The Brewers won. They got behind but they remained calm, hit some home runs, and won 6-5 over Pittsburgh. This ends the 12-season losing streak Milwaukee was on. Now, we need one more win for a winning season.

Blogometer Mention

Filed under Weblogging
Comments Off

TAM got it’s first mention on the National Journal’s Blogometer. That could explain a couple of traffic spikes in the middle of the day. Can someone give them some permalinks. It’s like Kaus. I’d read more if I could easily link to items.

One More Win

Filed under Sports
Comments Off

With yesterday’s 2-0 win over Cincinnati the Brewers almost have their first non-losing season in ages. That’s a pretty good birthday present for owner Mark Attanasio. Three games are left at Pittsburgh. One win assures a .500 season while two wins means the first winning one since 1992. I was still in high school then!

Chili and Champagne

Filed under Uncategorized
Comments Off

How’s this for a culinary combo chili and champagne?
Ice-cold beer or iced tea (sweet or unsweet) may be more traditional partners than wine, but lots of wine enthusiasts swear by a big Zinfandel, and I was quite happy with the husky Rabbit Ridge 2002 Paso Robles Westside Zinfandel featured in Monday’s 30 Second Wine Advisor. […]

The John Roberts Era begins for the Supreme Court. Now, we’ll see if he’s the conservative jurist many said he was or if he’s Souter II. We’ll see how he is on campaign finance law when a Vermont and Wisconsin case are heard.

Comments Off

Conservative Cat hosts this week’s Carnival of the Vanities.
UPDATE: Hmm. There’s controversy with the CoV this week. So much that Laurence Simon posted his own version.
UPDATE II: Kevin sets me straight. The original host, who deserves no link, did such a horrible job both Conservative Cat and Laurence Simon went to work. The question now […]

Amazon let me down. They’ve known my purchases for years and years and yet to let me know that Ogre Tones, the latest album from one of my favorite bands, King’s X, came out Tuesday. It’s one of those albums I’d be surprised to see sitting on a shelf at Best Buy so online is […]

Dreier Rejected

Conservatives rejected Rep. Dreier as interim Majority Leader.
DeLay, according to several GOP sources, knew that House rules would give him no choice but to step down immediately. But he made clear to Hastert, his longtime friend and protege, that he was determined to fight the charges and return to power as soon as possible.

The Hammer Got Nailed

Filed under Politics

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay was indicted by a Texas grand jury for campaign finance violations. James Joyner utters the maxim that a “prosecutor could persuade a grand jury to ‘indict a ham sandwich.’” The Texas Democratic prosecutor Ronnie Earle has a history of putting partisanship above ethics while also taking down prominent Democrats.
