Recap

I'm trying to get regular blogging finished earlier so I can follow the MLB Draft's resumption at noon today.

While you're waiting for Lewis Black to make another appearance on TV, check out this interview. Check out his thoughts on the news. It's pretty vulgar but here's some of the cleaner questions:
AVC: Who are your comedic influences?
LB: George Carlin, Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, Lily Tomlin, Bob Newhart, Shelley Berman.
AVC: That was quick.
LB: Well, I know them pretty well. You do enough interviews, you get pretty quick at that.
The Red Sox lost to the Yankees 2-1 yesterday and Ortiz went yard again.'

Evan Bayh and Dick Lugar weigh in on the marriage issue.
Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., said through his spokeswoman that he believes the "Constitution should only be amended when absolutely necessary, not because of hypothetical situations that may or may not come to pass."

Spokeswoman Meg Keck said that means Bayh would consider amending the Constitution if the Supreme Court ever strikes down the state and national laws prohibiting same-sex marriage, but he would not support an amendment now.
Now let me have a chance to weigh in on the issue. This is pure political pandering to the right wing base of the president. He's dropping in the polls. Gas prces are rising. Military deaths are rising. It's an election year. Oh, it's a frickin' election year! That's the only reason why he's doing it. It's a political distraction to get away from the REAL issues.

Posting will resume with regular updates as usual tomorrow. In the meantime, it's day 2 of the MLB Draft.

I've voted 6 times so far. Time to vote another 4 times for a total of 10 times.

Jon Tester will be the Democratic nominee for Senator in Montana. Chet Culver should be the next governor of Iowa.
