Monday Madness (The post-hurricane edition!)

Welcome to Monday Madness, the safest place to be after a hurricane.

The big news of the weekend in New York turned out to be a dud. When I woke up yesterday morning, Irene was gone. I’m actually not sure if she was ever here.

Yes, there are a few signs that Hurricane Irene paid a visit to my neighborhood last night – a few puddles and a leaning potted plant on our rooftop – but the remnants here in New York looked a lot more like what we refer to in Texas as “a storm.” (Or, I should say, what we used to refer to as a storm before the drought started.)

Now I have to drink all of these bottles of water, and then take the empty bottles back to Rite Aid to get my “bottle deposit” back. It’s a weird thing they have in New York to incentivize recycling. Yeah, it was only $1.20, but I’m a grad student now. I need any cash I can get.

Quick Hits:

  • Speaking of cash, New York seems to be the one city where cash is still king. Normally, I’m suspicious of restaurants that don’t take debit cards. What is this, 1994?
  • Speaking of 1994, my Internet connection is actually running at speeds comparable to dial-up on most days. Turns out that using slow Internet is more frustrating than not using the Internet at all.
  • I am now officially bored about debates over how the Drudge Report is designed. It works, people. Exceedingly well. Even when my Internet is slow. Its brilliance is its simplicity. Calm down, accept it, and move on.
  • I am also bored by Lady Gaga. Until she does what Wendy suggested and dons an actual gay man as her next awards-show dress, it’s just not interesting anymore. I see far more shocking things on the subway every day.
  • Why is it still ESPN.go.com? Sure, Go.com is owned by Disney and whatnot, but have you ever visited that site? There is nothing there. It’s like a vacant lot with a few Disney street vendors quietly and politely asking if you’d like to buy some merchandise.
  • The Dallas Cowboys cut Andre Gurode. Still worse for Gurode? That time Albert Haynesworth stomped on Gurode’s head and cut the Cowboys center’s forehead open. See? Things could be worse.
  • I am beginning to see ads promoting “Moneyball,” which is a movie that stars Brad Pitt as Oakland Athletics General Manager Billy Beane. Is this a prelude to a presidential bid by Beane? Probably not, but read my case for Beane and others by clicking here.
  • Ever notice how “Gentleman’s Quarterly” is a lot like a “Gentleman’s Club” in that both seem most interested in promoting scantily clad women? We’re only a few years away from “gentleman” meaning “manwhore.” This is not a positive development for many actual gentlemen.
  • Hebrew National has the best grocery scam going these days. Seven hot dogs in a pack? Well, you can’t let that last hot dog bun go to waste. You’ll have to buy another pack of hot dogs.

This Hurricane never showed up at an appointment in Manhattan. It is feared dead.

One more thought: It’s interesting how the news media seemingly came to the realization today that, “oh yeah, that hurricane affected other areas that aren’t in New York City!” Or, at least, “oh yeah, there are areas outside of New York City!”

They f***ing said it

“Disasters bring out the best in Geraldo. His mustache is fully erect and ready.” – My dad, Scott Hallman, on Geraldo Rivera.

“It doesn’t taste great,” TV reporter Tucker Barnes after being covered in raw sewage while covering the hurricane.

“It’s so obvious The Weather Channel is pro hurricane. Fair and balanced my ass.” – Jim Gaffigan on Twitter.

Monday Madness! (Aug. 22)

Hello there, and welcome to Monday Madness, where threats of fines for litterbugs clearly stop nobody in New York.

That’s right, in case you didn’t read my post yesterday, I am in New York City now. So, that’s a good time. I do miss D.C., especially after watching All the Presidents Men for the first time in two years (and recognizing every place they went in D.C.), but I am enjoying the new adventure so far.

Here are some of my links from my last week at The Dallas Morning News D.C. bureau: Horses worse off since Congress stopped slaughter for meat in the U.S., report says. (That one appeared in The Boston Herald, the Sacramento Beeand a few others. Those don’t require subscriptions. Hint hint.); Out-of-state university plates find few fans among Texas drivers; Perry provides a boost for the button business; Dallas Rep. Jeb Hensarling to help lead committee on spending cuts; and Rep. Michael Burgess clarifies comments about possible Obama impeachment.

