Halloween eve.
The Giants lost to the Rangers 4-2 in game three of the World Series. Given the lousy ratings, Fox may be have been disappointed. Once the series is over the network can show “Glee” and “House” reruns.

You can’t make this stuff up – At a Nevada rally for Sharron Angle, John McCain, referring to the hotel room Reid keeps in D.C, said that on Election Day “we are going to kick Harry Reid out of his penthouse at the Ritz Carlton.” This from the man who couldn’t remember how many houses he has.

Caifornians who voted the first time for Jerry Brown for Governor are wondering “Would Linda Ronstadt come back and sing at his inaugural?” Those voting for Brown for the first time are wondering “Who’s Linda Ronstadt?”

Hundreds of thousands of people in D.C. for Jon Stewart’s rally. This weekend might be a record for the number of times “Washington” and “sanity” are used in the same sentence.

And okay, not that it really matters who your fans are in baseball. But tonight’s crowd at the Ballpark at Arlington might have made a Tea Party rally look diverse.

How improbable is it though? The Giants are still up 2-1, and their cleanup hitter, Pat Burrell, doesn’t have a hit in the World Series, and has struck out eight of nine at bats. Including four times tonight.
–
And the worst part of tonight’s performance, Burrell didn’t want to DH because it would have affected his hitting.
–
But okay Giants fans, thinking of REAL torture, here’s a memory for you – Shinjo at DH.
–
(Burrell does, however, have two walks. Another beautiful aspect of baseball. When you really feel like you suck at hitting, there is always the option of daring the pitcher to have a worse day than you are having.)

Another day, another “One day only sale” flier from Safeway. When did the grocery store turn into Macy’s?

What’s the difference between theTexas Rangers and the U.S.? Well, at least with the Rangers most everyone agrees that they are much better off without George W. Bush in charge.

George W. Bush was at the third game of the World Series sitting right behind home plate. As usual, he ordered a T-bone and baked potato.

Last weekend was the “Rally to Restore Sanity” in Washington. George W. Bush says they had sanity in Washington during his administration. He came every December 25th.

Linda Ronstadt and Nolan Ryan would make a nice pair. They both wear the same size jeans.
Back in the day when gov moonbeam was shining in Calif, he still cast a more enlightened glow than a “thousand points of light.”
I wonder what da mayors of San Francisco and Arlington/Dallas are wagering on the WS? The wager is supposed to represent your city and have plenty of. Word on the street is that they got plenty of “steers” in Texas.
