The Voyage of Captain Obvious: May 2005
http://valatan.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
The Voyage of Captain Obvious. Sunday, May 29, 2005. Well, there's always next year. Looks like America's lovable losers have finally decided to throw in the towel. Within days of discovering that their golden-boy pitcher has a fucked-up elbow, the Cubs decide to trade away their only effective bullpen guy (aside from semi-effective Ryan Demptster) for AAA prospects. I wanted the Cards to crush the Cubbies, no doubt, but not with this spat of injuries (and none of them to that asshole Zambrano! Mi querid...

The Voyage of Captain Obvious: July 2005

The Voyage of Captain Obvious. Sunday, July 17, 2005. Howevewr, all of these things factor in the games that these teams played against the cardinals. It seems odd to me to peanalize the cardinals schedule strength, when they consistently beat the teams that they play, thus weakening their standings. Posted by Valatan @ 9:51 PM. South of the Ohio and West of the mighty Mississip. A bitter fool bitterly trying to survive my temporary exile at a school too large for its own good. View my complete profile.

The Voyage of Captain Obvious. Monday, October 31, 2005. Is why I was ambivalent of Harriet Miers. Alito. Is the type of appointment that everyone was terrified Bush would come forward with. This, however, shows that the Demcratic "popcorn strategy" (i.e., sitting back and letting the republicans fight over Miers) may have paid off. Also, it may indicate that the fillibuster compromise was worth it. The Dems may, just yet, block this guy. This is looking less and less good. Graham holding probably is...

The Voyage of Captain Obvious: April 2005

The Voyage of Captain Obvious. Thursday, April 21, 2005. Now that's the type of game that I like to see. Carpenter throwing 95 in the 9th inning, and Larry Walker finally hitting. Not to mention seeing the Cubs fall in defeat after last night's heartbreaker. And as a bonus, another shot of Matt Morris's beard as he goes to congragulate CC after the CG shutout. Nothing in all of sports is more fun than the Cardinals beating down the Cubs. Posted by Valatan @ 12:48 PM. Wednesday, April 20, 2005. A scoop-po...

The Voyage of Captain Obvious: December 2005

The Voyage of Captain Obvious. Friday, December 30, 2005. I'm glad someone else hates PBK. I'm ovejoyed someone else. Hates the very idea of Pottery Barn Kids. As much as I do. Even barring the hyper-expensiveness of the whole thing, there's the hyper-Yuppie sexism in the store, highlighted above by Vanessa of feministing. My one joy of my solitary self-immolating trip into the store was witnessing one of the girls there playing with robots in the 'boy' section of the store. Posted by Valatan @ 11:44 PM.

The Voyage of Captain Obvious: September 2005

The Voyage of Captain Obvious. Thursday, September 29, 2005. OK, rant over. My real point is: is all of this just a matter of perspective? Giants like Abe Lincoln and Napolean Bonaparte? Also, if your answer to the previous question is no. then are things better this way? Is it good that we don't have major changes and clear choices between leaders come election time? In the long run, I'd have to say probably, but living in a sound byte society is getting damn fucking frustrating. They think they're goin...

The Voyage of Captain Obvious. Sunday, November 27, 2005. Things getting better, eh? Former PM Allawi on Iraq:. People are doing the same as [in] Saddam's time and worse,' Ayad Allawi told The Observer. 'It is an appropriate comparison. People are remembering the days of Saddam. These were the precise reasons that we fought Saddam and now we are seeing the same things. What is going on? Terrorist activity, and to prevent. We have gone into total Orwell mode these days, I guess. Via This Modern World.

The Voyage of Captain Obvious. Sunday, August 21, 2005. So that should create some pretty photoage, so see you later, internet legions! Posted by Valatan @ 8:29 PM. Monday, August 15, 2005. On why it's rediculous to argue that the next Dem candidate need be a governor. 1 The argument that governors always win is absurd and based on a nonexistent sample size. Does anyone remember the Dukakis campaign? But former sec of the treasurary never lose. We can't trust those governors and their 6/10 chances! Off t...

The Voyage of Captain Obvious. Sunday, January 22, 2006. Holy Fucking. God. Tells us about a particularly terrifying story. About our disaster of a health care system. And penalize the fuck out of the hospital if this poor woman actually ends up having to sue to find out why she can no longer walk or pick up anything. Posted by Valatan @ 7:02 PM. Thursday, January 19, 2006. Lose by voting against the nominee? Because they are the 1994 Rethuglicans. Only worse. You couldn't trade in 10 Bill Frists...I hav...
