Magic 8 Ball

by

While we are rebuilding our shattered e-world, we Chicago Boyz manifest our stolid determination to overcome all disasters by singing jolly tunes as we e-dig out of the e-rubble and begin e-rebuilding this site. Let me share with our dear readers a particularly apropos tune to help restore a tired but sincere smile to their lips, evidencing interior serenity and joy, in these troubled times.

This page has a link over on the right to the song Magic 8 Ball by cub. You should listen to it. More than once. It is good. It is catchy. It is sweet but not cloying. It has a killer chorus. It is a neglected classic. You should then not resist the urge to sing it tomorrow morning while bathing or driving in your car. You should not be alarmed when it lodges in your brain and won’t get out. You should ask yourself, is that a great song, or what?

Decidedly so.

Hardball freak-out

Watched “Hardball” with Chris Matthews other night when he had Katrina Vanden Heuvel, Steven Hayes, and Celia Sandys, granddaughter of Sir Winston Churchill as guests. I was laughing out loud watching Vanden Huevel’s head almost pop off, raving about how George Bush has committed high crimes by lying to the country and dragging the U. S. into war. I encourage you to read the show transcript
The exchange I refer to is in the lower third of the page. See the fun you miss when you do not watch TV Lex?

Welcome to Our New Site

Last night, Blogger updated its user interface for our account. This morning, Sylvain logged in to post something. Apparently he forgot to sacrifice a goat or say the proper blessing, because the entire contents of the ChicagoBoyz blog, going back to Sept. 2001, disappeared. (The template is still there.) I am not inclined to wait for a resolution of whatever the problem is, so I decided to move the blog to this new site, which we were going to do soon anyway. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to transfer the old site’s archives, but I am working on it.

I apologize for any inconvenience to readers. I suspect, however, that your ChicagoBoyz blog viewing experience will be smoother on this new site than it was on Blogger. Don’t forget to update your links.

Thanks.
