so morrissey allegedly said that he wished bush had died instead of reagan at a concert in manchester on saturday.

I wonder if it will warrant a visit from the dudes in the dark sunglasses. I saw Jane's Addiction shortly after Bush I was sworn in. During the show, Perry said something to the effect of "so, who's gonna be the first to shoot President Bush? I guess I'll have to do it." Supposedly led to a nice little interview with Secret Service.

Bids for tamer halftime show in the works

The NFL says that Companies submitting bids include Clear Channel Inc.; dick clark productions inc., which produces the American Music Awards; and Ken Ehrlich Productions, The Grammy Awards' producers since 1980.
MTV/Viacom, which produced last year's show, was not asked to submit a bid, Aiello said. "You can draw your own conclusion," he said.
"We're going to be about projecting the NFL's message, instead of someone else's message," said Aiello, who added that thematic elements would supplant big name stars.

So here's my prediction, Up with People opens for the new Menudo followed by Jessica Simpson.

Let's not forget perennial favorite Tokeville.

If you're Jem (when will there be a reunion with the Holograms?), then it worked.

Welcome back! (btw, if you hadn't told us that paprika equals pepper, I would have kept saying "who's back?" to myself)

Your favorite band is about to release an entire album of covers, inclusing tunes by The Who, Buffalo Springfield, the Yardbirds and Cream.

FWIW, even I'm shocked.

Apologies in advance if this strikes people as a Politics issue, but there's an MD in South Carolina who's asking the AMA for an ethics ruling that he and others can refuse medical treatment to med-mal lawyers, their spouses, and their children. This proposal would create a "carve out" to the Hippocratic Oath that has for 2,500 years made doctors better and less selfish than lawyers.

If the linked NPR story is the same one I heard this morning, there's also an "insurance" scheme under which MDs can pay yearly for pre-paid legal services to file retributive counterclaims against former patients who allege negligence in medical treatment. (The story is silent on this, but I'll wager they're writing it off as a business expense.)

I'm not a med-mal lawyer, but if this passes the AMA I will dedicate a decent portion of my life to bringing whatever pain I can to MDs and their spouses and their children. That includes the ones to whom I am related.

I would first attempt to discover whether the MD you are considering bringing pain to supports the SC MD, or thinks the SC MD is a crackpot asshole. As a transactional lawyer in a generally non-adversarial area, I hate when I get tarred with the brush intended for litigators, who are all assholes and deserve to die. Or whatever.

Other than that, charming sentiment. You go, girl.

Study shows high mortality from single-punch bar fights can be explained by a simple principle of physics: It's not the falling; it's the stopping.

Apparently, this vital piece of information has the power to turn soccer hooligans into whimpering pussies:

• "I'm too scared to punch someone now. I'd just walk away."

If I just saved Weed's life tonight, that's thanks enough.
