I would like to hear the opinions of the Subaru bretheran on this vehicle

LeBron handed it to us last night. Lame we need to get it together and beat teams like this.

Homeboy is ready to pull the jack move on fools. One thing the current administation lacks is diplomacy, I am not talking specific to Iraq, but broader, across all big issues internationally. there is a clear lack of leadership and candor. I like Wes for several reasons but the one for today is real experence running HUGE operations internationally. That takes patience, respect and competence.

Sheed going to Dallas perhaps? I wouldn't care much if that was the case - i am growing tired of his huge head and his fourth biggest salary in the NBA. I think it could be time to throw him in the junk drawer of players that should have way more impact on their team and league but don't produce.

pulitzer prize winning news cartoon guy david horsey from the seattle pi - he has some good stuff like this and this

good news bad news! I love my mini disk recorder/player and it looks as if they are coming out with MD on steroids. Longer playing time and better quality. Bad news i I will have to buy a new device. Damn.

Andrea and I are heading over to spend some time with the folks at CWU PRSSA tonight. Andrea is going to ask for people to help with Mamafest this year, I think there is going to be pleanty of work to go around between raising pledges and staffing the event and most importantly, writing the plan! I want to get creative. I want to make it very clear how much help CWU provided to this effort. It is a great way to get solid experience for a good, local cause.

Interesting! A story today in CRN about Wagged and the increased page views to WMLAH website. What can we say...we are curious creatures!

We did this to our good buddy casey at work. He was gone for several weeks for holiday and upon his return found a sea of foil. We got everything. It rocked.

Transcript from recent Clark interview on Meet the Press.

Go get 'em boy
- Son of Blaster

Well. It has started to happen again. Vin Baker has become another team's problem. Sucks for Vin as he is having some trouble combatting alcoholism and that is no good. If that is the case he needs to take some time off and get cleaned up. Players like Vin that get tons of money for absolutely no production are annoying. There was an interesting stat in the latest ESPN Magazine: Calvin Booth, Jerome James and Reggie Evens combined make more than Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker combined. That is just not right.

Look at this ! Brent Barry a Denver Nugget? That would suck but Denver is one of my favorite teams right now - their play is so much fun. I will include the quote below as I am not sure how long it will stay on the page.
"He'd be great. He's an open-court player. He's a great athlete. He'd be a great fit the way (the Nuggets are) playing. I'll probably talk to him about it at some point."
-- Nuggets G Jon Barry, in the Jan. 12 Rocky Mountain News, on the Nuggets' reported interest in signing his brother G Brent Barry, who like Jon will be a free agent next summer. Brent plays for the SuperSonics

What a weekend. Over twelve hours of painting on Sunday - aaak my back! I spent some time here after seeing some of the debates over the weekend. Interesting the heavy use of blogs for fund raising this year, lots of vocal folks - will more people show up at the polls this year? Can they count the votes without asking the supreme court to decide who is president?

Interesting excerpt from "Meet the Press" on Sunday regarding Wes Clark and grassroots efforts to get his message out.

MR. RUSSERT: You know, David Broder, there were 60,000 people who attended caucuses between Gore and Bradley in 2000. They expect double that this year. And to give you a sense of the campaigns, the way they’re planning, I’ve learned that Wesley Clark, on the night of the State of the Union, which the president, by the way, has scheduled for the day after the Iowa caucuses to make sure America knows that he’s the president, and can share the headlines, as well, Wesley Clark is going to have a town hall meeting watching the president give his State of the Union address and then respond to it in real time with this town hall meeting. These are candidates who are really thinking this through and trying to think of creative and interesting ways to motivate their voters.

Pretty cool stuff! Live response to the state of the union address.
