Eventually I will write about something on this blog other than movie ratings, but I saw
this post on Pandagon today showing L. Brent Bozell III espousing the Puritannical position that NC-17 = pornography, which is something I discussed in my last post. (Bozell is something of an all-porpuse attack dog; you can usually find him huffing and puffing about the lib'rul media, often
in the lib'rul media, but apparently he does Hollywood, too!)
Street Prophets
has posted an excerpt from Dan Gilgoff's inside-the-Kremlin look at Daddy Dobson's Evil Empire,
The Jesus Machine. I will have to put this on the list of things to read in the near future.
Another hallowed baseball record could be under attack this year. No, I'm not talking about Barry Bonds chasing Hank Aaron's home run record, but rather Bobby Cox pulling within striking distance of John McGraw's all-time record for managerial ejections. Cox needs to get the thumb in nine more games to pass McGraw's mark of 133.
Clearly this is another example of modern players ripping the fabric of the game as we know it. Why, Bobby Cox has access to curse words that weren't even invented back in Johnny Mac's day! Old McGraw had to settle for such punchless profanity as "phooey!" and "gosh darn it all to heck!" Those were really the innocent days. Talent dilution among umpire crews has allowed Cox to take advantage of men of lesser character who are more easily pissed off, and now managers can even get an anger boost from 'roid rage, too!
This is obviously going to require an asterisk in the record book to maintain the integrity of the game.
This blog will be moving on April 1st. I will post the URL when the time comes, right now there's really nothing there.
