My hometown Milwaukee Admirals clinched the MacGregor Kilpatrick Trophy, the AHL’s equivalent of the NHL’s President’s Trophy. When I used to live in Milwaukee and go to games (then in the IHL), they were a mediocre team at best, and now they’re the AHL points champs! There’s even a Tennessee connection here, as the Admirals [...]

Wonders Never Cease
Posted in Sports on April 12, 2004 | 5 Comments »
Two games down in the Toronto-Ottawa series, and I’ve noticed something odd: I haven’t really had any major quarrels with the officiating thus far. The refs haven’t followed the recent tendency to swallow their whistles during the playoffs, and are calling penalties, at least in this series, while still mostly avoiding the ticky-tack calls. They’ve [...]
Nebula Nominees
Posted in Writing on April 12, 2004 | Comments Off
2003 SFWA® Nebula Awards® Ballot — Public edition is up, and it includes links to most of the nominated stories. In my opinion, its an uneven list, but there some good pieces available. BTW, if you like SF, you might want to consider subs to some of the magazines. They are all pretty inexpensive, and [...]
The Bush Administration, The Clinton Administration and 9/11
Posted in Politics, Terrorism on April 12, 2004 | 8 Comments »
Thanks to the grandstanding and partisan hand-wringing of the 9/11 Commission, a great deal of ink (virtual and real) has been spent discussing what the Bush Administration knew, when they knew it, and what might have been done to prevent 9/11. Similarly, much has been discussed about whether or not the Clinton Administration did enough [...]
Rapsberry's Radio Faeries
Posted in Politics on April 12, 2004 | Comments Off
Pandagon has a nice take down of William Raspberry’s content-less view of Al Franken’s radio show. Raspberry doesn’t like negativity, and without bothering to actually listen to the show, he knows that Franken is negative, and so is bad. The little radio faeries told him all about the show, I guess. What’s really irritating is [...]
Should We Stay or Should We Go?

MaxSpeak wants to leave Iraq: The solution is simple but difficult. Conditions on the ground in the U.S. in terms of public opinion must change to force all candidates to oppose the continuing occupation of Iraq. Criticism of Bush must be unrelenting, and support for Kerry must be sharpened to repel him from seizing the [...]
Soldiers Badly Used
Posted in Iraq on April 12, 2004 | 3 Comments »
The new meme of the right wing, expressed in its harshest form in this venom filled rant in the New York Post, seems to be that we aren’t tough enough. Apparently, if we just flattened a few cities, everything would be right in the world. This is a replay of the stupid idea that the [...]
