Let me get this straight. There's actually a rapper named Fabolous? Who names a rapper Fabolous? Anyways, he was shot in the leg and Boston Celtics player Sebastian Telfair is involved or suspected of being involved or something, and Adam Hoff (who I believe was involved, if ya ask me) laid out the Fabolous/Telfair connection so that a guy like me who half-paid attention to this story when it broke could understand.

And it looks like the excitement of the NLCS — which I admittedly slept through until Game 7 — got to Indians/Reds fan Zach Baker. Hmm. Now I wonder if Tommy Lasorda ever set foot in Zach's kitchen wearing a tuxedo and consoled him.

GAMING

PSP Review: Metal Gear Ac!d 2 by Tim Weaver. Not your grandfather's card game.

PC Game Review: Battlefield 2142  by Johnny Rock. It's Battlefield, but with lasers.

PS2 Review: Bully  by Jason "Njiska" Westhaver. It's like Columbine, only without the blood, guns and death... okay, it's nothing like Columbine.

COMMENT OF THE WEEK

Ms Toigo is blessed with both a clear-minded view of the world and a deft control of language, both of which make her articles and comments stand out in the ever-growing Blogcritics crowd.

Posted by Margaret Romao Toigo to 300 Million American Souls on 2006.10.21, 20:42:48 PM:

Sgtmajorbrad, when I write news articles, I make an effort to be fair and balanced. However, when I write editorials, I editorialize. In other words, this is an opinion piece, it's supposed to be biased. I don't believe in the pseudo-scientific concept of "race." We're all humans here, and we come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and styles. Cultural differences, which are often mistaken for manifestations of the archaic notion called "race," are based upon geography, not genetics. Resolving our immigration situation is not just a matter of compassion, it is a matter of economics, and our economy is not served by the reduction of our numbers, nor by the denial of the existence of 11-12 million people working 11-12 million jobs.
