In honor of Nick Punto's improbable third inning homer tonight, over Ichiro's head in right field, a special separated at birth ..
Twins scrappy, slap hittin' shortstop Nick Punto and 60's hit maker, Neil Sedaka. Bonus material: Did you know the Punto is the name of a scrappy, ultra-mini sedan manufactured for the European market by Fiat? Here's some Scottish dude pitching it. We're still trying to determine if it is indeed, one of the Fratellis. If so, I expect Mitch Berg and/or Bogus Doug to be driving one before the end of the summer.

It was August 13, 2003, a between jobs JB Doubtless, temporarily staying at my posh Mac-Groveland loft, is startled by the profile of an obscure, young, up-and-coming Air Force Lt. General giving late night Pentagon briefings on C-SPAN. He puts down beer, runs to the computer, and immortalizes him with with this award-winning double separated at birth.
Five years later, that man becomes one of the most powerful people in Washington. (Schwarz not Doubtless.) Coincidence? I think not. Labels: Separated At Birth Friday, April 25, 2008

JB is making the ultimate Lenten sacrifice by stepping away from the keyboard and abstaining from blogging. But his wandering eye is still tempted and he passed on this SAB to me:

A vat of thousand island salad dressing and...
 ...a bowl of soup?  Maybe not for 99.997% of humanity, but apparently they bear a striking resemblance in the eyes of United States Senator Amy Klobuchar. If you missed the Loon of the Week clip from last Saturday's NARN show, you can now listen to Senator Klobuchar--recently voted "funniest" in the class of freshman Senators--regale us with amusing tales of embarrassment and humiliation here. The recap of her "salad days" in the Senate comes after a side-splitting story about her This is Senator Klobuchar's second Loon Of The Week award in the past three months, making her an early contender for the coveted Loon of The Year honor. It's also interesting to note that despite criticism that we haven't done enough to promote feminist causes, a full 55% of our 2007 Loon of The Week winners have been women. And without an intrusive government quota system either. The sisters truly are doing it for themselves.

Separated at Birth, Congresswoman Betty McCollum (D-St. Paul):
 And some well-known, devout Muslim woman:  Actually, that's Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco). She's not a devout Muslim woman. She only plays one on TV. I can't think of any actual well-known, devout Muslim women. I wonder why that is? To be fair, I don't think there is necessarily anything wrong with visitors to a foreign country being respectful of the local customs. An occasional Republican has done the same. But there is something amusing about feminists like Pelosi and McCollum merrily donning the hijab, which has the primary purpose of hiding one's femaleness, lest you enflame the attentions of men. If that's what they want to do, fine. When in a patriarchy, do as the patriarchs tell you, I guess. Labels: Separated At Birth Monday, March 26, 2007
The four teams going to St. Louis in the NCAA Frozen Four bracket and...
...my Frozen Four bracket picks posted on Friday? In fact, I went ten for twelve in this weekend's regional games. Which helps take a little sting out of the Gophers OT loss to the Sioux Sunday night (the fact that I wasn't able to watch the third period and OT also helps ease the pain). A little. It's just a shame that the two best teams in college hockey had to play in a regional final instead of the Frozen Four championship game in St. Louis.

This is not the first visual link we've made between conservative punditry and the classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. If they ever do a live action remake, that's half of the starring roles right there. If someone can find the appropriate Hermey the Misfit Elf we'll be set. (I see Rudolph as a stricly CGI insert).

Yesterday, listening to Hugh describe how he managed to drop his cell phone in the Charles River while taking off his hat, I began to wonder whether he really can walk and chew gum at the same time. You add this most recent clumsy mishap to his falling through the ceiling while trying to do home repairs, tripping on a curb while jogging and breaking his wrist, and his infamous snowmobile in tree incident (it works on so many levels) and you have to conclude that he's a living, breathing accident waiting to happen.

It was an uncanny experience when we brought Nathaniel in for his first (and very likely last) holiday photo shoot. I almost wanted to ask the guy if he was doing a bit, but elected not to (again for obvious reasons). A bit of advice for new or would be parents out there: bringing your four-month old baby in to get a holiday picture at a busy retail store on the day before Thanksgiving is not the brightest idea in the world.
