Conan O’Brien is back! He’s hitting the road starting April 12 for his “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour” and will perform across the country until June 14.
Conan is barred from having his own TV show until September, according to his severance deal from NBC.
He will appear on stage performing musical numbers, skits and “occassional awkward silence,” with his Tonight Show crew, including sidekick Andy Richter and The Tonight Show band, The Wrap reports.
“It was either a massive 30-city tour or start helping out around the house,” O’Brien said in the statement.
Nomar Garciaparra Retires With Boston Red Sox
by Dank Kush on Mar.10, 2010, under Misc
Just out of curiosity I wanted to see how Nomar Garciaparra, who retired with the Boston Red Sox Wednesday morning, ranks among shortstops already in the MLB Hall of Fame and here are his stats:
Nomar Garciaparra: BA: .313 (3rd), OBP: .361 (T-9th), SP: .521 (1st), Hits: 1,747 (18th), Home runs: 229 (4th), RBIs: 936 (10th), Runs: 927 (18th), Stolen bases: 95 (16th).
In terms of his Hall of Fame worthiness, I guess it comes down to a number of factors.
Here’s my quick take on some areas of consideration if he should get in as a shortstop:
Power Numbers: YES. He really should rank third in the home run category if you bumped Robin Yount, who spent about half his career as an outfielder. Tenth in RBIs is also a very good rank.
Batting Average: YES. He ranks third on the list of HOFers and for nearly a decade was considered to be one of the best at his position, along with Derek Jeter and confessed PED users Alex Rodriguez and Miguel Tejada.
Percentages: YES. First in slugging percentage, ninth in on-base percentage as well as a high OPS among HOF shortstops? Hard to argue with those numbers.
Joe Nathan To Be Replaced By Joe Rauch
by Dank Kush on Mar.09, 2010, under Misc
The report that Joe Nathan has a torn elbow ligament is awful news for both him and the Minnesota Twins, but unless you’ve already drafted him already or count on him in your keeper league, I still wouldn’t panic here. He’s a closer. There are 30 of them today, and by midseason a third of those will change. Yes, Nathan was one of the best closers for the past six seasons, a rock at an often-problematic position, but as always, someone else will step up. The Twins will survive. Fantasy baseball will survive.
That’s because Jon Rauch is going to step in and be this season’s David Aardsma. Yes, I believe that.
Mock if you like, but a year ago at this time, few knew who Aardsma was, and even fewer believed he’d end up with 38 saves. We didn’t know for sure he was the Seattle Mariners’ closer until April had begun, after most drafts had been completed. At least in this case Nathan won’t be tempting us into late-March. He’s done. Move on. Don’t draft him at all in one-year leagues or keeper formats, and I say that with confidence. Maybe in 2012 we’ll look at him the way we do Billy Wagner today.
Elinor Burkett Oscars
by Dank Kush on Mar.08, 2010, under Misc
This would probably be what the producers consider an unintentional watercooler moment. In what probably put his film on the map more than winning the Oscar itself, the short documentary winner Roger Ross Williams got Kanye’d when accepting his award for “Music by Prudence.” As Mr. Williams, the director, was making his speech, Elinor Burkett, the producer, jumped onstage with him and began talking over him, shades of Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift at the Video Music Awards last year. Salon has the back story: the two have been fighting for a year; there was a lawsuit about the creative control of the film that was settled out of court. Ms. Burkett, who lives in Zimbabwe, where the movie was shot, claims she gave Mr. Williams the idea for the project, a charge he disputes. In any case they didn’t talk in advance to determine who would be the one person to come onstage to accept the award. (The Academy allows only one person to speak.)
Though she wound up delivering her thoughts at the mic, Ms. Burkett said she was not happy with the film. “It’s not what I envisioned when I came up with this project,” she told Salon. For his part, Mr. Williams said: “She pulled a Kanye. And it’s a shame, because this is such positive, happy film.”
But, he added, it didn’t diminish the honor. “It’s such a career achievement, to win an Academy Award,” he said. “I’m so proud of the movie .”
Sandra Bullock Oscar Acceptance Speech
by Dank Kush on Mar.08, 2010, under Misc
It has never happened before - an actor won both an Oscar and a Razzie in the same year. How did Sandra Bullock handle such an honor?
With the aplomb we’ve come to expect from her all awards season.
Not only did she show up at the Razzies on Saturday, March 6 to accept her award for “All About Steve,” she brought a DVD of the movie for everyone in the audience. She takes the award in stride and has said several times that being nominated for both awards at the same time is “the great equalizer.”
Hendrick Motorsports
by Dank Kush on Mar.07, 2010, under Misc
Mark Martin: After spending much of the day hovering around the top 15, Martin made a late charge to the front, finishing fourth at Las Vegas to put a decisive Hendrick Motorsports stamp on the Shelby American 427. Teammates Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon finished first and third, respectively, and collectively led 237 of 267 laps. Martin jumped three spots in the point standings to third, and trails Kevin Harvick by 49.
Jeff Gordon: Gordon, in the No. 24 Pepsi Max Chevrolet, dominated from the start in the Shelby American 427, leading the first 52 laps after qualifying second. He lost that edge, however, on the race’s final pit stop, when crew chief Steve Letarte elected for two tires while Hendrick teammate Jimmie Johnson took four. Johnson easily tracked down the No. 24, leaving Gordon with a third-place finish and a load of disappointment.

Broschart also said that Daniel Cresci met Carina Schlesinger at a park where she used to come for training her dog.
He added that their relationship was not ideal and they both had a stressed relationship. Scott Broschart stated, “I saw consecutive ups and downs during their relationship,” he further added that Carina Schlesinger was not mentally stable and she used to do worst things. Broschart stated that he was peculiar because Daniel Cresci was such a man that he used to stay keep in touch with his family. He loved his parents and brother very much; we talked with each other daily, said Scott Broschart.
Her bank foreclosed her home which was located in Long Island, Schlesinger and her former husband owned that home. In 2004, she was walking with her pet dog in Central Park when a 33 years old boy grabbed her and attempted to do sex with her. She fought back very bravely, her dog Cookie bit the rapist twice and protected her. The DNA analysis proved that the rapist was Rodriguez; he was arrested for attempting sex with another female four days later.

by Dank Kush on Mar.05, 2010, under Misc
Marine Col. James Sabow — The Pentagon shooting suspect, John Patrick Bedell, who on Thursday evening opened fire on two security guards at an entrance to the Pentagon died at hospital. He was injured by the return fire of other guards, standing there. The injured guards are stable and out of danger. He did not give them any clue of attack. He just approached the security guards near gate and started firing. The suspect was identified as an American citizen named John Patrick Bedell and he was 36-year-old. The death news has been confirmed by the U.S. Defence Department Headquarters, too.
**Marine Col. James Sabow**
The chief, in his statement, said that they were investigating the matter and were trying to find out the root causes of the reasons behind this frustration.
John Patrick was not a terrorist he was a common man who had nothing to do with violence and terrorism but just he was not convinced with the commission reports about September 11 terrorist attacks on New York.
In an internet posting, he mentioned that Marine Colonel James Sabow death case made him to establish the truth of events such as the September 11 demolitions. Marine Colonel James Sabow was found dead in the backyard of his home in California in 1991 and investigators had referred his death as suicide but thats not true. There are several theories about the Colonel James death.
President Obama is being briefed on this case by the FBI officials and they are providing him with updates of the case at White House.
