So, I'm sitting at work today (in a funk, of course, because of the travesty tragedy on ice that I suffered through last night - otherwise, I might not even be bothered by this), and I get some bad news. One of my coworkers recently found out that one of his daughters was diagnosed with acute leukemia last week.

Even as we communicate about it right now, my imagination is furiously designing the new home of the Funny Farm. There will be some upgrades arriving there eventually but for now it's pretty rough. I hope you will be able to settle in comfortably along with me into my new home. Of course, there's lots of new toys (including my own pictures and my first adventure with (: Tom :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/00617013533860528311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836033.post-1083147741660414062004-04-28T06:22:00.000-04:002004-04-28T06:34:50.750-04:00Breaking Down
I'm so verklempt after last night's disaster that I can barely find enough strength to point you to this reading assignment from Interesting Monstah: go to the post titled Jeebocrats on the March: Blood-Stained Banner, v. 4.0 and read through the articles Laurie links to (disclosure: I have read a lot of them already, in particular Orcinus' work.

I have finally got around to updating the Open Source Politics areas in the Funny Farm Links Zones. I have tried to retain my links to the few who have dropped out of OSP in other areas of the Links Zone for your continued surfing enjoyment.

I am ashamed to be a fan of the Montreal Canadiens today.
Not because they were hopelessly outclassed 4 - 0 last night. There is nothing to be ashamed of when you are beaten by a better team, as long as you try your best to win. The Tampa Bay Lightning certainly looked like they were playing much better than the Habs last night. Plus they got lucky on the first (: Tom :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/00617013533860528311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836033.post-1082810689432466892004-04-24T08:44:00.000-04:002004-04-24T08:58:11.793-04:00Nine Hundred and Fifty Days and Counting
At least, that's what my little gadget tells me over in the Funny Farm links zone. I wonder if the BFEE ABC will decide to disappear the original story sometime in the next few months?

What with all of the sporting seasons overlapping each other these days, sometimes it slips by you when yet another year begins in one of your favorite sporting activities.

Because it may be the last time NHL hockey will be played in a while if the lockout takes place, I hope to see another good playoff year as a sendoff.

Dear Funny Farm,
John Kerry and I had a very good meeting yesterday. During the campaign we often focused on what divided us, but the truth is we have much more in common beginning with our fervent desire to send George Bush back to Crawford(: Tom :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/00617013533860528311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836033.post-1079006615776981322004-03-11T07:03:00.000-05:002004-03-11T07:06:41.360-05:00Jesse Is Back Too!
Of course, adding Ezra to Pandagon was somewhat like having Orr and Esposito (take your pick, depending on what kind of game you like) as the pick up ball hockey team of the blogshpere. If you can follow my tortuous mangling of metaphors, you’d see that I think Pandagon has such an embarrassment of riches that some of you may have not noticed that Jesse was sitting on the (: Tom :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/00617013533860528311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3836033.post-1078800973438586082004-03-08T21:56:00.000-05:002004-03-08T22:00:01.623-05:00Hesiod Is Back!
This blogger said burnout was a problem. I can see why – Counterspin Central tries (as well as more than manages) to be at the forefront of the Fashionable Left Bank of Blogistan, and that is a full time job in and of itself.

I would never let my children be taught by a Christian. They would teach my children to accept their Christian point of view, and they would try to force their Christian agenda on my kids.

Cubs in the World Series? Naa-aaa-aaahh! (cough)
As a long suffering Tigers fan (cough) I have memories of the Cubs and the Padres in 84, and I can sympathize with those who feel badly. But, let’s put it in perspective. It was only a game (that would have brought millions of dollars to the local economy). Sports are civilized, gentlemanly exhibitions of skill (cough cough).

Neal Pollack is going to be on stage in Ann Arbor shortly. And I'm stuck here in Hazeltucky. Plus I have to go to work tomorrow. Have to! D'oh! So all I can do is gaze longingly over at a couple of websites (there's much more, but I am almost redlining on information overload as it is) and see if they will tell me about it soon.

I just spent an interesting weekend down in the Great White North. Monday, October 13, is Canadian Thanksgiving, and since my brother is living in Canada, but working in The United States, he decided to host a Thanksgiving dinner in Sunday at his place in Lasalle (suburban Windsor), Ontario.

The PC connection here at the Funny Farm has gone screwy over the last few days. I’m not sure whether I have myself to blame this time – but I know it’s not anything that I installed lately, because I haven’t installed anything lately.

I am happy to inform you that the Funny Farm has been in the blogsphere for one full year as of today.
I was going to spend a long time dwelling on just what I’ve managed to talk to you about all year long, but that’s way too much work. Instead, grok on these action photos of Your Humble Narrator, taken just yesterday in Ann Arbor, Michigan:

Rush Limbaugh has resigned from ESPN. I wonder (well, not really) if he'll use this as a vehicle to rant about the unfairness of the liberal media.
He's getting pummeled today about popping lots of pills when he lost his hearing, too.

So, I'm reading CalPundit the other day, and he points me over to a couple of posts by ESPN's Tuesday Morning Quarterback, Gregg Easterbrook, over at his nicely named Easterblogg about new military hardware.

Hmmm. Let's see now : there are 365 days in a regular year. And 365 + 365 would be... yeah, that's right. It would be two years since Stole Himself an Election gave the American people one of the moronic brownshirt remarks he has become so well known for: "I want justice," Bush said.

And, it is a long one, too. The Conservative Media will be slamming this or yawning a lot. But this Krugman must read (warning:free NYTimes subscription required) ties up all the pieces so that the average moderate can make sense of what the BFEE is trying to do. There will be gratuitous praise for various parts of it strewn in the ramblings here from time to time.
