A BLOGOSPHERE SURVEY - The bloging world is obsessed with politics. It's all over the place. So with that in mind mega-blogger Patrick Ruffini has set up a Blogger Survey at his site and asked others to link to it from there blogs in order to get the greatest sample size possible. If you are a blogger or reader of blogs (which if you are reading these very words qualifies you as one) then why not go take the survey? It'll take you 30 seconds unless you have my dad's typing skills. :)

RANDOM OCCURENCES II - The internet is a funny place. Here's some of the search engine queries used to reach this site in the last 48 hours.

Multi 8M Game Doctor - What in the world? Some people out there are just weird.
star trek nemesis script reviews - This is one of the most common themes of SE hits for this site. You can thank The Facer for that.
intp "famous persons" - It's a personality type. One that I apparently am. But I'm not very famous yet, though I'm flattered that Google apparently thinks I am.
"jason subick" - Dear God has the world really reached the point where Jason Subick has fans! This is a pal of mine that I went to college with (he graduated last June). I referenced him once in a two sentence entry some time ago concerning a column in wrote in our college newspaper. Didn't know he had people stalking him.
WFAN Jody McDonald salary - Someone call Ms. McDonald and tell her some internet devil is damn interested in how much dough she takes home.
david schoenfield - ESPN baseball columnist that I wrote about once. Does he have a fan club or something?
drew mcweeny - This guy probably brings more hits to my site because of his name then any other male. The thing is I've never had good things to say about him.
"Tom Brady" pictures - Well I didn't write that he was a flash in the pan (though I might), but you won't find no pictures of the Patriots QB on this site, we are NY Giants fans here (pictures of Kerry Collins in a bikini coming soon!)
kursten dunst - Now that's more like it. Peter Parker's main catch is the all-time leader of SE traffic to my little ring on the web.
yankees suck tee-shirt - We have here a fan after my own heart. A fellow Yankee hater is always welcome at this site. And they got taken to one of my favorite blog entries, Nuts in the Northwest
funny speechs (free) - This guy/girl got taken to the recent post when I found a website that featured all of James Traficant's floor speechs. They got some funny ones if they checked the criminal out.

I wonder what people think when they come across this site and have no idea what they are looking at. Doesn't matter really, how they get here certainly provides a good laugh for all. I think I'm going to do this "Stroll Through the SE Queries" more often.

RIM (REST IN MISERY) BASEBALL - Baseball: An Obituary

Well they didn't end up striking so I guess baseball lives for now. I mean when the CBA is up again in 4 years we are going to have to go through this entire process again.

AT LEAST DREW MCWEENY CAN REST NOW - The Facer wonders if Kevin Smith will help him sell drugs to raise money for crack addicts. If Kevin has half the heart of say, Keith Richards, he'd do it. I know I'll be there on Canal Street to help out the smack addicts. Hope to meet Kevin also.

WHO SHOT JFK? -

So is that the truth that we have long searched for? It's the question that a new documentary entitled, "Interveiw with the Assassion," tries to answer. I don't know anything about the films except from the brief (very brief I should say) trailer which is located at the films official site. A film may not change history like this one in long, long time. All I have been able to learn about the film is that it showed at Robert De Niro's Tribeca Film Festival in May of 2002 and is apparently scheduled for some kind of November theatrical release. If you have any information about it at all please let me know. The film has certainly caught my attention and likely the attention of any soul wanting to know what really happened during that sunny Dallas afternoon in November '62.

BLOGS, BLOGS AND MORE BLOGS - I started up another blog at http://phantasyfilms.blogspot.com/. It's just a blog for my studios actions at film-mogul.com. If you ever had a movie idea and wanted to see it read and evaluated my others in a full on Hollywood simulation then now is your chance. Check out the game and my studio site. It's fun for the whole family.

WILL THEY OR WON'T THEY - Well that is the question. It is currently 90
minutes past midnight here on the east coast which means we have just three days left
until baseball players go on strike. There is little doubt now if they will. Consider that
the 9 times the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) has expired there has been a
strike or lockout. That's 9 for 9, a batting average of .1000 which is perfect for baseball.

Now for us rational people out there this whole thing is really just plain stupid. These are
millionaires arguing over millions and the entire thing is insulting to the everyday
American. We just want to watch the games. We want to follow the pennant races. We
want the game to go on. The problem is that the players union thinks that 2.3 million is
too low for the average salary. At heart I'm a free enterprise capitalist but that folks it
plane greed. And everybody knows it. (saying that makes me feel like Bill O'Reilly)

These are grown men playing a game and they want more then 2.3 million? What in
God's name is wrong with these people? The reason the union doesn't understand why
fans hate them for striking is because they are striking from a game that the average man
would give his first born to be playing. We can't imagine quitting a job that pays us
millions to play a game we loved in the pastoral days of our youth. Were those PA.
miners who were trapped in a cave for 72 hours getting millions of dollars? That's real
work folks. The coal makes our society run. Baseball is a game. It is fun, it is not about
business and greed and millions of dollars.

There must be some kind of brainwashing seminar that MLB players take when they join
the union. They apparently are forced to forget about fans, kids and how much stinking
money they are making. It seems like they just want to shut down a great season, one
month before it's dramatic conclusion for they can agree for higher salaries and less
competitive balance (the players argue against the owner's desire for greater revenue
sharing among the 30 ML clubs). Wake up you millionaire fools! You are getting paid
more then 99% of us to play a game we would all die to play. Don't take that game away
from us. Don't do it. Don't strike, again.
