Had a blackout at the palatial estate last night. My conspiracy sense was tingling. Lemme see, hot day, record power use, "Let's shut it down! Shut it down!" Out for only five hours, he said sarcastically. Saved me from viewing the Indians debacle.

The power is fine today, so before I went spoke crazy tonight with Le Tour, it did allow me to see Rachael Ray's visit to Cleveland with her "Tasty Travels" program. Is she getting goofier? Here is where she visited.

West side locations:

Fahrenheit
Sokolowski's University Inn
Touch Supper Club

East side locations:

Guarino's
Mad Greek
Fire

Downtown:

Fat Fish Blue
Sans Souci
Hornblower's
Pickwick & Frolic

Apparently not East, West nor Downtown:

Nighttown

Goofy's Hot List:

Johnny Mango for juices and shakes.
Steve's Lunch for chili dogs.
Great Lakes Brewing for beer.

Looks like the Dave Navarro/Carmen Electra marriage has ended. I guess maybe they shouldn't have married in the first place, especially when he's had a new girlfriend for five months. Ah, who knows? He can concentrate more on "Rock Star: Supernova" now.

This guy does not like Joe Lieberman. I'm not a big fan, going back to his anti-video game crusade several years ago.

It was only a matter of time. YouTube sued for copyright infringement.

Today at the Tour de France, it was L'Alpe d'Huez, the "Cathedral of Cycling". Twenty-one turns, several tough climbs, and 500,000 nutbags making up the crowd. Great race today, I'll be amazed if anyone has anything left for tomorrow. Looks like one-hipped Floyd Landis has the title in his sight, but the margin could have been higher. Good old, or should I say good young, Frank Schleck the Luxembourger, won the stage, while Landis regained the yellow jersey. Two more days in the Alps.
