Pitching coach Brad Arnsberg out, Doug Brocail in.
I haven’t been doing the regular updates I did last year (I was planning to do a bottom feeders roundup at the All-Star break) but if current trends continue, the Astros are on track to lose 100 games this year.
Remember the “Gay Girl in Damascus” story we linked on Sunday?
If you clicked through to the WP link, you may have noticed, but not thought much about, the mention of Paula Brooks, editor of “Lez Get Real”, a lesbian news Web site based in Washington.
You probably see the punchline coming at this point, but we have to carry on.
“Paula Brooks” is actually a 58-year-old male construction worker from Ohio.
We’re kind of wondering if the WP is going to make outing lesbian bloggers who aren’t lesbians (or female) a trend, or if this was just, as “Paula Brooks” puts it, “a major sock-puppet hoax crash into a major sock-puppet hoax”. We kind of hope for the former, as it provides more entertainment than the WP‘s gun coverage.
Ben Wilson is an artist in England.
His medium is acrylic enamel…and used chewing gum stuck to the sidewalk.
I’m not mocking Mr. Wilson: the few examples of his work shown with the article are rather pleasing to me, particularly the Millennium Bridge one.
