Mays Landing or McKee City?

Frantic City opens today; thank you, Lord, for keeping this place alive somehow. This place and Delaware Park, even with the slot banditsz. You can burn down and demolish both Garden States, renovate Keystone, make hipstersz wonder about Liberty Bell & Brandywine (chariotsz!), but please don’t knock down dear old Atlantic City Race Course. It has to survive. Continue reading →

Scrambling for the numbers, scrambling. Textured, crunchy, idiosyncratic. Not Socialist Tables of Parsz. The imperfections set it apart. So close now, you will have them before you know they’re not there. Thank you for your patience. Continue reading →

Tuesday Sniping: Another Stunning RvP Volley Edition

20/20

Perfect Vision

Done and dusted as they say in that part of the world. Glory, glory Man Utd.! Twenty titles now, the most recent wrapped up yesterday at Old Trafford, and it was a fitting coronation for Sir Alex and the rest of his Red Devilsz. Leading the charge was the North London Quisling, one Mistah Robin van Persie, who had his hat-trick inside the first half-hour of play. Eight months earlier, Sir Alex demanded the Bros. Glazer deposit all of £24M into the well-guarded, tightly controlled exchequer of the stingy, miserly, pence-pinching Arsenal F.C., and Good Knight Ferguson promptly rescued the damsel (damn sell!) in distress v. Persie from the Dickensian, Micawberian misery of Life at The Emirates. By now, Piers Morgan must be ready to hang himself, or else throw himself in front of one of those double-decker buses, the kind all done up in Arsenal Bright-Red. Now, what’s all this talk about the NFL draft? Continue reading →

Monday Boxing: Quiet-Week Edition

Posted on April 22, 2013 by Steven Unite

These have a chance to do OK. How come? Touting is much, much easier when you have the entire field to work with; it’s difficult to leave the top three or four horseys out of the calculations and be able to connect with any regularity. Is that how it works for you? And, oh yeah, Happy Earth Day, ya Tree Loversz! Continue reading →

Hey, it’s 4/20, and you know what that means: Colorado, here we come! Watch out, State of Washington! It’s OK to inhale, Mistah Clinton! Deeply!

Not far behind that scene, or perhaps a leading Left Coast originator of it, the beautiful City of Portlandia in Oregon, and this song by one of its leading citizens. No, not that Pink Martini guy; rather, the great Malkmus, by way of Stockton, Charlottesville and New York City and a few other cities, too, probably.

It’s been that sort of week; we need to hear something poppy, something innocent. Continue reading →

National Poetry Month, April, and of course T.S. Eliot was not wrong. It’s been a wicked-cruel month. And this is without any sort of invasive belligerent action on the part of the northern segment of the Inchon Peninsula! Continue reading →