Subscription required. Enjoy. Now, let’s resume:

Quick hits:

  • First of all, a big shout-out to my brother Shawn, who just went through a harrowing ordeal and came out with a few bruises. Glad you’re okay, buddy. I’ve been there.
  • I was apparently mentioned in the recent St. Edward’s commencement speech in August as someone who is accomplishing things. I’ve only been out of school for three months! Flattering, but I think they can probably wait.
  • I sometimes imagine that the disembodied male voice of the NYC Subway (transit system, not the restaurant) and the disembodied female voice have a sexual tension between them. I mean, they are trying to keep it professional, but when you work that closely together, what are two disembodied voices to do? (“Staaand clear of the closing doooors, please!”)
  • Even though I am now in grad school for journalism, I feel so disconnected from the news now. Who has time to read the news while reporting it?
  • If you charge for drink refills, your restaurant probably sucks. Good rule of thirsty thumb.
  • Somewhere, William Shatner is probably shouting: “dominiquestraussKAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHNNNNNN!!!!”
  • Is it weird that I think Deron Williams is a jerk because he hogs the ball in NBA 2K11?
  • I just realized I will be in New York during football season. That should be awesome since I hate the Jets and the Giants. Then again, I also hate the Yankees. And the Mets. Why did I come here?!
  • Tomorrow, I will learn how to make a WordPress blog. Ahem. Thank God this is only orientation.

No quotes this week. Sorry. I’m too tired and, again, disconnected from the news. They will return next week. I promise. In the meantime, enjoy this photo that I plan to use again to denote these posts are over:

That's all, folks! Back to work....on my phonograph...

Monday Madness! (Aug. 8)

Hello, and welcome back to Monday Madness, where I can take prolonged absences from my blog and forget to tell anyone.

But, I am back now and almost as alive as ever, so let’s just put the past behind us and move on, shall we?

Here are some of the stories I have written since we were last together: Rick Perry’s college transcripts published by the Huffington Post; Prices of specialty license plates spike; Republicans fall in line on debt vote; many a blog post on Trail Blazers; and a few others I can’t find.

While I look for them, enjoy the rest of the Madness.

Quick Hits:

  • I saw a TSA agent on the Metro today. I think she was undressing me with her eyes. Also, her full body scanner.
  • Winning the lottery is apparently easier than I thought. All you need is a Ph.D. in statistics from Stanford.
  • I don’t care for Shark Week. There. I said it. And it feels good to get it off my chest. Feel free to act as appalled as you do when I mention that I haven’t read the final three Harry Potter books.
  • With the New England Patriots signing every player with bad off-the-field reputations that they can get their hands on, how long until they hire O.J. as a personnel consultant?
  • Speaking of the Patriots and players with character issues, enjoy this Strongside/Weakside from The Onion on Randy Moss.
  • The debt debate gave me one of my favorite terms of all time: “Sugar-coated Satan Sandwich.” It’s so deliciously bad. First of all, it’s clear that Rep. Emanuel Cleaver has never heard of “The Broodwich,” which is the most evil sandwich ever created. Secondly, nobody eats a sugar-coated sandwich. Not even an ice cream sandwich is “coated” in sugar. Sandwiches aren’t candy. Still, I love it and I look forward to using the term in future conversations.
  • From an exchange my friend Luis and I had on Twitter: Don’t miss the new album “NSA: No Such Album” from the Department of Homeland Obscurity! (Someone really should create this band. It’s too perfect not to happen).

“I can only hear crickets when I click on Myspace” — Scott Hallman

“And it’s true that I turn 50 tomorrow — which means that by the time I wake up, I’ll have an e-mail from AARP — asking me to call President Obama and tell him to protect Medicare.” — President Barack Obama (side note: One time I semi-jokingly asked an AARP employee who I met in Austin if he could take my dad off their mailing list because it made him feel old. I don’t think I have ever made another human being quite as uncomfortable as I made this gentleman in my life.)

“I’m sure with this heat Al Gore’s walking around with a smug smile.” — Jerry Seinfeld on Twitter. Also, “Roadside food signs that could also be sexual exclamations,”Sweet Local Corn!”

Monday Madness! (July 25)

Hello, and welcome to Monday Madness, where I took a MegaBus to and from New York City this weekend.

Yes, I got off the bus for awhile and, yes, it was a magical time. Now, feel free to read a Dallas Morning News story that I wrote about a women’s restroom before I left for the weekend.

Let’s get to it.

