So we can blame dooshebahg Scott Boras for the reason Jason Varitek will leave the Red Sox. Apparently a 5 year 50 million no trade clause contract for a 32 year old catcher seems "reasonable" to him, even though Boras knows full well the Sox have made it public policy to never offer 5 year deals or no trde clauses, and offering Varitek a no trade cluse will autoamtically trigger one in Manny Ramirez's contract which any team would be insane to let happen.
My favorite part is Boras's Ari Fleischer like spinning of why they decided Varitek deserves such a deal:
"This is the time in his career when he has to concern himself with his family."
Yeah, because him taking a 4 year 40 million dollar deal would leave him and his family devastated.

Let the carnage begin. Drilling in Alaska will probably happen now.
Of course despite the BS they tell you, it will do nothing to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, it will do nothing to lower the cost of oil or gasoline, it won't be any cheaper than buying any other foreign oil (OPEC controls the price and always will), and it will destroy thousands of miles of pristine protected wilderness.

Asskroft resigns.
Normally this would make me hapy, but this gave me pause.
Aides had described Ashcroft as “exhausted” from leading the Justice Department in fighting the domestic war on terrorism since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Stress was a factor in health problems earlier this year that resulted in removal of Ashcroft’s gallbladder.
Can't we let him stay in there until just a little while longer so his health can be completly shattered?
(and to the Homeland Security person who might stumble across this, that was a joke. I hope youre degenerate, scumbag, civil liberties destroying, voodoo cat worshiping nutbag of a boss lives a long life.).
My favorite line was this:
"The objective of securing the safety of Americans from crime and terror has been achieved"
Oh really? Can we hold you to that?
Now can we please deduct from his pay the 8 grand he blew because he doesnt like boobies?
And Democrats, if you dont finally grow a pair of balls and start fighting his new appointment, as well as all the others coming down the pike, I'm switching to independant and you aint getting a red cent from me ever again.
So what did Curt Schilling talk about with President Bush on their way to Ohio aboard Air Force One? Not baseball. Appearing on WEEI yesterday with right-wing radio hosts Gerry Callahan and John Dennis, the Sox ace said he and the commander in chief chatted about stem cell research, of all things, during their two-hour plane ride to the swing state. Schill, who gobbled an omelet while gabbing with W., said the president didn't exactly prevaricate but did show some "flexibility" on the issue of federal funding for embryonic stem-cell research.
Then Curt, why did you support Bush and stump for him when you know he's against it? Wait, lemme guess, because Bush is more "godly" than Kerry, the catholic former alter boy?
And careful Curt, you know support the murdering of millions of innocents in the eyes of all your fellow born again brothers and sisters. Except for fertility clinics, thats not murder because if you say that you look bad...

Creamy geeky goodness...
Since last year George Lucas has been dropping hints regarding the possibility of a TV series. Today they are no longer hints. On USA Today, the TV series was confirmed by Lucas and now most recently the President of Lucas licensing, Howard Roffman has quoted stating that a live action TV Series will indeed hit airwaves by fall of 2006.
