Apparently Al Gore's philanthropic work makes up for his above average energy use. This article clearly illustrates how ridiculous people are when it comes to political issues, on both sides. Why do people bother to listen to Al Gore, and who has the time to care about Al Gore electricity bill? People are nuts.

Staying on a political topic, Angelina Jolie has turned into a writer. She says there's some kind of situation going on in Darfur that needs attention. Sounds like a made up place to me. Actually it really isn't that bad of an article, its better than anything Clooney tries to do.

Here's a really good interview with Matt Groening. He answers questions on everything from the Simpsons Movie, to the show, to new Futurama (which is all there is). I am excited for all of it. Futurama 2008! That's my vote for El Presidente.

Sorry that I haven't updated anything in the last week, but I was in Iowa for business. Trust me, Iowa + Business = Party Time/ocular stabbing boredom.
Well, yesterday was a pretty disappointing day with the Badgers loss and the Oscars. The Badgers had every opportunity to win the game even without the officials calling any fouls against Ohio State and in particular, the monster Greg Oden (Kam Taylor's potentially game icing miss with 26 seconds left was the first free throw of the the half for UW, ridiculous). I have nothing left to say about that.
Anyway, the Oscars apparently changed the award format. Instead of giving out little gold plated Ken dolls, they're famous five words have changed to, "And the soapbox goes to....." I just want everyone to know that if it wasn't for Al Gore, I might not have had the will to shave today. He gave that to me and I will be forever grateful. If it wasn't for him, whatever, I'm done.
Did anyone else notice how the show was run over by the lesbian train. With Ellen hosting and constant shots in the audience of Portia de Rossi, Ellen's current love interest, I felt like this should have been a program someone should download and watch by themselves late at night with the lights dimmed. Its a good thing Melissa Etheridge was there to butch-up the proceedings. Actually, I thought Ellen did a good job overall. She had a few good lines and some of her wacky antics were pretty funny. I was sad that Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller didn't do something, but I guess their torch has been passed to JB and Will Ferrell. I thought their shtick was the highlight of the evening.
Is it just me or do the Oscars feel like the new Democratic National Convention? Every time someone wins an award now, they act like they've been given a mandate to enlighten us all on their politics or what cause they just wrote a check to. Granted, I'm not for burning the Earth or anything, but what do I care what some weird looking dude who filmed An Inconvenient Truth thinks? I thought he was going to take off all his clothes and prostrate himself to Moon Emperor Gore right on stage. There are really three political parties in this country now, Republicans, Democrats and Hollywood. I wonder if that's how Clooney's registered. Apparently when I said earlier in this entry that I was "Done" I lied. Sorry.
On to the actual awards. I'm sure everyone already knows how I feel about the Departed winning awards. It wasn't a surprise, but I'm still unhappy. My biggest disappointment is that Pan's Labyrinth didn't win Best Foreign Language Film. This movie was already dissed by not getting nominated for Best Picture or Best Director, but then it doesn't even win for the best category it was let in on. I've heard The Lives of Others is a good movie, but who cares. Pan's got treated like it was some little movie that the academy was throwing a bone to by allowing them to come to the show. Bullshit. Onward, did anyone else think the chick who won Make-Up for Pan's was hot? She was at least way cute. And she actually deserved the award, how'd she win?
I also like/hate the fact that they seem to think its uproariously funny that they go way over their scheduled time because of boring, self-applauding crap. Every year they make jokes about it and it gets less and less funny the more I realize that they really don't care about the people watching at home. As long as they get one (or eight) more chance to thank Al Gore for being such a stalwart human being, who cares if the people at home are bored to tears and just want to see who wins and who's going to trip going up the steps (I was totally hoping for John C. Reilly when he went bounding up on stage to join Will and JB).

I just listened to a Brewers radio show featuring Assistant General Manager Gord Ash and it sounds like its almost 100% that Koskie won't be ready by opening day, if at all. Ash also sounded confident that they would have a solution for third base on their current roster, whether its Graffanino, Counsell, or Ryan Braun. He seemed to be pretty enthused about Braun, but if he's not ready and the others don't work out, Ash mentioned that they could use their plethora of catchers or outfielders to trade for a decent third baseman.

Girl you know its true. Maybe a better tag-line would be, "I want money, lots and lots of money." If it is true, I can't wait. This looks like the perfect opportunity for Jamie Foxx to win his second Oscar playing a music star, as long as he plays the one who committed suicide.