Quick hits:

  • The New York Subway system has a male voice that tells you in a delightfully chipper — yet somewhat creepy — manner to “Stand clear of the closing doors, please.” That beats the very professional female, “Step back, doors closing” in D.C. any day.
  • Subway stations come out of nowhere in New York. They could be lurking around any corner at any moment. Stay vigilant.
  • For one brief night, I felt like a God thanks to my acquired powers on the MegaBus. For some reason, the light switch at my seat controlled not just my overhead light, but everyone’s overhead lights in my row. Did I abuse this power? Yeah, a little bit.
  • The NFL Lockout is finally over. Just when I thought there wasn’t going to be enough Chad Ochocinco in my life this year. Phew.
  • Roger Goodell should have introduced a priest today to say a variation of those words that Catholics have grown accustomed to hearing before football starts on Sundays: “The Lockout has ended. Let us go in peace. (cue organ music)”
  • Possible NFL Prospect? A Chicago police officer with good hands caught a baby that was thrown at him during an incident.
  • Google+ requires you to use your real name, something a Google executive said was akin to a restaurant requiring a shirt. Better idea: require everyone to wear a shirt in their pictures. I’m looking at you, New Jersey.

Monday Madness (July 18)

Good evening everyone and welcome to Monday Madness, where my roommates finally stopped stir-frying long enough to allow me to get to the oven to cook my frozen pizza.

First things first, a story that I wrote made the front page of The Dallas Morning News on Saturday (As always, subscription required).
I also wrote three stories about light bulbs, including this one, since last Sunday (subscription actually not required).

And, among other things, I wrote about a former Texas congressman who stole photos from The Dallas Morning News in the 1970s and about the congressional baseball game. An newer version of the former will be in print tomorrow.

Quick Hits:

  • Borders is finally giving up and liquidating, which is horrible news. But the good news will be if there is a massive clearance sale at the Borders in Silver Spring. That’s how I got “Whiter Shade of Pale” by Christian Lander for pennies on the dollar.
  • My brother is right about Taco Bell’s hot sauce packets: They are too friendly. They need to at least take a more business casual approach.
  • James Harrison is a crazy person. Not only did he trash his teammates for no apparent reason, he threatened to retire early when he was fined by the NFL for some dirty hits with his helmet and even said this, according to ESPN: “And if my agent hadn’t have said, ‘You’ll have to pay back six mill,’ I’d've been out the game and not looked back.” Ah yes, so it’s all about the money and injuring people. Nothing about your teammates or trying to win or be the best? No? Very good then.
  • C-SPAN hosts must be the world’s most unflappable people. Watch them on call-in shows and you will see what I mean.
  • I can’t figure out why Subway and Quizno’s have released competing pulled pork barbecue sandwiches out of the blue, but I am all for it.
  • I don’t think Justin Timberlake or Mila Kunis should be allowed to promote their new movie since it already came out a few months ago and starred Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher. Was there a rift on the set of Black Swan that created this debacle?
  • Speaking of movie promotions, there is a convenience store in College Park that still has “Fever Pitch” promotional posters in its window.

“Investigators say the thieves likely knew they were cutting into a live hot-wire but did it anyway,” from an AP Story about copper wire thieves, who are apparently also morons.

“He’s clearly one of the intellectual uncles of the Tea Party movement, and that bunch clearly has many Republican politicians crying uncle.” — Ross Ramsey on Ron Paul in The Texas Tribune.

In closing, I would like to request that you please do your best to avoid tin-ear clichés about barbecue, cattle, oil, football, and the Alamo. Remember, this is an urban state of 25 million people. We don’t go to sleep at night dreaming of William Barret Travis drawing a line in the sand.” — Paul Burka instructing journalists on how to cover Rick Perry.

“If you really want to know what a campaign’s up to, follow the buttons… follow the buttons,” — James Armstrong, who received a Perry for President button by mistake after ordering a Perry for Governor 2010 button.

Monday Madness! (July 11)

Welcome to this week’s Monday Madness, where you can wait all day for a House vote on a light bulb bill that gets delayed until Tuesday.

One of my stories ran on Sunday and an editorial ran with my name in it (referencing a story I did about ICE audits). I don’t have the link to it. Remember, you can always follow my real exploits on the Trail Blazers Blog.

