While wondering if kids still try to catch fireflies...

Best Friend and I went over to the Cedar-Lee yesterday to see the documentary "Crazy Love". This story has characters so incredible, I'm not sure you could make a feature film, because the story is so sensational. No one would believe it.

It is the story of Burton and Linda Pugach. Burt was a married guy who was obsessed with Linda. After a while, she found out that he was married and broke off their relationship. She wound up engaged to another guy. This enraged Burt so much, he hired three guys to throw lye in her face. She was blinded. The story and trial were the big story in the press in New York in 1959. Burt went to prison and was paroled after 14 years. Then the weird part happens...he eventually married Linda!

You can't dream up shit like that! This was an excellent doc. Dan Klores also directed the Emile Griffith doc a couple of years ago and I really like his style. And we also got Elvis doing a hunka "Burning Love" over the closing credits. It's quite the story.

Here is why bad grades don't mean squat. I agree, I never understood the "trick question" method.

Why the Democrats should be more passionate. And why they should throw out the laundry list.

Even the NYTimes has finally caught up with Perez Hilton

I wasn't too interested in the Wright-Hopkins replay last night on HBO. And I was definitely not interested in Vernon Forrest beating Carlos Baldomir for Mayweather's vacated title at 154.

But I was jazzed to hear this. Mayweather-Hatton is on for December 8. Somebody's "O" has got to go! Merry effin' Christmas.
