The Knicks’ season ended before it began yesterday, when new acquisition Antonio McDyess reinjured his knee in an exhibition game. It’s gonna be a long year…without Farscape or a decent Knicks squad, I might as well turn off my cable.
Sick as a Dog.
It’s been quiet around these parts again, hasn’t it? Well, I’ve been trying to beat the flu all of the past week, and the moments I haven’t spent in a Dayquil/Nyquil delirium have been centered on grad school type stuff. Feeling a bit better today, though…hopefully it’ll continue through the week.
Quaor from afar.
Astronomers discover a large planetoid in the Kuiper Belt, suggesting it might be time to downgrade Pluto.
Forget it…I already patented it.

Keep listening, Dubya. You just might learn a thing or two…(This, by the way, was a photoshop.) (Via Absolute Piffle.)
Order in the Courts.
Speaking of the Supreme Court, the inimitable Dahlia Lithwick sits through First Monday (and takes time to check in on Winona.)
Fool us once…
The Supreme Court decides to sidestep the New Jersey Senate controversy, paving the way for Lautenberg to serve as the Democratic candidate. To be honest, I’m surprised the Court was savvy enough to realize that nobody wanted to hear another election-deciding opinion from them.
Mormon Justice.
Scott Layden and the Knicks throw the book at Sprewell for failure to disclose his yacht party punch. Put simply, Layden is a moron. The worst thing you could do right now is separate Spree and the rest of the team. Plus, broken hand or no, Spree works hard. If you want to start throwing around exorbitant fines, why not charge holy-rollin’ model citizen Allan Houston a quarter-mil for constantly disappearing in the clutch?
Worthy of Cliff Barnes.
Ticked about the coverage of his son in the Dallas Morning News, outgoing House Majority Leader Dick Armey tries to use legislation to take a hit out against the paper. If, as usual, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree, I’d guess the DMN would be well in their rights to pick on Armey Jr.
Carville on Stark.
Here’s something else I meant to blog last week and forgot – my old boss is looking to produce a remake of All the King’s Men (It’s below the Hitchens stuff.) I know Carville has some connections with Milos Forman due to his cameoing in The People vs. Larry Flynt…I wonder if he could entice him to direct. At any rate, if this goes down, I may just have to finagle a way to get involved in some capacity, or at least visit the set.
