This language translator is the ginchiest. Dead on for: "Where is Pepe's house?"





















Looks like I'm gonna have to go back under the hood and take another look at Jennifer Aniston. Here's her GQ spread.

It's that time of the year. Best music lists: Here and here.

Heard an interview with Diane Ravitch on Bob Edwards' show today. Fascinating stuff about education in America.

Greg Oden? Not such a fun guy.

I saw a clip of Obama with Governor Strickland the other day. We may need the big guy's help. Our budget deficit sucks.

The Indians are Putzes. We overpay for Kerry Wood. Cannot believe that 2-year/$20 million deal. Then we have a trade involving J.J. Putz from Seattle, who would have been a great pickup.

Except we don't get him. We get the "well-known" Joe Smith from the Mets (where Putz goes) and some Josh Barfield-like second baseman from Seattle. And we only give up Franklin Gutierrez, to whom I say "Gut Riddance".

Our Hot Stove is still on simmer, I'd say.
