Well, I’ve now watched all four Maple Leafs games (Yay Center Ice!), and I have to say, I really like the new rules, even if I don’t feel very good about how the team is playing. Still, they finally got a win tonight, with Tellqvist of all people doing what Ed Belfour could not: protecting [...]

Welcome Back Hockey
Posted in NHL, Sports on October 11, 2005 | 6 Comments »
The Sox look to be in a lot of trouble. Their offense looked exactly like it did in August and September when they where giving back their huge lead in the Central. They couldn’t get hits to keep rallies alive, they couldn’t get hits off the pitcher’s mistakes, and they could not execute their steals [...]
Kevin and I did pretty poorly this week, especially in the early games (where Kevin and I each went 3-6, splitting the two games on which we disagreed), and for the first time all season, the coin beat us both. Kevin remains ahead of the coin — barely — and I hold a 4 game [...]

Happy National Coming-Out Day!
Posted in Culture, General, Politics on October 11, 2005 | 6 Comments »
It’s National Coming-Out Day – a day to encourage gays who have not felt comfortable acknowledging their sexuality to those around them to “come out” and claim their own lives and freedom for themselves. It can be difficult to take the risk of attracting the homophobia that permeates our society – and all the more [...]
John Bolton: From Obstructionism to Mindless Obstructionism – A Growing Embarrassment
Posted in Culture, General, Politics on October 11, 2005 | Comments Off
Cynical Bush UN appointee John Bolton continues his planned deterioration of US relations with the rest of the world. Yesterday he used the US’s Security Council veto to prevent a presentation by a UN envoy on genocidal conditions in the Sudan. Nobody seems to understand why he would do that, and his stated explanation is [...]
Bullies, Real and Imagined

The Bushies are whining that Fitzgerald is a “bully”: The investigation has taken a toll on White House aides, many of whom now fear that the special counsel, Patrick Fitzgerald, is intent on issuing indictments . . . “Fitzgerald’s office, although very professional, has been very aggressive in pursuing people,” the adviser said. “These guys [...]
Adding a couple of literary blogs to the list: Moorish Girl is a fascinating blog by the Moroccan born author Laila Lalami Miss Snark is a very fun and interesting, if sometimes acerbic, blog by a literary agent with a fondness for gin and a probably legally actionable obsession with George Clooney. Agent oo7 is [...]
Do This When I Die
Posted in General on October 11, 2005 | Comments Off
My first wish for after my wish is to be stuffed and kept in someone’s living room. But if I cannot have that, an obituary like this would work, too: Theodore Roosevelt Heller, 88, loving father of Charles (Joann) Heller; dear brother of the late Sonya (the late Jack) Steinberg. Ted was discharged from the [...]
The Suprme Court as Security Blanket
Posted in Culture, Politics on October 11, 2005 | Comments Off
There has been a lot of talk about how the conservatives are furious over Miers because it doesn’t give them a chance to loudly and proudly proclaim their right-wingedness. Kos and Publius have two very good posts on the subject. But I think that something is being overlooked. The right wing isn’t looking so much [...]
