I know, I know...crazy isn't it? Those jobs always tend to get in the way of one's stovepipe jeans and retro-beard. Ah, well...at least there's still that government cheese to love.

Anyway, I needz me my news in the AM, and by 8 am, you've been lapped by every news service in the interwebs.

Just sayin'. Theeeeeeeeenks!!!!

Ho, hum. Top story at the Seattle Times: tainted tomatoes. Searching their site turns up nothing new on impeachment.

Top story at the P-I: gas prices and bus ridership are up. No mention of impeachment on the front page of their site, though there's an AP story somewhere to be found if you search for it. No mention in Slog's morning news post.

Great summary by someone at Wonkette:

Yesterday evening while you were all sitting around with your microwave dinners in your laps wondering what you were going to watch now that Dancing with the Stars is over, Dennis Kucinich was on the CSPAN reading articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush. In this exciting video, watch the congressman from Ohio talking about propaganda campaigns while his coworkers mill around behind him and talk quietly about which stripper bars they’ll be going to once old Talky McGee is done with his legislating on behalf of the American people.

Besides: GRIFF SHOULD ENTER THE HALL OF FAME WEARING A REDS CAP.

Without question.

"Griffey became the sixth player in history to reach 600 homers with a drive off Mark Hendrickson in the first inning of the Cincinnati Reds' 9-4 victory over the Florida Marlins."

Hendrickson is a local, from Mt. Vernon. He played baseball and basketball for WSU and actually played in the NBA for a couple of years in the late '90s, before going back to baseball.

I sure miss my Rock'em Sock'em robots. See if you can find an ad for the Demolition Derby cars -"Smash'em Up!"

I know, I know, I am old. But they sure were a hell of a lot more fun than a "Wheelo."

i agree with some of the smug bastards up there, jr has not been a mariner for a while. he is a blood now, lets not pretend he is a crip. ;)

by the way, has anyone noticed how much the mariners sucked? fuck, i was so hopeful for this season after the trades. this season's let down and now killer tomatoes, man i cant take it.

I think if he was an infielder like A-Rod, he would be up over 800 homers by now because he wouldn't have been injured so much in the outfield.

Bring back Jr. for his last year!

That's because you never straightened out your Wheel-O, turning an innocuous magnetic yo-yo like toy into a deadly weapon launcher!

And don't even get me started on the injury-inflicting potential of orange Hot Wheels tracks...

Sure, bring Griffey back. But bring him back into Spring Training 2009, when this team has something more firgured out than simply realizing that there's a shit in their pants.
