A Good Day

It's late and I am lazy.

From the WNY Progress Report blog:


Humrocked

Al Franken’s live broadcast today from Ani DiFranco’s Church on Delaware humrocked the WNY Progress Report. 3 hours of the man hisself plus an autograph in my book and a picture. It was great, and for the folks from the WNY Progress Report who shared in the experience I love you guys.

Many thanks Al.

Of particular note: Al’s interviews with Eyal Press, author of Absolute Convictions: My Father, a City, and the Conflict that Divided America, and Tom Davis as Scott Norwood, both of which called to mind lesser moments in Buffalo’s recent history. The Buffalo flavor of the show was great, and much appreciated as well.

The new issue of Rolling Stone humrocked El Presidente, and there ain’t a damn thing they can do about it because it is all categorically true.

UPDATE:I just can’t do another Bush post- the Sabres game is going to be on soon, but this HAD to be added- the spector (specter?) of Jack Abramoff strikes… La Casa Blanca!!
Go Sabres.




Yes Buffalo, You Saw That Right…

… a commercial to promote “prosperity” by the Seneca Gaming Corporation during the Sabres game. That we don’t need.

Oh yeah, and that 4-0 score isn’t a dream either. Holy mackeral! A benchclearing brawl! The Flyers goalie’s gone nuts!



And then it ended 8-2. There's a wind blowing in the NHL and it's saying "BUFFALO."


And 24 was excellent again; tense and dangerous with a few zags left before it wraps up. Plus it's a bonafide Robocop convention with a guest turn by the dude who gets hit with the toxic waste and explodes when he got hit by the truck at the end.
