Tomorrow is the big day

Psyched would be an understatement

Alas, I’ve got to be in the office in the early AM, so I’m going to hit the gym (cardio day anyway), then do what I need to then come home to kick off the fun

Sounds like a really cool idea for a day trip around Manhattan:

NYT: Why They Called It the Manhattan Project 

Making a move Thursday…meaning there’s packing to do…and well, I’m a bit on the lazy side when it comes to personal stuff (with work I’m on the ball and super GTD)

Posting will thus be light

Over at Slashdot the idea of a science based presidential debate is floated. 

Interesting idea….

Here’s one question for the candidates…

How would you protect the population against the rising threat of dihydrogen monoxide?

Having watched part of the Giants-Dolphins game at Wmblyh Stadium in London, it’s a given to say that (American) football shouldn’t be played on a groomed soccer pitch.

The lack of traction the players had on the short grass really affected the play of the game.  Nor did the rain help (alas, it’s London in October).  Definitely not a good match.  The conditions made a mess of the game and both teams struggled initially to adjust. Also, in terms of crowd etiquette, it’s not cool to blow whistles during a football game.

Let’s keep American football on this side of the Atlantic…

Bathtub gin has given way to….bathtub cheese No word on its availability at the National Cheese Emporium 

Up that to potential crisis, especially in the middle of Football season:

Beer prices to rise on hops shortage 

Will any of the Presidential candidates be addressing this issue?  Congressional hearings?

(Via Fark where there is real panic)

Looks like she’s officially fallen into the Foggy Bottom mentality

She’s asking Jimmy Carter for help on the MidEast That’s officially a gigantic: FAIL

Oh why on this rainy day, when there is to be a great lineup of college football games, does my cable box decide to go kaput?

Time to trek down to E. 23rd st….sigh…

Too funny…

Al-Qaida angry at Al Jazeera 

James Watson, one of the scientists who uncovered the structure of DNA has retired from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. His loose lips seem to have sunk the scientist.

Hopefully, even in retirement, this great mind won’t totally leave science.

Red tape kept (California) planes/choppers grounded

Sorry about the lack of posting, but I was tied up this evening….

Now to get my self packed for tomorrow

The hyper-liberals at Brandeis are whining again, this time over university President Reinharz’s (correct–imho) decision to arm the campus police.

First there’s the new campus group against having armed police who petitioned President Reinharz. Even the Justice editorial board seems to be carping about the decision 

Oh, just another day in the Brandeis bubble where the gun boogy-man seems to prevail.  Must be a Massachusets thing.

The lamest argument has to be this one from the editorial:

But we admit that there are potentially harmful consequences of having guns on campus, such as the promotion of a culture of fear and anxiety, as well as the possibility of weapon abuse by some officers.

One can only begin to wonder why the Cleveland area unions actually support Dennis Kucinich And people vote for that kook because?

So the big news I’ve been (deliberately) sitting on until now, is that I’m going to be moving into a new apartment soon.

Signed the lease this morning, and it’s a great place.

More details to come (and perhaps some pictures too)

If one is Cleveland sports fan they are used to heartbreak and disappointment. Especially those of us whose childhoods were forever scarred by: The Fumble, The Drive, The Shot, Jose Mesa in ‘97, the departure of the Browns……

Yeah, we’re pre-conditioned to these types of things.

The only plus side of the Tribe being out of things, si that there’s now no reason to have to listen to Joe Buck!

Chavez sends funds to the South Bronx

(Any relation to the rumored gentrification of SoBro?)

Meanwhile, the socialist utopia of Venezuela…well…it’s in the condition that most socialist dictatorships are….

Ladybugs to help eliminate New York pests That’s a very novel approach.  Let’s se    e if it works

What’s happened to the Indians pitching?

Bah…..at least there’s college football to watch tonight.