  • Congratulations to my sister Carly, who, today, became one of our nation’s exports to China. One step closer to closing that trade deficit!
  • And congratulations to my brother Shawn, whose band, The Zig Zag Illusion, is playing another show at Red Eyed Fly on July 16. Be there.
  • Super 8 is Stand by Me meets E.T. meets Cloverfield, in case you were wondering. That’s not a bad thing either.
  • On the Metro, there is an ad for George Washington University Hospital that reads, “VIPs Trust GW Hospital for Heart Care. I can’t figure out why the for is italicized. Saying it out loud with emphasis only makes it sound dumber.
  • Before Derek Jeter got career hit number 3,000 on a home run on a 5-for-5 day at the plate, George Brett said Jeter’s 3,000th hit would be the most difficult one. I want George Brett to tell me things will be difficult now. How about something like, “Tristan, winning the Mega Millions jackpot is really difficult”? Or, “Tristan, it would be really difficult for you to suddenly throw 95 miles-per-hour and pitch for the Padres.” I’m waiting, George.
  • The guy who caught Jeter’s home run ball gave it back to Jeter (even though it was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and the guy was 23 with a bunch of student loans). In return, he got some autographed memorabilia and season tickets for the remainder of the year. Couldn’t he have asked the Yankees to pay off his student loans or something too? Or at least had the Yankees try to contact George Brett to tell him winning the lottery would be difficult?
  • I am missing tonight’s home run derby due to lack of cable. If the Home Run Derby has taught me one thing over the years, it’s that drugs are good. If it’s taught me another thing, it’s that Chris Berman’s Home Run Derby act was starting to get a little stale…in 2002.

NBA 2K11 (no, they didn’t pay to sponsor this. Although if they want to, I’d be willing to negotiate a deal). Why? Because it keeps me occupied when I’m not working and it will give people something to do during the NBA lockout.

.

Are you really sure?

They f***ing said it:

“It brings me back to when the federal government almost shut down this year and President Obama warned that the obnoxious Cherry Blossom Parade might be canceled. ‘Not the Cherry Blossoms!!!’ read one memorable Express cover. Indeed.” — Express sports columnist Matt Swenson on the NFL preseason possibly getting cut short as a result of the lockout.

“Everybody was amazed that he was so big…I don’t think too many people have heard of having a 16-pound baby.” — Janet Johnson, a 39-year-old East Texas woman who gave birth to a 16-pound baby and lived to tell about it.

“Battle of the Bulb” — Every friggin’ light bulb-legislation-related headline in the past few days. Except for mine! Ha!

Monday Madness! (on America’s birthday!)

Welcome to the July 4 edition of Monday Madness! I’d promise fireworks in this week’s blog, but, unfortunately, there is a burn ban in effect. You have to expect the occasional droughts in this series of tubes known as the Internets.

Two of my stories ran in the Dallas Morning News during the weekend that you may have missed because you stopped reading newspapers and focused on a steady diet of Perez Hilton and YouTube videos.

Here they are: the first one and the second one (subscription required).

Now, for the rest of the business.

Quick Hits:

  • Nobody from the Nationals has contacted me yet regarding the managerial job. I may switch my focus to becoming the new Los Angeles Dodgers owner instead. Now, I just need some investors….
  • There was a short blurb in Express on Friday explaining that firefighters had to remove a man’s hand from his gas tank. He apparently stuck it in there because “someone” put an unwrapped Snickers bar in the tank and he was trying to retrieve it. And then the story ended! It’s crying for more reporting! So many unanswered questions.
  • It’s a good thing Google+ came along because I always hoped a company with an even more atrocious privacy record would challenge Facebook in social media.
  • Speaking of social media, keep an eye on MySpace.com. Newscorp has been trying to sell it and the asking price continues to drop. If it goes low enough, you might be able to buy yourself a nice antique domain name. It could be a great conversation piece.
  • I am going to see Little Richard later today. If Bruno Mars grew a mustache, he would be a creepier Little Richard. And that is just not okay.
  • I hope they lightened Jimmy Smits’ caffeine intake today. Last year, he was practically ready to explode.

(Because I don’t have any real sponsors)

The signing of the Declaration of Independence. (It was summer, and hot, and Benjamin Franklin loved his sweets.)

They f***ing said it:

“I didn’t know then what I have learned since. That America always has been better than its government, that its people have always been more decent than their presidents and that the strength and greatness of this nation lies in them, the men and women who are not great and who never will be.” — Roger Simon.

“America is the Marcia Brady of the global community. Everyone remembers her birthday, but not the birthdays of other countries. Also, America gets hit in the nose with a football and asked out on lots of dates by hunks. Happy birthday, Jan Botswana!” — Carly Hallman on America’s birthday.

“Happy 4th of July” — Just about everyone today. Have a good one.

Monday Madness!

Welcome once again to Monday Madness, the only place where someone will admit that their St. Edward’s Capstone paper helped them in the real world.

Yes, that’s right, my Capstone paper (on gambling in Texas) actually helped me write this story for The Dallas Morning News (as always, subscription required).

I also wrote this story, but Capstone didn’t help me at all with it.

Upcoming in this blog: Look for a new regular feature, ‘Wednesdays with Wendy” on…Wednesday.

