they that desperate for on-air “filler”?
Mind you this isn’t restricted to football either.
Though on the other hand, would it be better if they don’t talk at all?
This time it’s up in Spring Valley, where the local NAACP is suing a private, Jewish own/run medical practice which is closed on Saturdays.
Now this isn’t the only medical provider in the area either. In as much, one can only begin to fathom what basis this suit stands.
Any ideasd are welcome in the comments
Resolved: The Ohio GOP is a party in a state of disarray (and ineffective).
Alas, it could be worse…they could be the NY State GOP.
Sigh…..
Is there really any reason to go to the polls this election day in NYC?
Borat tried to invite the President to the premier of his new movie (obviously with little success)
However, the bigger question is: Does Bush find Borat to be entertaining?
Granted, I’ve yet to taste Tasti-D-Lite (I’m not a big ice cream/fro-yo person), but the new buzz is all about the new Fro-Yo store making its way into Manhattan from LA–Pinkberry
There’s going to be one opening right here near where I live (ironically about 3-4 doors down from a Tasti) so it may at some point be worth a try.
Anyone tried it yet? Care to comment?

There’s a reason this school is nicknamed Beir Zeit on the Hudson
Opinion: Reflecting on Resistance
Here’s some key quotes:
of the al-Aqsa Intifada was not the irrational response of overly sensitive Muslims-it was the logical outcome of years of oppression, false promises, and international indifference. It was a legitimate liberation movement. I mention this history because I believe that recent events compel us to reflect honestly on the nature and legitimacy of armed resistance. It is time we recognize the right to resist…
… Nevertheless, the progress of the war made it clear to me that it was necessary to openly support Hezbollah’s resistance to Israeli aggression….
towards actively and vocally supporting the resistance in the Middle East.
There you have it folks–open calls to support terrorism and the murder of innocent Jews….
Fortunately, there are some members of the Left at Columbia who have their head on straight…Questioning the Anti-War Coalition (worth reading)
More on the story from yesterday on the suspension of Columbia’s club hockey team for flyers containing the word “pussy” which some found “distasteful”
From the campus paper: Captain Cites Inconsistency in Decision Opinion: Overboard with the political correctness Opinion: CU Hockey Suspension is Unfair Decision
And late to this post, comes news that FIRE has taken sides in this case:
Conducting an interview during the days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur…it shouldn’t be suprising to read that a religious Jew like Sen. Joe Lieberman, if he’d forgive someone.
Lieberman on Gore: ‘I can forgive… but I probably won’t forget’…
Afterall, ’tis the season for forgiveness

This was in the Sister’s away message earlier today:
Bring Back Columbia Hockey
As some of you may know there was a small campus controversy over the phrase “Stop being a pussy” [link to flyer] featured on a recent flyer made by the Columbia Men’s Club Ice Hockey Team to recruit new players. The student government complained to the athletic department and the Spec ran an article about it. As of right now, we are being told by the athletic department that we will have to cancel the first half of our season as punishment, removing us from eligibility in the league we play in and crippling the program that we have built up over the past few years. The following is a list of the reasons the heads of the athletic department gave as justification for this punishment:
We did not follow protocol by receiving approval for the flyers before posting them:
To our knowledge, none of the club sports teams were ever aware of a need to approve flyers by the athletic department or have ever received it in the past
Here’s the article in the Columbia Spectator
It sounds like a play on words has upset some hypersensitive college students (The school mascot is a lion-a cat-hence the term “pussy”).
One wonders if say a feminist group of campus decided to use the word “pussy” on a poster, would they get in an equal amount of trouble with the university’s administration?
My guess: probably not. Alas, the double standard of PCism in college.
More Options Likely For [NYC] Cable Market

There’s no better way to celebrate this development than to get a Slurpee…eh?
Two (female) co-workers were talking about assembling furniture today. They started on their usual shpeils about how their significant others don’t like to follow directions when it comes to building things (it started from a discussion about IKEA).
Now, I’ve learned through the years to know when to keep my mouth shut, but in those other situations, what’s the appropriate/best way to reply?
Slashfood: Hospitals are getting healthier food
Anyone whose ever been hospitalized in their life can agree that hospital food, well, in terms of quality, leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to taste.
Pataki opens an office in Iowa
Is the man really that bored that he needs to open an Iowa office? No chance whatsoever in 08 mind you.
The Daily News asks people about their subwaypeeves
Some of mine:
Candy sellers, crazy glue/battery sellers, crazy people begging for money, pathetic musicians (note: some acts are good; others leave a lot to be desired)
Flames + alcohol = larger flames
And no, it’s not the alcohol makers’ fault!
Got back from Youngstown (Grandma’s) this evening.
At the home, doing some tech support (what else?)
Back to the Big Apple tomorrow morning
It’s back to O-H-I-O I go for the weekend!
I’m heading back to Cleveland tomorrow (en route) to Youngstown, to celebrate Rosh Hashanah with the family.
Blogging will be light to non-existant (depending on the availability or lack there of an internet connection at grandma’s). However, good food will be in abundence.
Back to the Big Apple on Monday.
Shanah Tovah To All!
