DIARY

Sumara tagged me for the following meme:

List 5 weird things about yourself or your pets. Tag 5 friends and list them. Those people then need to write on their blogs about 5 weird things, and state the rules, and tag 5 more people.

Blue Skies Googlebomb.

CONCEPT

I’m stealing all of my ideas from Milligan today.
Anyway, here are stories of sketch on Republican candidates in your neighborhood:

New York:

·NY-03: Peter King
·NY-20: John Sweeney
·NY-26: Tom Reynolds
·NY-29: Randy Kuhl

Illinois:

·IL-06: Peter Roskam
·IL-10: Mark Kirk
·IL-14: Dennis Hastert

Here’s something for Tron:

·KS-02: Jim Ryan

For the professor himself:

·MN-01: Gil Gutknecht
·MN-06: Michele Bachmann

Amber:

·IN-02: Chris Chocola
·IN-08: John Hostettler

Sam, Lisa, Sky, my family, myself:

·MI-Gov: Dick DeVos

The rest is for the rest of you:

·AZ-Sen: Jon Kyl
·AZ-01: Rick Renzi
·AZ-05: J.D.

EVENT

Milligan linked to this wonderful site, which is by far the most useful battery of (what I usually see as a bewildering number of) options.

Want some targeted options?
Here are their pages on Metro Detroit (probably most applicable to Flint), Saginaw (northern MI?),

DIARY

– OCTOBER – is Gay and Lesbian history month.
– HAPPY BIRTHDAY – John Adams, Fyodor Dostoevski, Ezra Pound, and Grace Slick.

– NEWS OF THE WEEK –
ESPN: Cards roll past Tigers for first Series win since ’82.

The Cardinals won the World Series.

🙁

END OF POST.

EVENT

Sorry. I’ve finally reached that point of business where I’ve been unable to read in others’ blogs much or post in my own. I think that this will change a little bit for the better in about a week, and will improve more substantially in early December.

EVENT

In the words of a friend:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

In the end, I have to admit that my fears about Nate Robertson were not the issue. I could deflect my bitterness to an over-ambitious Zumaya and a string of batters who seemingly couldn’t make it to first base (or even that far).

EVENT

Nothing serious, just a bonus.

This one’s also good.

Everyone else, hold tight. I promise I’ll make it to 23 posts on politics in time for the election, just as soon as the Tigers win the World Series.
