    Doug Christie (basketball) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Some facts about Doug Christie's marriage. I am fairly certain the only Wiki vandalism is the bit about poking his eyes out but to be honest, that could be true.

    I decided to dot this after reading an article where Doug Christie blames the NBA for blackballing him because of his wife.

    In 2002, the New York Times[2] published a feature story in which the couple talk about ways the two keep Doug from succumbing to the extramarital temptations that come with the pro athlete lifestyle. These measures include:

    - With few exceptions, Doug does not look at other women, avoiding dialogue or eye contact. Jackie explains, "Doug is allowed to look at females. I would prefer he didn't." Or I will poke his eyes out. - Jackie often follows behind the team's bus on road trips, talking to Doug on his cellphone until they reach their destination.

    - After his wife expressed uneasiness about female Toronto Raptors staff members having access to the players' locker room, Doug dressed in a separate locker room.

    - Jackie insists on accompanying her husband when he is being interviewed by a female reporter.

    - The couple re-marry every year on their wedding anniversary, complete with guests and festivities.

    Talking Points Memo | Mystery Solved!

    Incompetence rears its ugly (and hilarious) head once again:

    Quoted: A lot of people were asking tonight: what the hell was that mansion up behind John McCain tonight during the first part of the speech?...Well, several readers have written in to tell me that the building is actually the main building on the campus of the Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood, California...But several readers have suggested that perhaps one of the tech geeks charged with setting up the audio/visual bells and whistles for the evening was tasked with getting pictures of Walter Reed Army Medical Center but goofed and got this instead.

    If Juno Was 10 Times Shorter and 100 Times More Honest | Cracked.com

    I couldn't agree more. This movie annoyed the hell out of me, but redeemed itself enough in the final 10 mins to move from "that sucked" to "I don't understand why it won any awards or why people liked it so much".

    The McCain Girls Face the Music - Political Machine

    The truth finally surfaces and my suspicions are confirmed. Its too bad, I wanted to see the third act.

    Quoted: The McCain Girls, whose videos exposed several hidden truths--including the fact that "McCain" rhymes with "Rain"--have come clean: It was all a joke. In other words, they meant to do that. According to The New York Times, the humor web site 23/6 (the same folks who brought us the butt-kickin' Swift Kids for Truth) hired Jon Benjamin to produce both McCain Girls videos--"Raining McCain" & "Here Comes McCain Again"--in order to make fun of the campaign song phenomenon.

    The Five People You Meet In Fantasy Baseball - ArmchairGM

    This article is so deadly accurate I want to quote the whole thing. Instead I'll just stick to the names of each category of "that guy in your league" and let you read the descriptions for yourself:

    Mr. Add & Drop
    Mr. Disappearing Drafter
    Mr. 2001 All-Star Team
    Mr. 2010 All-Star Team

    Quoted: Mr. Hometown Hero - This one seems to involve Yankee fans an awful lot of the time. You can tell who this person's favorite team is by looking at his roster for two seconds. It is loaded with players from one specific team, and the holes are filled by guys who USED to play for that team.

    For what its worth, I am probably a combination of Mr. Add/Drop and Mr. 2010. Last year I had a dash of Hometown Hero as well, but the Tigers offense was sick and I had its two best players.

    Politico.com: A penny for your thoughts

    Between this, the bowling and his planned "foot traffic" tour of Pennsylvania over the next 21 days I think Obama is going to close if not eliminate the gap by April 22.

    Quoted: A voter at Sen. Barack Obama's town hall meeting in Greensburg, Pa., yesterday asked whether he would consider eliminating the penny. "We have been trying to eliminate the penny for quite some time -- it always comes back," Obama said. "I need to find out who is lobbying to keep the penny." Somebody in the crowd pointed the finger at Illinois, the home of Abraham Lincoln. "Oh, you think it’s Illinois? You’re blaming us?" he asked before turning serious. "I will seriously consider eliminating the penny as long as we find another place for Lincoln to land."
