(A dunk, or, slam dunk is a type of basketball shot that is performed when a player jumps in the air and manually powers the ball downward through the basket with one or both hands over the rim.)

havent watched any of the australian open but knew the mens final between nadal and djokovic was on at 3am est last night. djokovic has won three out of the last four majors and beaten nadal seven straight times including finals at the us open and wimbledon. i turned on the tv just before ten and they were wrapping up after a nearly six hour match, the longest final in majors history. i wont say who won as theyve started a rebroadcast on espn 2. they began the broadcast near the end of the second set so youll only have to endure another 2 1/2 hours to find out the winner as the program is scheduled to end at 1pm. or you could search online. im pretty sure the results have leaked.
Perpetual student that I am, today I was at Laguna Seca taking a racing school. I had a pretty good day behind the wheel. David smacked a tire wall in a fast part of the track. Ibuprofen, heating pad and ice pack are fully deployed. Belts stretch to absorb energy. Despite being strapped in tight with a 6 point harness. His head helmet hit the steering wheel. I think he's convinced that a HANS is a good thing.
Enjoying season two of portlandia so far. (you go. No, you go.) Shameless less so.
RIP Dick Tufeld

The seized emails make it hard to generate much sympathy for the MegaUpload crew. I'm no international law expert, but paying people to upload full DVD rips of popular movies and cracked software while driving around in expensive sports cars with license plates like 'MAFIA' doesn't really look too good. Not to mention mansions with safe rooms and the weapons. Like wanna-be rap star computer nerds.
Anyway, all that aside, it did seems to be pretty coincidental timing that they were raided right after SOPA and PIPA went down. And now I learn that they apparently were about to release a new music distribution platform, MegaBox, that would pay artists 90% of revenue for all music sold through the store, as well as providing revenue to artists who choose to give their songs away for free (a model they had already proven can make millions since that is what they were doing through piracy.) The 5th most trafficked site on the internet turns it's guns on the outdated business model of the entire recording industry and then are suddenly arrested. I wish they had acted differently / smarter and been able to carry out the MegaBox plan.

The Newt on Meet the Gregory:
- I am against the national establishment. My people, the average Joe and Bobbi Jo, are angry at the insiders. Just like me. We're mad as hell.
- Lobbyist? Fuck me? No, fuck you!
- I'm not establishment. Unlike Romney, I'm a populist like Reagan, not a member of the national establishment.
- Romney pointing out my ad hominem attack is a cowardly ad hominem attack.
- I am a master of the art of debate. A master, I say!
- The establishment is afraid of me, because I will challenge them. They should be worried! I'm an outsider, because I'm exactly like Reagan. Voodoo economics, motherfucker!
- The daughters of my first wife, and my third wife support me. I'm a 68 year old grandfather. Just call me Pawpaw. Besides, I'm forgiven.
- Obama loves his kids, he's a very pleasant person -- in some ways -- but he's a Jewish communist.
