THE GURGLING COD

Not. One. Penny. Ever.

A shitty week in Codland took a turn for the worse when his undergraduate alma mater decided to drop an honorary Ph.D. on a toxic rape-denying dinosaur.  If you have any connection with Washington University, and are a woman, or have mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, or friends whose civil rights you think are important, join with me in pledging not to give any money to this institution.*

Who even knew she was still alive?
*If that cash that's not going to Wash U is burning a hole in your pocket, consider Planned Parenthood, or your favorite womens' college.

Where was your MLB franchise before Clinton?

The parvenu franchise from the land of the Nazi-sympathizing beer barons needs to check itself:

DENVER -- "Rocktober," the new shorthand for the Colorado Rockies' amazing playoff run, is showing up everywhere from newspaper headlines to handmade ballpark signs. But now the team wants a trademark to keep anyone else from selling keepsakes bearing the word.

   The Rockies filed applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Oct. 4 asking for exclusive rights to the name on stuffed animals, Christmas stockings, baby booties, T-shirts, bobble-head dolls and the like.

   The filing came two days after Gov. Bill Ritter declared October would be known as "Rocktober" after the Rockies beat the San Diego Padres in 13 innings to win the wild card.

Great, except for how WCOZ, WRIF, and ten thousand other radio stations were celebrating Rocktober,  dropping Led Zep rock blocks on demand and without apology, giving away tickets to see AC/DC and Foreighner back  when baseball in Colorado was still just a bad idea. And like this.  Fuck  the Rockies -- I almost don't care who wins the ALCS, as long as they beat the Rockies.
