It's gonna be a long night...

Geoff Davis had a George Allen moment when he was at the debate sponsored by WCPO this past Thursday. Here's a link to the video at YouTube. When asked how many American troops died this month, Davis responded by saying "17," when in fact it was 71. Here's the article from the Enquirer.

You can watch the entire debate from Thursday over here.

John Mellencamp will be singing his new song, "Our Country," before Game 2 of the World Series between my St. Louis Cardinals and the Detroit Tigers.

John Mellencamp will perform his new single "Our Country" before Game Two of the 2006 World Series at Comerica Park. The song, which will be broadcast live on FOX, is Mellencamp's first single from his forthcoming 2007 album release, Freedom's Road. Mellencamp will be joined for the performance by Little Big Town, the country music group that also provides backup vocals on the recording of "Our Country."

"Our Country," written over a year ago, has been part of all of Mellencamp's concert performances of late and is part of the marketing campaign promoting the new 2007 Chevrolet Silverado. Chevrolet, the official vehicle of Major League Baseball, will debut a new commercial featuring "Our Country" during Game One of the 2006 World Series.

Seriously, there's no way that they could consider Alex Rodriguez being traded to the Chicago Cubs?

Chicago's most obvious selling point, of course, is new Cubs manager Lou Piniella. That would be the same Piniella who managed Rodriguez in Seattle, where he had some of the best seasons of his career. You know, the ones that got him that monstrous $252 million, 10-year contract in the first place.

Senator Joe Lieberman now leads Ned Lamont by 17%.

Speaking of Lieberman, New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, running for re-election, found a way to endorse both candidates recently by way of the NY Times.

"In a written question from an audience member, Mr. Menendez was asked why he supported Mr. Lamont. Mr. Menendez said that his support of Mr. Lamont was a "mischaracterization," adding that he supported Mr. Lieberman's run as an independent candidate. "I wish him well and hope he returns," he said.

The Harvard Crimson recently spoke with Paul Mecurio along with a few other comedians.

By the way, this would scare me too.

Just so you know, there are Cardinal fans in Tiger territory too.
