ModernTube: Mr. Redlegs violates the principal rule of mascots
via Big League Stew - MLB - Yahoo! Sports by (author unknown) on May 07, 2008

Yesterday afternoon, Enrico of The 700 Level sent me this story about the Phillie Phanatic, which then caused me to compulsively spend $25 buying this bobblehead off eBay. Now Meech checks in with maybe the funniest clip I've seen this season — Cincinnati's Mr. Redlegs getting decapitated on the warning track during...

hillary clinton: the psycho ex-girlfriend of the democratic party
via WWdN: In Exile by wil@wilwheaton.net (Wil Wheaton) on May 06, 2008
As many of you know, I'm an enthusiastic Barack Obama supporter. I have never been so excited or inspired by a candidate -- or, really, any leader -- in my life, and I view this election as an historical opportunity -- maybe even a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity -- to not only save my country from the disaster wrought by Bush and Cheney, but fundamentally change how my government interacts...

Just Enough PHP To Be Dangerous
via The Cookblog by Brian Cook by Brian on May 06, 2008
I’m no computer programmer, despite how useful it would be to know a programming language or two. Since what I do is almost exclusively online, PHP would make the most sense. As it stands, I have just enough PHP knowledge to be dangerous, which is exactly how I like it. Somehow, when you learn something the ‘right’ way, it stifles a lot of creative tendencies. Maybe it’s because you’re...

The Twi-Nighter: Why can't the Nats fill their best seats?
via Big League Stew - MLB - Yahoo! Sports by (author unknown) on May 04, 2008
Over the first month of the season, I've been amazed whenever I tune into a Nationals home game. Almost without fail, there are scads of empty seats behind the plate, giving the appearance that the new and shiny Nationals Park is about as happening as a House committee on ethanol tax subsidies.Then, about a week ago, I got an explanation from BLS contributor Nick Friedell, who went to D.C....
