Clarity

Never mind about the query in my last. I now understand Peter Kunisch's bio: he subs at 15. Does the same company own channels 15 and 57? Does the same company own everything?

The news is on

Bravo to our own Jason, who turned in a fine performance as culture maven last night on WB57's "Nine O'Clock News." Ereck and I have a crush on "Nine O'Clock News" host Peter Kunisch and are thinking of writing him a mash note. I gather the bio of him I linked to on NBC15's web site is out of date? Surely he's no longer with 15?

Headline spotted today on salon.com:

Prosecutors argue for Limbaugh records

Dialog that entered my mind when I read it:

"Dibs on Peaches & Herb!"

"You bastard!"

I'm feeling punchy today; not sure why.

Adieu

At last the University of Wisconsin political science department has deleted my email account, and I must admit I'm a little relieved. I haven't been affiliated with the department since (let me see) January 2001, but the account continued to work, and I never had the heart to tell anyone. So I continued to check the account regularly, and learned more than I could use about job talks, grad student meetings and--increasingly--penis enlargement. But as I also learned from the grad student list, the department has implemented a new email system, and during the changeover someone must have noticed: this motherfucker isn't here anymore. So I bid you farewell, sweet political science department. May your next two-tailed hypothesis be your most satisfying.

Hilarious

A recent conservative attack ad blasts Kerry for being a rich elitist.

So what is Bush? A proletarian? Do they really think we're that stupid?
