Red Sox World Series and the Lunar Eclipse
On the night of the first lunar eclipse in World Series history, the Red Sox have won their first championship since 1918. It literally was written in the stars tonight... a "curse" like the one the Red Sox endured can only be broken by something celestial. Congrats to all those Red Sox fans out there. Now it's time to get the ring back in Chicago!
What's next for the Red Sox? Everyone already wants to know what next year holds. I'll let you know right now. Pedro's leaving. Derek Lowe will leave for more money. Shilling will retire (maybe?). Basically the Sox will be a one year phenomenon, destroyed by the Yankees (who will reload AGAIN next season). *shrug* I don't think the Sox fans will even care. All they wanted is one. They got it... time to move on to rooting for the Patriots and their shitty quarterback.

As Election day nears, everyone feels the crunch. Both candidates are slamming each other pretty hard (gross! Wait... not like that): Kerry by telling the truth, Bush by spreading rhetoric and then smirking after every sentence he tells that he thinks is clever. Ever notice that? The smirk is his visual "ZING!" "I just got you," he seems to say, "See if you can justification yourself now that you're spot-lightified! heh heh"

Hitting a little closer to home, the CTA is planning job cuts: 1,000 job cuts, and 20% less coverage by next year. This is no good... as Chicago is the only city with a semi-nice public transportation system that works. Unless Disney World is considered a city. It's such a shame that we as a society aren't more into putting money into things like public transportation. We'd rather spend that money on ourselves than our society. Who's moving to Canada with me?
