Pabel-Gone

So in less than a month the Red Sox have lost the best manager in their history, the best general manager in their history, and now their greatest closer, Jonathan Pabelbon,  has signed with the Philadelphia Phillies. No big deal, right? Somewhere a closer by commitee is warming up. Brandon Lyon anyone?

Paterno fatigue but consider this :Roy Gricar, who declined to prosecute alleged pedaphile Jerry Sanduskey, has been missing since 2005 reports the New York Times. Despite leading the Big 10, "boola boola" to not canceling the remainder of Penn States games writes Dan Shaugnessy in the Boston Globe.

As a casual viewer of the Today show, I have often wondered why CBS and ABC ape the ratings leader right down to the jolly but dim weather personality. So, given my considerable clout in the world of network news, CBS has decided to hire Charlie Rose to anchor their dismal morning show. This is terrible news for fan's of Rose who is consistently brilliant but will undoubtedly have to dumb down his natural curiosity to satisfy the dreams of the everyday housewife. Ira Glass did turn down a correspondents role on the Price Is Right however.

The Rolling Stones will be rehearsing soon according to Rolling Stone magazine despite Mick Jagger still being peeved at Keef for claiming he had a "tiny todger". In other music news, Black Sabbath will record a new  album with the overrated Rick Rubin while Chuck Klosterman hangs out with Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher and insists Gallagher is the funniest dude you'll ever meet.

Need a babysitter? Consider this modern day Mary Poppins the next time you have a date night.

Here is a plug for iorr.org, a great music chat forum from England with big time industry peeps posing as anonymous posters.

Finally a classic clip from the Found Footage Festival concerning unitentionally hilarious workplace sexual harassment videos from the 1990's.
