Big job fair on campus today, with reps from all sorts of companies and the government and all that. So, I reckon I should put on a suit and tuck my hair down under my collar, and go and smile and nod and pretend I give a shit about them and that I actually believe they give a shit about me. But, I have a dog to walk and underwear to wash, and, well, a whole lotta sittin’ and thinkin’ to do. Well, sittin’, anyway. So, maybe I’ll check ’em all out again some other time.

Wednesday Open Thread

Another chilly day around most of the country, made worse by the fact that I actually have to get up and leave the house in the early morning to take junior to work, as my wife gets to go lollygagging around Binghamton. Even worse, I have to go to a damn class tonight. Wednesdays really do suck.

It’s Tuesday. That’s pretty much all I have at the moment.

Monday Open Thread

It’s Monday, and it’s pretty freakin’ cold out there. Nice weather down there in Miami last night, huh? And yet a dome team managed to win in the end. Must’ve been all those SU guys on the team.

Have I mentioned lately how much Mondays suck?

Super Boobleheads Sunday

Damn, has it been a week already?

Starting off on Press the Meat, Timmy Potatohead host John Edwards, on to connect Timmy with the spirit of Big Russ (who may or may not actually be dead). Oh, wait, it’s the other John Edwards. Never mind.

Since you probably won’t hear much about the Super Bowl today, Bobby Schieffer brings you an all-NFL Faze the Nation, with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, the annoying Dan Marino (who was on his back all day anytime he played Syracuse while he was at Pitt), former Giants albino quarterback Phil Simms, and CBS Sports booblehead, Jim Nantz.

Over at Fux News Sunday, weaselface Chris Wallace will attempt to perpetuate the myth that Democrats don’t have a plan to get us the hell out of Iraq. Unfortunately for the weaselfaced little fuck, he’ll be interviewing Jim Webb, who will hopefully deck him. Plus li’l Lindsey Graham will be on to whine and piss his pants.

Over at Goebbels, George Snufalufagus hosts Saint John McCain, on to talk out of both sides of his mouth, plus Chuck “not bad for a Republican” Hagel (don’t forget, he was one of the 28 Republican bastards to vote in favor of repealing the Federal minimum wage entirely), to talk about the Senate’s “controversial” non-binding (give these cowards some cheese, fer chrissakes) resolution to give dubya a limp rebuke on throwing more American kids into that pit over in Iraq. Then, David Brooks and George :jerk: Will will try to out-asshole each other, as Donna Brazile looks on and attempts to seem relevant. Plus, we’ll hear from the Duchess of York (I think that’s Fergie, isn’t it?) on being named the American Cancer Society’s ‘Mother of the Year.’ What the hell – she’s not even American, is she (or is it the duchess of York, PA)? Stephen Colbert needs to give the cancer society a wag of the finger over this.

Over on CNN, it’s “former day” on Wolf Blitzer’s late emission, with former CIA Deputy Director John McLaughlin, former President of Lebanon, Amine Gemayel, former Iowa governor Tom Vilsack, former CIA spook Bob Baer, and the formerly relevant Ralph Nader. Plus, occasional Democrat Dianne Feinstein, extremely specialized German sidearm, Dick Lugar, Rob Portman (who is actually willing to admit to being White House Budget Director), and co-author of “Cobra II: The Inside Story of How the Bush Administration Fucked Up Iraq,” Michael Gordon.

Later, on 60 Minutes, there is no 60 Minutes this week, because it’s Super Bowl EX EL EYE, between the Chicago Bears and the Indy Colts. Why the hell is the Super Bowl in February now, anyway? To the extent that I care who wins (which, mostly, I don’t), I guess I’ll just have to go for the team with the most former SU players – which would be the Colts, with 5. Plus, I never really liked Mike Ditka (he really has nothing to do with the Bears now, but fuck ’em anyway).

Have a super Sunday.

I had a whole bunch of shit I was gonna write about today, but I forgot what it was. So, I’ll just say, Happy Saturday.

Groundhog Day Open Thread

So, the big day has arrived. If the little varmint sees his shadow, it means six more weeks of winter. Otherwise, it means another month and a half of winter. Or something. I never really got the whole thing. Couldn’t they just say, if it’s cloudy it’s one thing, and if it’s sunny, it’s the other? They they could leave the poor little bastid in peace. I guess to celebrate, I’ll go rent that movie with Bill Murray, and watch it over, and over and….

Since they asked me nicely (and since it’s easier than trying to come up with something original to say), I’m going to plug MoveOn’s virtual march on Washington to stop the Iraq escalation.

MoveOn is hoping to flood Senate offices with 1 million messages, and they’re asking everybody to sign up for a time to call their senator today? You can sign up at:

http://pol.moveon.org/virtualmarch/?rc=iraq_moveon_bloggers

and you can see what times others signed up for, so calls can be spread throughout the day. And, you can even opt to get a text message reminding you to call.

I think you should also demand that Marc Maron get a daily radio show, but, hey, that’s up to you.

Happy February.