Brewers Preview
With spring training at hand, I find myself getting more and more juiced for the upcoming season (same every year). This year, like last year, the Brewers have so much promise and talent on the team. They also have a lot of depth again, but this year they should have a great rotation as well. Overall it should be a really good season and its good to have baseball coming back. I wish there were a good winter league that we could get broadcasts of during the winter months. I would probably get that package on digital cable or the Internet if it were available. Anyway, here’s a list of 5 things I can’t wait to see for this season.
1. Bill Hall in Center – I have said for the last two years that he deserves to be an everyday player somewhere and last year he left no doubt that he is one of the most indispensable players on the Brewers roster. The last two years he should have come in as the starting third baseman (I’ll get to that position later), but moving him to center should be a pretty good fit. He is probably my favorite player on the team, if not in the league, and he’s earned his money so far and this new playing opportunity. I love his style of play and he’s got a canon for an arm. I’m sure he’ll make the jump to the outfield well. One question I have is why not put Rickie Weeks out there? He is supposedly a great athlete as well and I think he could only be better in Center than he is at second. At least that way he wouldn’t have to field ground balls and Hall could stay in the infield. It’s just a thought, but if he could play center I think that would be a better move for the defense. Still, I’m happy for Billy and I’m sure he’ll be as good there as he is everywhere else.
2. The third base situation – With Bill Hall in center and Ned Yost saying that he doesn’t want to move him around anymore, that leaves some serious questions about third base. From the way I understand things, Corey Koskie should be back, but there are still reservations about his health. If he can’t get back at 100%, they are going to have a lot of problems at that position. They seem to be really deep everywhere else with Tony Graffanino and Craig Counsell, but I’m not sure if they can play third. I can’t wait to see Ryan Braun in the majors, but there is always a huge risk when a team places their hopes too early on an unproven pro. This position could wind up being trouble. Hopefully Koskie can come back, or Braun, Graffanino or Counsell can handle the hot corner.
3. The Starting Five – This is the best rotation the Brewers have had since the days of Bill Wegman, Chris Bosio and Cal Eldred. The big four of Sheets, Capuano, Suppan and Bush (right now Vargas seems to be a really solid #5) looks amazing on paper. The only problem is going to be injuries, which is the same problem for every pitching staff, every year. At some point, one or two of these pitchers are going to be shut down. Hopefully, it will only be minor and they can get by with missing a start here of there. If they all stay relatively healthy, we should be in very good shape in terms of innings pitched, team earned run average and opponents batting average.
4. The not too young guys – Rickie Weeks, Corey Hart, Prince Fielder and JJ Hardy have all been around for a while now and should all have enough experience to where we can put the whole, "They’re still young" excuse behind. Granted, they’re still going to have some growing pains, but for the most part, those should be gone. Sure, this will be Hart’s first full season as a starter, but he got significant playing time last year and should be able to fill that role. He might hit a bit of a wall at some point, most players do in a 162 game season, but he’ll have to overcome it. For Hardy and Weeks, everything is going to come down to whether or not they can play and entire season. So far they haven’t been able to show us anything over a long period of time because of injuries. Prince Fielder is on the rise. He had a great first full season as a starter last year and he’s entrenched at first.
5. The opening day line-up – There are so many ways Ned Yost can go with this. The addition of Johnny Estrada gives the Brewers their first offensive potential from behind the plate since Dave Nilson and also throws this line-up all over the place. The only thing I can come up with in my mind is that for sure Bill Hall will be 2,3 or 5; Prince Fielder will be 3,4 or 5; JJ Hardy should be hitting 8; and the pitcher will be in the 9 hole (sounds like it should be a place on Paris Hilton’s body). Here’s a variation that I like.
1. Rickie Weeks - I like him at leadoff for now. Eventually I think he’ll be a great 2 or 3, but last year he did well in this slot. Right now he’s probably the best fit here if he feels comfortable.
2. Johnny Estrada – He could hit anywhere from 2 to 7. He’s a good, versatile addition to the line-up.
3. Billy Hall – he should always be 2, 3, 4 or 5. Personally if he plays like he did last year I would keep him at 3 all year.
4. Prince Fielder – He should never be moved out of 3, 4 or 5 slot. 4 should be his natural spot though.
5. Corey Hart – They hit him at leadoff every now and then, but right now I like him in the 5 or 6 slot.
6. Corey Koskie – Koskie, Hart and Jenkins are interchangeable depending on who’s got the hot bat.
7. Geoff Jenkins – He’ll be up and down, and splitting time with Kevin Mensch, so his stock will rise and fall like John Travolta’s career.
8. JJ Hardy – He’s the worst hitter on the team so far in his career, other than Sheets. Hopefully he can play like he did in spurts over the past couple years. If he finds some success at the plate, it makes the line-up even more versatile when other people are struggling.
9. Pitcher
I can’t wait. This line-up looks so good on paper and barring injury, it should score the good guys a bunch of runs. I’m sure the line-up will be juggled throughout the season in a million different ways, but that’s half the fun.
Report Day is one of the best days of the year. After four months of almost no baseball, finally baseball news comes back on a daily basis. Like every year, I hope the Brewers will be playing in October and with the team they have now, this might actually be the year. At the very least, they need to be above .500 and contending for the playoffs. October is already one of the best months of the year with football in full swing, baseball playoffs, pagan celebrations and the beginning of hockey. If the Brewers throw themselves in the mix I might have to go on dialysis.

Timmy Hardaway's just calling it the way Timmy Hardaway sees it. All he needs to do is refer to himself in the 3rd person and start "hating" more stuff and this could be the makings of something special. I smell a sitcom. Tim Hardaway in Miami Heat: Gay Patrol. Instead of 'Bad Boys' the theme song can be 'Its Raining Men' or something by Ru Paul.

