Was Bush in town this weekend?

I left town early saturday, heading south to home... I took LSD, and that view is one of my favorites in the city, a sunny morning on southbound LSD.. the waves were churning, and I noticed that there was no northbound traffic.. then I noticed an SUV convoy surrounding a stretch limo with two american flags waving from above the headlights.. It had to be Bush, right? Who else would get the streets cleared? O well, I missed an opportunity to flip the bird to our great leader...

opening day @ wrigley field

I received a last minute call offering a ticket to the cubs home opener friday.. it was cold, but they beat the cards, who were fresh off a sweep of the phillies...that harry caray statue freaks me out a little... it looks like he's standing in flames which are filled with the faces of children, its a little too Freddy Krueger-ish for me..

the father, the son, and the holy s**t, youre bats**t crazy!!

saw this on the daily show's this week in god segment... Turkmenistan's president sees himself as some kind of prophet and has written a book:

Saparmurat Niyazov, president of the former Soviet republic, urged his country's youth to read his book Rukhnama, while speaking on state television Monday during a concert celebrating Naw Ruz (the Persian New Year).

"Anyone who reads the Rukhnama three times will find spiritual wealth, will become more intelligent, will recognize the divine being and will go straight to heaven," Niyazov said, according to Agence France-Presse.

all in good clean fun

baseball season is upon us.. (going to my first game at wrigley next week - thanks Marcus!)

Now, ignoring the obvious racist subtext of the shirt (and noting the pasty white arm) I think it's kinda funny.. being a transplanted north-sider/cubs fan, I get a kick out of it - but for the record, I was raised on cardinals red (can still name the '82 lineup) and a big f*** you to anyone who actually gives a merde... i am a fairweather fan of the worst kind: a traitor as well... tellyouwhat, I'm basically just a baseball fan in general, and could care less who's playing as long as the score's close and great plays are being made, and the smoking section's not too far from my seat.. oh *&$^%! is there no more smoking in wrigley this season???
