Paul Shirley, fired from ESPN.

I'm going to miss reading his reviews of music where he lists both good and bad things about what he's just listened to and sums it up by telling us he's undecided on his overall opinion.

Except for the one time he wrote that Oasis is WAY better than the Beatles ever were.

He should leave the Oasis/Beatles shit to the experts.

Not generally a huge fan of The Big Lead, but I did think this response to Shirley's article was well done.

I read Shirley's NBA book and it gave no indication that he's this much of a smug penis. Also good:

Poor Alexi.  And by poor, I mean what kind of shape his family is going to be in once their bank fails.

Goddamn, that was one of the best SOTU's I've seen in a long time.

The coup de grâce for me was the smackdown of SCOTUS; Alito took it really personally.

I think the President is back.

Where'd he go?
I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

Somewhere warm, I hope. I have to agree it was one of the best SOTU's I've never seen in a long time.

I don't know that I've watched an entire once since Reagan, to tell you the truth.  No wait, Bush 1991.  His "War" address.  Or something.

It started really well, but ummm, yeah...this is a heavy bird to get up in the air.  It's not Obama's fault.  It's hard to sell hope when there's such a shitload to be done.  I mean, it's nice to hear about "putting aside differences" early on and then later seeing Joe and Nance gloating like the puds-that-people-who-hate-them-see when he ticked off some "Democratic victories" (quotes mine, not attribution to Barry O).  Right now, nobody should be smiling about legislative "victories".   I did like that he gave more than just lip service to alternate energy development.  But yeah, I need more.
