And it's about time too.

Quoted: Just in time for the closing rush of the presidential election, MSNBC is shaking up its prime-time programming lineup, removing the long-time host –- and one-time general manager of the network — Dan Abrams from his 9 p.m. program and replacing him with Rachel Maddow, who has emerged as a favored political commentator for the all-news cable channel.

Check out the pictures. Ridiculous.

Quoted: Michael Phelps was in big trouble in the 100-meter butterfly. He was seventh in the eight-man field after 50 meters.

My Seahawks blog. The Bears game was as awesome as a preseason game can get.

Quoted: The only way for me to see this game was through the NFL Network replay, except that Charter (sucks) doesn't give me the NFL Network. Fortunately for me there's a sports bar-ish restaurant nearby that opens at 7:30 am, which allowed me to see all but the first 30 minutes of the game. And it was totally worth it. Not that the game was that good, but for preseasons standards, it was pretty entertaining.

Seriously, the wolf is just asking to get messed up.

Quoted: A wolf feeds on a road-killed elk carcass in the morning. A grizzly bear with two cubs feeds on the carcass in the evening. A grizzly bear will chuff and pop its jaw when it feels threatened. Sometimes it will also charge at the threat, usually veering off or stopping short -- a bluff charge. Early the next morning a grizzly bear with cubs chuffs and bluff charges a wolf. The wolf appears to be alone and, at times, postures as if it is playing. Video camera was triggered by a motion sensor (Make sure you have your sound on for this; note: at one point there a loud sound that is wind). August 10, 2007. Glacier National Park.

This is.... hilarious.

Quoted: In a tragic accident at the Olympic Commissary, U.S. swimming star Michael Phelps has eaten a Chinese female gymnast. “She was in a tan robe lying down after lunch, and Michael thought the girl was an egg roll,” said a USOC spokesman.

Quoted: I created this ad to illustrate the kind of concept I'd like to see Obama's team develop.

Quoted: You’d think that to stay young forever all you’d have to do is make your way through a booby-trapped cave palace and identify the actual Holy Grail among a collection of goblets guarded by a ghost knight, but according to Ernest Borgnine, who’s still fit as a fiddle and 91 years young, all you really have to do is whack off a lot.

This is going to turn into a witch hunt, for sure. And, probably for good reason - there's no way all of those girls are 16.

Quoted: Just nine months before the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese government's news agency, Xinhua, reported that gymnast He Kexin was 13, which would have made her ineligible to be on the team that won a gold medal this week.

Quoted: A nasty inflation number today. But remember what the guide says: DON’T PANIC. Basically, what we’re seeing is pure commodity price inflation, with not a hint of a wage-price spiral. And the commodity boom seems to be over. So inflation will be headed down soon.
