Wikiality: Where Truthiness Reigns

Posted on

Stephen Corbert has his own version of Wikipedia up now called Wikiality, a site dedicated to upholding and documenting truthiness. It does a great job mimicing Wikipedia, almost as good of a job as I did mimicing the NY Times with The Poser.
One entry that is particularly funny is about Steagle Colbeagle the Eagle, the mascot of the Saginaw Spirit, a minor league hockey team in Michigan. It seems that they were having a contest to rename the mascot and enough people suggested that they name it after Colbert that the Stephen inspired name won. Now, the team has fully embraced the new name and I’m thoroughly amused to say the least.
Read through the rest of the site to truly understand why our country is screwed.

Not Amazing Enough

Posted on

Even though Endy Chavez made one of the best catches I have ever seen live, or on reply for that matter, the Mets still went from you gotta believe to you gotta bereave (NY Newsday’s cover today) in the span of 24 hours yesterday by winning game 6 on Wednesday and then losing game 7 in crushing fashion last night. Check out the ice cream cone scoop of a catch below:

I did it. I actually posted a Met to my blog. That catch makes you do crazy things – it was that good. That being said, I found it incredibly annoying having the Mets in the playoffs while the Yanks were sitting at home and while I didn’t actively root against the Mets, I’m not sorry to see them lose either. There is now no more baseball in NY in 2006 and I say “good.” Let’s go Isles and J-E-T-S!
