Squeezing in a blog post

This wedding business is a real innings-eater. There's the invitations, the preparation for the venue, the whole thing's really a big production. If time permitted, these are the topics I would be blogging about...

-American billionaire Dan Snyder and changing the name of his franchise in the National Football League from the Washington Redskins to something that doesn’t directly reference the severed scalps of Native Americans that were once collected for sport by the agents of their holocaust.

-How Mad Men, more than any other show on television, is the most direct descendant in theme, tone, and imagery of The Sopranos. With this, there would be an examination of how creator Matt Weiner co-wrote with David Chase the infamous Sopranos "dream episode" entitled "The Test Dream," and then called back to it this season with Mad Men's "The Crash." You are now armed to explore this topic on your own.

-This is more of a news alert: Yadier Molina enters tonight's game batting .367.

-I should probably go straight to Homeland Security with this one, but I want to report suspected terrorist activity. Officials at the highest offices of American government are funding al Qaeda operatives. They're doing so by funding the rebel jihadists in Syria. This is being done quite openly so I'm sure somebody else will call it in and these terrorist sympathizers will be swiftly hauled off to Guantanamo.

-The fact that this happened. Because of course it did.


Quote of the day: Mark Twain, regarding the music of Richard Wagner, "It's better than it sounds."
