Pertinent questions 10/4/06

-- Will the FBI be allowed to use recently approved detainee interrogation techniques on the Republican House leaders in their Mark Foley congressional page investigation?


-- Are these "mistakes" a special 10th Anniversary present from Fox News to its most loyal viewers?


-- Are you wondering now, like I am, how our representatives in Congress had the balls to question Mark McGwire's qualifications as a role model for children?


-- Maf54: (7:25:25): xxxx, do you like movies about gladiators?


-- With the National League pennant still up for grabs for another two weeks, do you think any of its MVP voters are regretting having voted for the Phillies' Ryan Howard, who's at home watching the biggest games on television, over Albert Pujols, who's still propelling his team to victory and adding to his Major League record season total of game-winning home runs?


-- Do you suppose there's any truth to the historic speculation that Edison invented the light bulb so that TV executives could air Yankees playoff games in prime-time?


-- Did you see that play today in the Mets/Dodgers game in which two Dodgers got tagged out at home plate on the same play? (You probably didn't. All National League playoff games are played when you're at work.) How bad does the second baserunner have to be in that situation? The only other time I've seen the same thing happen was in the mid-1980s when White Sox catcher Carlton Fisk tagged out two Yankees on the same throw from the outfield. It turned out then that the trail runner, Dale Berra, was high on coke. Today, the trail runner was former Cardinal space cadet J.D. Drew. Classic.


-- Do you think a movie like "Cabin Boy" could ever enjoy a "Scarface"-like cult revival? The central theme is the same-- trying to avoid honest work. I think I'm most looking forward to the licensed video game.
