I guess we have to put up with two more years of Georgie Porgie blaming Clinton for his own ineptitude. I’m just hoping two years doesn’t stretch to six. Bush has been saying some nasty stuff about the boys he used to hang out with in the rich CEO’s club. The laugh will be on him when he’s hanging out with them again in a place where you don’t talk about hanging.

Chick Hearn Dead at 58. I can count the broadcasters I’ve enjoyed listening to over the years on one hand, and have enough fingers left to dunk a donut. Laker games just won’t be the same without him.
Shaq the best ever? I dunno.
Shaq the best ever? I dunno. I agree with Willis Reed. The great centers all were the best of their day, and any comparisons would be ludicrous. Mikan, Russell, Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar, and now Shaq. Only during the Russell/Chamberlain days were there two truly great centers competing against each other; Wilt was past his prime physically when Kareem arrived. If I could watch any matchup of these titans, it would be Wilt vs. Shaq in their respective primes. It would be like watching Joe Louis vs. Muhammad Ali.
Time to break out the broom, gang.
Time to break out the broom, gang. The Nets took their best shot, and still came up short against the Lakers. I’ll be passing through New Jersey in 8 days on my way to Ireland. If the outcome wasn’t so clear from the outset, it would probably be a pretty sad place. But, hey, it’s New Jersey. Nobody expected them to get this far, anyway.

I’m watching game 3 of the NBA Finals. Good game, but am I ever fed up with those Nike retro-70’s ABA funk commercials. They’re cute the first time, but get very boring with each subsequent viewing. Lose ’em, Nike.

Colonel suspended for bad-mouthing Bush. Ah, the military. When they want your opinion they’ll give it to you. This colonel works/worked at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey. I just visited CSU-Monterey Bay for a language conference and met a number of people who worked at DLI. I wonder if we met; the name doesn’t sound familiar.

It’s great to see Chuck Shotton weblogging and using RU to do it. I was an early user of Chuck’s MacHTTP, which later evolved into WebStar. Chuck’s been raising a bit of a stink about county employees polluting a stream in his town. Way to go, Chuck, and welcome to my blogroll.

I checked my referer log and found a few referals from Yahoo, where “NetFlix” was the search term. Curious. I did a search for NetFlix myself, and found that my short NetFlix piece is on the third page of returns. Not bad for a humble little weblog.

Meg serves up a story of gastronomical delight. I felt like I was sitting there watching the entire meal unfold. Sorry about your Celtics, Meg. It would have been nice to see the Lakers beat them for yet another championship. Maybe next year.

My worse nightmare failed to materialize as the Lakers knocked off the Kings in Game 7 of the western conference finals. I’ll be the first to admit that the Lakers played terribly and the Kings spectacularly. Whenever the Lakers got a bit of a lead, the Kings came back and played like it was the last play of the game.
