Christ's Mass

"I submit that such Expressions of Holiday Cheer are of the purest Heresy; and did not our Divine Saviour say unto the Scribes and Pharisees, "He that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never Forgiveness, but is in Danger of eternal Damnation"? The truly Pious will observe the Christ's Mass Tide as they would any other Day of the Year: swath'd in a Hair Shirt and scourging oneself repeatedly with a Cow Hide."

open society institute (soros) director and former policy director for bill bradley, mark schmitt, blogs up with The Decembrist. i wonder if hes heard of the band The Decembrists. whats that refering to exactly? my teeny weany brain is flashing "Russsian Revolution," maybe a previous failed effort. will investigate......developing....(whoo, sounds serious)......

ahh, google does all the work for me. and he slags them too. if hes wrong about them, can he be right about tax cuts?

thank you, come again

beautiful day, unfortunately im ailing. a horrendous nightmare would have been far more preferable than the hours purporting to resemble sleep last night that i withstood. and whats worse, i had run out of aspirin. so i just ran out to the rite-aid this afternoon for some advil and despite my dizzied demeanor i was still capable of price comparisons.

1) 50 tablets plus 50 "free" = $6.50 = $.065 per tab
2) 100 tablets plus 100 "free" = $17 = $.085 per tab
3) 225 tablets = $16 = $.071

the second offer had its own special display case abutting the advil section. thanks advil, i feel more special already.

"ESPN's Peter Gammons is reporting that an Alex Rodriguez-for-Manny Ramirez deal could be finalized within the next couple of days.
There are still several issues to be worked out, but a deal appears close. The Red Sox and Dodgers may have already worked out a Nomar Garciaparra trade, and according the Gammons, the Rangers will sign Todd Walker to replace A-Rod, moving Michael Young to shortstop."