Quick Hits:

  • Sorry, University of Maryland, I just can’t “Fear the Turtle.” When I see it, my immediate thought is “…why?” It’s a turtle. Not even a snapping turtle could chase me down if I walked briskly.
  • If you have a few minutes, vote for my brother’s band, The Zig Zag Illusion, to play at the Warped Tour. You have to register for an account, but it’s free, and you know you’ve registered for worse things on the Internets. You’ll be making a tall 20-year-old boy’s dreams come true.
  • I cross paths with Dennis Kucinich every time I go to the Capitol. I think there might be Kucinich clones running around the House side of the building.
  • Is the world ready for another Charlie Sheen-anchored TV show? Unfortunately, probably.
  • In my last Spam Mailbag, one spammer mentioned that the new X-Men movie was badass. I hadn’t seen it at the time, but now I can confirm that it is, indeed, badass. Good call, Spammer.
  • I recently discovered that there is a wrong way to eat a Reese’s. I don’t want to talk about it.

“Can you name someone named Tristan who is “great” at something? I wonder what it is like to have a doomed and/or generic name.” From a Grantland.com story about the players’ names in the NBA Draft. The author was referencing Tristan Thompson, but took all Tristans down with him.

“What?” Showalter said to him. “Did you expect to go 25-0 with a 0.00 ERA?”… “I told him I did,” Britton said. — From a Grantland.com story about Zach Britton and the Orioles.

“F*** Hamburglars.  It’s my hamburger and I want to eat it.” — Shawn Hallman on his disdain for the Hamburglar.

“For I have four little words that will exempt you from making monthly payments, as per that unnecessarily wordy/scary contract you e-signed.

Monday Madness!

Welcome to this week’s Monday Madness, where I have been to the White House in real life and on NBA 2K11 (after winning a championship).

Here are two Dallas Morning News stories I did this week (subscription required): http://dallasne.ws/lk594V and http://dallasne.ws/mCkuD6

Quick hits:

  • I’m thinking about going to an Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Not because I have a drinking problem — I don’t — I just want to expand my social circle. If things go well, maybe I’ll invite them to drinks afterward.
  • MC Hammer on August 26 in Shreveport, La., and I am missing it?! Life can be cruel sometimes.
  • The guards at the Capitol are actually cool people. But I’m not saying that they won’t shoot you if they have to. They will.
  • Now that Anthony Weiner is gone, who has the funniest name in Congress? It’s got to be John Boehner, right? I know it’s pronounced Bay-ner, but it isn’t spelled that way.
  • No matter what Luis Baez says, the French fries that are at the bottom of the bag are Bonus Fries.
  • No matter what Seth Shapiro says, it’s called “soda,” not “pop.”

“It’s unlikely the animal had an accident while trying to make like distant-cousin Rudolph.” — The Associated Press in a story about a deer that landed on a power line.

“For example, my brother used to tease me with the name Wheezy because I had mild asthma, but then he developed acid reflux and everyone started calling him Ashlee Simpson.” — Carly Hallman in Thought Catalog.

“Vanilla is the best selling ice cream in the country for a reason. People know what they are going to get and they like it. It’s steady, it’s stable and it’s seasoned.” — Tim Pawlenty when asked about being bland on Fox.

Monday Madness!

Here is the first edition of Monday Madness, a collection of random thoughts and links and such.

My first byline in The Dallas Morning News (subscription required): Obama administration may approve Texas voter ID law to avoid court review, experts say — http://bit.ly/iiG25G (don’t worry, I’m not Rick Rolling you. Or am I? Click to find out!)

Another byline is coming soon…

If you are in Austin, my brother Shawn and his band, The Zig Zag Illusion, are playing at The Beauty Bar on E. 7th Street on Tuesday night. Check them out!

Lessons of the Week:

  • Sometimes Politico’s BREAKING NEWS e-mail alerts aren’t really BREAKING NEWS.
  • No matter what your political views, Marine One is just plain cool.
  • Thanks to White House press pool reports, I know every mundane detail of every presidential event.
  • Just because your apartment is furnished doesn’t mean it is furnished well.
  • To follow up on that last point, sometimes dressers can’t support the weight of a few pairs of pants.
  • Tyson Chandler probably just fouled someone somewhere.
  • Sometimes, the King is the Fool.
  • My fantasy baseball players have great days if I go to see them in person (Ben Zobrist, Nick Markakis, Mark Reynolds on Saturday night). Maybe it’s that extra motivation they need when the millions of dollars and careers playing baseball all day just aren’t doing it for them like they used to.
  • The Metro is kind of a rip-off, but you do get to see women with legit mustaches sometimes.