Peter Forsberg was just traded from Philidelphia to Nashville. Why is this on my blog you ask? Because I really like Peter Forsberg, that's all. He's always been one of my favs and just about the only Quebec/Colorado player I've ever liked. His big issue is that he's never been able to stay really healthy. He's missed 16 games this year and the Flyers are 0-13-3 without him. They're 15-21-5 with him. That's still not great, but its only one guy in a sport where its difficult for one guy to make that much of a difference every night. And he's had a lot of fairly random injuries, like the ruptured spleen he had in the playoffs a few years ago. Overall he's one of the best players of his generation and a possible Hall of Famer. This is pretty impressive for a guy whit a huge "What If he hadn't been hurt so much" on his record. Now he's going to the Preds and hopefully they'll put him on a line with Paul Kariya, also one of my all time favs. Then it would be on.

Carlos Mencia is a Douchebag. I guess that explains how jokes got into the mind of Mencia. Really, Joe Rogan isn't much better though. Good work finding this Dave Faber.
The really sad part is that Carlos Mencia isn't very funny. He must pick some really shitty comics to steal from. Like when rappers steal from shitty 70's songs, other than Under Pressure of course. Vanilla Ice sure can pick 'em. Maybe Carlos and Vanilla should get together?

I picked up Bloc Party’s new CD, A Weekend in the City, on Tuesday and I have finished listening to it twice so far (I was in the car for a long time yesterday). I am still trying to figure out exactly how I feel about it. I was mega-hyped up for this album about a month ago, and that might be working against it, but so far I’m pretty disappointed. This CD has almost none of the same qualities that made their first one, Silent Alarm, really likeable and repeatable. This latest venture is heavily produced and completely lacking of their trademark indie pop attitude. The best way I think I can describe it is that this album reminds me of the way U2’s career path has gone. They went from a really edgy, independent sound to an over-produced, highly commercial vehicle. U2 turned themselves into a walking political billboard and financial juggernaut over the course of the last 20 years, while their musical style has obviously changed as well. Bloc Party managed to make this leap over the course of two years and one album. Now the only thing left to be seen is if they can turn this change into cash like U2.
This album is following the mold of many other new bands whose first album comes out and after a while finds pretty good success. The band starts touring and more and more people eventually come out to their shows. All of a sudden the band starts to feel like they’ve got something to say and all these people want and are paying to hear it. It’s a common mistake, and its killed more than its fair share of bands. At least it has for me. I know tons of people still listen to Green Day and the Red Hot Chili Peppers and I’ll never understand that. The good thing for Bloc Party is they are probably going to get their wish. Songs from this album will be heard in mall stores (i.e. Abercrombie, Hollister) everywhere and they’ll probably wind up with a lot of money, but I’ll be stuck listening to their first album.
I guess the only thing I can say about this album is that it really isn’t bad, just unimpressive and disappointing. Will I ever listen to it again? Yes, I do like some of the songs a decent amount. Will it pass Silent Alarm? In sales, sure, but I probably won’t stop listening to Silent Alarm before I stop listening to A Weekend in the City.

I know this happened a few days ago, but I love it too much. I personally thought Mooninites were attacking Boston and I was wondering how long it would take them to sweep through the Midwest. I was more terrified than Rex Grossman is to go back to Illinois. Now that I know it is only an advertising stunt for a movie, I can't wait to see the movie. They hooked me with fear. 
Why is everyone scared of Lite Brite?

Since when did Ziggy Marley start working for Turner Broadcasting and can I hire him to do PR for me?
These dudes look like the geniuses who would come up with an advertising stunt like this. If I had a picture in my head of the type of people who could have done this, it never would have come out this well. Sure its harmless, but you have to be on some crazy drugs not to realize that some people just wouldn't get it, and that those people are probably the ones you don't want to piss off (aka. the people who are prosecuting them right now).
I can't see how they are going to stretch their 15 minute episodes into a feature length film, but it should be better than the Family Guy movie at least.

Do you think John Mellencamp gets sick of hearing his damn song every three minutes during a televised sporting event? This reached the "we have to apologize to the rest of the world the way Canada does for Celine Dion and Bryan Adams" line, and continues on its stalwart path.

I have generally thought of Pat Forde as kind of a douchebag, but he wrote a decent article about the badgers. I like that they are finally getting some respect (I am knocking the crap out of every piece of wood around me right now).

Favre and Driver at Ruvell Martin's Bachelor Party. I heard Mark Tauscher gave a little striptease and Bob Harlan got blasted and was offering everyone M&Ms. Robert Brooks, still trying to sell his rap album, provided the musical entertainment and everyone beat the hell out of a Mike McKenzie/predator piñata.

If I were K-Fed I'd take the job. He already gets paid a bunch of cash because he's the bastard son of Vanilla Ice (I just need to get a DNA sample to prove it). This can only help his standing.

Why didn't I think of making a paper Optimus Prime before. I have a feeling mine will look like shit.

WHEW! That's a relief. The biggest toolbox in Hollywood isn't safe from me yet though (see below).
