Hey, I'm no dummy.
---So, let me get this straight. I could dust off a couple of old Powerpoint presentations and win the Nobel Peace Prize like Al Gore?
---After years of telling us that he invented the internet, now Al Snore is going to lay claim that he came up with the Handletie garbage bag.
---Giving him the Nobel Prize for touting stuff we have known for years essentially drops that honor down to the level of a People's Choice award.
---I wonder if the nominating committee got a look at Al's electric bill for that Tennessee monstrosity he lives in.
---I understand that when Gore puts on his coffee maker in the morning, there is a brownout in Memphis.
---Let's face it, the only thing with low wattage in the Gore Household is Tipper.
---You know this is pissing off Clinton. Because he was there talking about these issues, too.
---The only difference is Bill has been devoting his leisure time to hanging out at the local Starbucks, ogling the pretty baristas behind the counter.
---Yo, Bill, it's not the Nobel Piece of Ass Prize.
---And Al Bore still says he's not running. I still think he's waiting till the last minute. While the other idiots duke it out, he keeps his nose clean and sits around sorting glass and plastic bottles.
---But, remember, folks. He's still the same Al Gore. The guy who ran for President, coming out of a successful incumbency, and he couldn't carry his home state.
---I never heard of any voter machine fraud in Tennessee.
---So, in 2008, we're not letting Florida vote, right?
---Imus is going back on the radio in December.
---Now that he's been vindicated for that railroad job he got from that beacon of good taste, Al Sharpton, we can all go back to hating Imus for being the true bastard that he really is.
---Four scary words for Met fans: Kaz Matsui, World Series.
---The Rockies are the perfect example of what wins a World Series these days. All it takes is one late season hot streak.
---Is Glavine out of that first inning yet?
---This week's quotable quote from my friend, the Bibster: Edith Head gives good wardrobe.
---The Red Sox' Manny Ramirez looks like somebody who would be Jimmy Cliff's bodyguard.
---With TBS now out of the baseball coverage, how the hell are they going to promote Frank TV, which doesn't premiere for another five weeks?
---Why TBS relegated the best up and coming baseball analyst, Ron Darling, to the in-studio desk is beyond me. Instead, we get Tony Gwynn, who sounds like a door hinge in a haunted house.
---Anybody warming up behind Glavine yet?
---It looks very much like the writers will strike later in the month.
---Which will mean that the only clever thing being written in Hollywood is this blog.
---If the writers do go out, the television season may be greatly curtailed.
---Kiefer Sutherland in "15."
---There is no more inconsistent show on TV than "Curb Your Enthusiasm." I came to this show late and I am astounded how episodes vary in quality.
---The opening episode this season was laugh-out-loud hilarious with one of the greatest sight gags ever.
---But, subsequent editions have been terrible. I was ready to write it off completely. Then, last week, another brilliant episode. The "ratdog" show was one belly laugh after another.
---George Steinbrenner says he will have a decision on Joe Torre as soon as he speaks to his most trusted advisors.
---Winston Churchill and Ida Lupino.
Dinner last night: Dried cappacola with roasted peppers sandwich.

Thanks for the shoutout on the Edith Head quote. I wish I could say I made it up, but in reality I saw it scribbled on a men's room wall at Fordham "a few" years ago. It's still one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
As for Curb Your Enthusiasm, I have cancelled the Season Pass on TiVo. Nuff said.
Are the Mets still a game ahead of the Phillies?
I remember somebody using that Edith Head line before the Bibster.
Hollywood legend has it that the Edith Head quote was first scrawled in the men's room at Paramount where E.H. spent her career.
