Post-Schna-ulations

ZZZ...

Another sleepy day. About three hours ago I was bounding around with seemingly unlimited energy. Then...the crash.

So much in the news today, I'm not sure where to start. I would suggest checking out the New York times in general today. There are some good articles on black holes (thanks Jon) and a few articles on The Shrub. Word on the street is that The Shrub wants to get out of doing 2 of his 3 presidential debates because he is too busy fighting the war on terror. *stifled laugh* This is, however, really word on the street so I can't vouch for how much truth there is behind it. Hmm, if he grew thorns, we people of Pittsburgh would have to start referring to him as The Jaggerbush. ooh...I like that. Somehow, even more appropriate. And so I declare it, and so let it be...he shall henceforth be referred to as The JaggerBush.

I'm still reeling a bit from the latest development in baseball...Nomar is now a Cub. Shocking.

For the apolitical, please skip this next paragraph.
Here is a mildly upsetting article about the poll results post-Democratic Convention. (ooh, Bjork's 'Human Behavior' just came on the radio...good song).
Of the 1,000+ voters polled, Bush went up 5 points and Kerry dropped 2. Hmm? Strange, considering that by most accounts, the DNC went very well. However, there are many good interpretations of these results at the end of the article.
However, (*breathing a sigh of relief...for now*) Kerry appears to still be leading in the polls:
"A Newsweek poll taken Thursday and Friday gave Kerry-Edwards a narrow lead over Bush-Cheney, 49 percent to 42 percent, with 3 percent for Nader-Camejo. Kerry-Edwards and Bush-Cheney were essentially tied in a Newsweek poll in early July — 47 percent for Kerry-Edwards and 44 percent for Bush-Cheney with 3 percent for Nader-Camejo." Go here for full story about the recent polls.

This story cracks me up! Apparently, Roger Clemens was ejected from his 10 year old son's baseball game for spitting a sunflower seed at an umpire (though the story indicates he was innocent of said charges). Maybe the ump just wanted to say he had ejected Roger Clemens from a baseball game. Sort of his own little (pathetic) claim to fame, I guess.
