Weezer/Notorious B.I.G./Beverly Hills Cop remix

A pretty good mashup. Sometimes the Beverly Hills Cop stuff seems to clash (during the chorus it seems that there is just too much going on).

But listen up anyway.

I'm a sucker for mash-ups, truth be told.

It's 5:30 on a Saturday. Do you know where your governor is?

The Associated Press attempted to find out where the governors in 40 US states were as of yesterday. This is, of course, in response to the Mark Sanford saga that eventually found him having flown to Argentina for a week to be with his mistress.

Where the governors were wasn't all that exciting. But what was more interesting is how many of their offices refuse to release their public schedules -- you'd think that is something that they would put on their websites in most cases.

Instead, they try to hide the most basic thing about their jobs -- where and with whom they are meeting on state's business.

No wonder Sanford thought that he could get away with something like flying to Argentina to be with his mistress.

Ambushing O'Reilly's ambushers

One of Bill O'Reilly's favorite techniques is the 'ambush' where an O'Reilly staffer runs up to someone with a camera crew and asks them misleading and accusatory questions.

On the Media tagged along with Gawker while they tried to ambush Jesse Watters -- O'Reilly's ambusher. After a discussion of the O'Reilly team's tactics.

Former mayor arrested for public nudity

Luckily every time that I've been camping, I've never seen anyone lounging around naked. So it's a good thing that I wasn't camping in Rabun County.

Authorities arrested Mark Musselwhite and charged him with public indecency last weekend after state Department of Natural Resources officers found him sitting nude at his Rabun County campsite.

Officers had received a complaint about a naked man walking along a nearby road earlier in the day, but the 43-year-old Musselwhite said he was not the same man. Musselwhite told the DNR officer he had been swimming in a nearby creek.

Musselwhite was the mayor of Gainesville. He had a failed state senate run as well, and that will probably be his last elected run.

Cubs manager "I smoked weed too"

Yesterday, the news came out that Cubs catcher Geovany Soto tested positive for marijuana at the World Baseball Classic earlier this year.

This caused him to be banned from international competition for two years. However, the Cubs player can continue to play in Major League Baseball, where he makes his money.

And, to help things out, he has the support of his manager, Lou Piniella. In large part because Piniella announced today that he experimented with weed as well:

"Look, I have smoked dope one time in my life," Piniella said before the Cubs faced the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field. "And it didn't do a damn thing for me, and I never tried it again. I'm fortunate because of that. A lot of people do. You can even buy it in California from a pharmacy.

The Cubs played their cross-town rivals the Chicago Whtei Sox on Friday. And the White Sox manager also had Soto's back:

"It takes a man to admit mistakes. He's not the only one doing that. But he's the only one admitted to come out and say that. I wish more players come out and make this an example. He just made a mistake. He did something he wasn't supposed to do. Meanwhile, I tip my hat to him because when you make a mistake and admit it, you move on."

Soto said it was an isolated incident. But does anyone really believe that?

Booker T and the Drive By Truckers playing "Green Onions"

Green Onions is definitely one of the coolest song ever made. And Booker T, the writer of the song, recently played the song live with the Drive By Truckers.

Netflix $1 million prize might be won soon

Pretty cool, from Mashable:

If you haven’t been following closely, you’re probably wondering what this $1 million contest is all about. On October 2, 2006 Netflix announced the Netflix Prize, a contest designed to draw aggressive competition for improving upon their already widely recognized movie recommendation engine. Simply put, they would award the $1 million prize to the first person to improve accuracy of movie recommendations by at least 10 percent (see full rules for more details).

A team that includes AT&T engineers might be the ones to win that prize.

The bible of baseball cards

Via, again, NewMexiKen.

The LA Times has a story about The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book" today.

Long ago, when children were allowed to wander from their parents' side for more than 15 minutes, I spent much of my free time accumulating baseball cards.

After school, my buddy Adam Rogers and I would stroll to the candy store and buy multiple packs. We'd sit on a stoop near his apartment, tear open the wrappers, and debate the merits of each player until it grew dark.

I used to collect baseball cards but, for whatever reason, basketball cards were what my brother and I collected the most.

We did care about how much cards cost, hoping that we would get that magical card that was worth $100 or even $1,000. We never did. We would buy Beckett magazines to see how much our cards were worth. Our best card was a card worth $17 -- a "Super Soph" Vin Baker card.

Yeah, that Vin Baker career didn't work out so much.
