Could anything make you head to the shower quicker than that Roger Clemens/Brian McNamee congressional hearing today? Jeezy creezy, was that uncomfortable. I failed to realize they would be testifying at the same time and at the same table. Apparently, that's why the "potted plant", as he was referred to, was in the middle.

My favorites:

Clemens saying Andy Pettitte "misremembered". That will be used as much as "U.S. Americans" now.

Dan Burton woke up the echoes and thought it was the Clinton impeachment. I wonder if he ever grilled Rumsfeld or someone of his ilk like that. He actually called Clemens "a titan".

McNamee finally sounded as if he got tired of answering the same questions. Again.

Pettitte as a "Stand-up guy". Ahem. Used HGH more than he previously admitted. Had his Dad get him HGH. Threw Clemens and his wife under the bus. God, I hate using that bus term, but it's accurate in this case.

Clemens mentioning Mom and his kids in his opening paragraph channeling Mr. Smith, when he went to Washington.

The Congresswoman who sarcastically said Clemens would go to heaven.

Old Replacements stuff gets reissued. Looks like the first part soon and the Sire stuff later this year.

Here's a bunch of items that white people like. Kitchen gadgets and the fact that "Jump Around" was #2 on the list of hip-hop songs white people like. Hey, "Arrested Development" WAS funny.

The dates of when your favorite TV series return. "The Office" and "The Riches" look like the only ones I care about, with the Sunday shows I like basically unaffected by the timing of the strike.
