Bye bye, 401K

Thank you Congress, for getting nothing done yet again and giving my 401K a nice kick in the balls.

Song title?

What is the name of the song being used in FOX's NLCS promos? I can't find it anywhere and I find it catchy.

TV Update

Catching up with some of the tv premieres. Luke Perry's on SVU as a guest star! Ha that was unexpected. And wait... is that Sara Gilbert from Roseanne in the same episode?

ER is still on tv?

Also, I've been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the first time. What did I think of the last half of season 5? Really heavy.

Jets vs Pats 2008

If the Jets win, I predict the following statements from NFL analysts:
1) The Jets are now the team to beat in the East
2) What a difference Brett Favre is to the team (and how Chad Pennington could not have made some throw in the game)
3) It just shows how valuable Tom Brady is

If the Pats win, I predict the following statements from NFL analysts:
1) Football is a team game
2) The road to the AFC East goes through New England
3) Defense wins championships
4) Brett Favre is still learning the system
5) That's why Bill Belichick is a hall of fame coach

I think this is going to be a close, defensively oriented game. For the Jets to win they will need their offensive line to get a good running game going against the Patriots, who are vulnerable in that area. On the flip side, they will need to stifle New England's run game with their own revamped defense. Biggest non-injury fear - Brett Favre is perplexed by the Belichick defensive schemes.

On Being Liberal

Bob Herbert had a great column in the NY Times the other day about being proud to be liberal. Frankly, hearing the word "liberal" used in a negative fashion makes me think of some old guy in a rocking chair who is complaining and it infuriates me. Obviously liberals can't be credited with everything good that's ever happened, but a lot of major important changes are the result of liberals!

90210

I taped the premiere of 90210 and less than 5 minutes into it, the father character says "Family first" and Jessica Walter as a grandmother comes out holding a drink. Will there be any more similarities to Arrested Development?
