A Cry for Help

Is Jon Stewart a political party? If so, that’s the one I want to be in.
Via Sheila Lennon, this partial interview transcript with Ted Koppel and our favorite fake newsman at Lost Remote.
Make sure you read it, so next time I mention the Coke and Pepsi political debate you’ll know what I’m talking about.

A co-founder of the structure of DNA, Francis Crick, died this week. When I was in high school, I counted Dr. Crick among my heroes. In college, I fretted over the realization that I could never experience what he and partner James Watson must have felt in literally unlocking the secret to life.
One of the [...]

I was planning on doing another installment of perennial favorite “Googling A Cry For Help.” Unfortunately, the last million or so search terms that got people here included Obama and speech. I guess he’s a hit. Luckily no one looking for naked Obama fetish pictures. Yet.
Oh wait, there was one for “Red Sox Yankees fight.” [...]

I refuse to accept that 1997 was SEVEN years ago. How can that possibly be?!
Anyway, what got me thinking of ‘97 was a one hit wonder from that year on Retro Lunch (I can’t get over that all my favorite songs are now “retro”) that I was very excited to hear. It was White Town’s [...]

John Kerry, reporting for duty.

I trust this man to lead us to best America possible, together.
This convention actually changed my vote; I’m no longer voting against George W. Bush, I’m voting for John Kerry.

Channel 10’s Bill Rappleye, the station’s political reporter, is of course up in Boston covering the convention. This being the “Year of the Blogger at the Convention!!!” channel 10 has set up a Rapple-blog (my name, not theirs) which, believe it or not, is fairly good. Of course, it only has two entries, but whatever. [...]

More video goodness from your Cry for Help. First off, watch this clip from the Daily Show (so you can make sense of the rest of this post).
So now that we “know” that John Kerry is the “most liberal senator” and way “out of the mainstream,” do we really have to ask what that means? [...]

Weezer recorded some great pop songs back in the day. That’s reason enough to dig the band, but that doesn’t tell the whole story on my enjoyment and devotion to Weezer. I continue to follow Weezer even as their recent albums lag, because of their enigmatic frontman, Rivers Cuomo. Sure he has [...]

Back yahd fiyawerks! At the Haht Dawg Pahty! Thanks Jallen!

The Annual Hot Dog Party was excellent: Ballpark Franks, Fenway Franks, Grillmaster Cajun Franks, and Tofu Dogs.
Yacht Club Soda, Old Speckled Hen, and a bucket of frozen daquiris.
BEST FIREWORK SHOW EVER at the Atwood ballfield by the Saint Mary’s Feast [...]

Hollywood’s loony left smears and distorts the President’s strong leadership once again: Stick with Bushie, this message is AWESOME

I’ve been watching MSNBC for the convention coverage (after the live events, which I like to watch CSPAN for, no news crawl). One of the guests for the past two nights has been Ben Affleck, and guess what: he knows his stuff.
Well, he knows his conventional wisdom, at least, but that in itself is pretty [...]

If you’re not watching the Democratic National Convention, you’re missing out. Last night Al Gore, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton addressed the convention (and the nation). Gore was great. He trotted out his SNL-ish one-liners on the recount, and was disarming. He wasn’t breathing fire as he had been in the last few months, and [...]
