Cleveland's no more...

Hmmmm.

Cleveland's Diner, the longtime Madison breakfast institution on East Wilson Street, will soon be able to stay up late.

Telly and Beth Fatsis, who have owned Cleveland's for 13 years, will continue serving breakfast six days a week (Tuesday through Sunday), but will begin serving dinners with a Greek flavor on the same days from about 4 p.m. through 11 p.m.

Well Ok, but will the breakfast taste Greek? What do the Greeks eat for Breakfast? Can I still get an egg and cheese sandwich?

Obama leads the Wisconsin polls

Of course he does!

A poll released Monday suggests Wisconsin will continue to be a so-called “swing state” in November’s presidential election, regardless of which Democrat gets the nomination.

The poll, conducted by the University of Wisconsin Survey Center, found that in a match-up between U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., 48 percent currently support Obama to McCain’s 41 percent.

If Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., won the nomination, 47 percent of Wisconsinites would choose McCain, and 44 percent would vote for Clinton.

Way to go Sara, voice of the UW-CRs.

Sara Mikolajczak, chair of the University of Wisconsin College Republicans, said the results of the McCain-Clinton matchup reflect the electorate’s desire for a more experienced candidate.

“I’m not surprised that he beat Hillary,” she said. “I’m a little surprised about the Obama and McCain numbers, but I think people eventually will want someone with experience and who isn’t too extreme.”

Mikolajczak added she was confident McCain would beat Obama in Wisconsin in the general election, despite the results of the poll.

You know what I say though, to the snotty little liberal "green" campuses across America who are so "hungry for Obama's hope"?

Let 'em have it! Ask and you shall receive. And then wake up in January of 2010 when President Obama still hasn't ended the war and you're paying way more in taxes than you'd like so every other loser can head to the hospital on your dime.

Where the buffalo rooooaammmmm

Oh the poor buffalo.

GARDINER, Mont. (April 29) -- More than half of Yellowstone National Park's bison herd has died since last fall, forcing the government to suspend its annual slaughter program.

More than 700 of the iconic animals starved or otherwise died on the mountainsides during an unusually harsh winter, and more than 1,600 were shot by hunters or sent to slaughterhouses in a disease-control effort, according to National Park Service figures.

As a result, the park estimates its bison herd has dropped from 4,700 in November to about 2,300 today, prompting the government to halt the culling program early.

The debate on this is past my expertise. However, some bison are being slaughtered because of brucellosis, but I'd say the slaughter to "reduce competition for food" could be handled another way.

No excuses now, WI

The Supreme Court OK's photo-ID.

WASHINGTON - States can require voters to produce photo identification, the Supreme Court ruled Monday, upholding a Republican-inspired law that Democrats say will keep some poor, older and minority voters from casting ballots.

Twenty-five states require some form of ID, and the court's 6-3 decision rejecting a challenge to Indiana's strict voter ID law could encourage others to adopt their own measures. Oklahoma legislators said the decision should help them get a version approved.

Next session, folks. No excuses.

Go Hoos Go!

Wow. Lacrosse is listed under "More" in the ESPN menu online, in a list after :
Olympic Sports
Horse Racing
Breeders' Cup
Triple Crown
and Poker

Could it be any less regarded as a sport? That's too bad, because Lacrosse is one of the most exciting sports to play and watch.

And a shout-out to the Virginia women for their quality performance and win against Maryland's turtles, I mean "terps," for their third ACC Championship.

The Cavaliers stormed back from a five-goal deficit — a near-carbon copy of the Cavaliers’ comeback victory over Duke in Friday’s semifinal.

Once again Virginia went down 8-3, this time early in the second half. And once again, the Cavaliers ripped off a six-goal run to take a 9-8 lead late in regulation that Maryland, like Duke, quickly evened at 9-9.

Read the rest.

Scandal strikes the straight and narrow one!

Miley learns a grown-up photo lesson.

Miley Cyrus faces her second round of embarrassing snapshots in the past seven days. This time, she says that she is upset by how a photo shoot for Vanity Fair turned out.

Photos in the magazine show Cyrus in a provocative state. It was apparently too much for the 'Hannah Montana' star, who saw images of herself flashing her bra and posing suggestively pop up across the Internet just days ago.

"I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed," the teen superstar says in a statement to OK! about the Vanity Fair spread. "I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about."

What a load of crap. She's no longer the little girl everyone pegged her as.

If she had any concerns, she shouldn't have posed naked! Doesn't take a 15 year old to figure that one.

I suppose it's just some more material for her "memoirs" .

There are no words to describe the punishment this man deserves.

A 73-year-old man has confessed to holding his daughter captive in his home cellar for nearly 24 years and fathering seven children by her, Austrian police say.

Mr. F. has confessed to imprisoning his daughter for 24 years and having seven children with her.

1 of 3 Austrian police spokesman Franz Polzer told CNN, the man, known as Mr. F., admitted holding his daughter hostage in a windowless cell in the basement of his home for more than two decades.

Mr. F. told police that one of the children he fathered with his daughter Elisabeth F. was a twin who died. Mr. F. also admitted he burned the body of the dead child in an oven inside the house, according to Polzer.

Further DNA tests will now be carried out to confirm fatherhood, Polzer said.

It gets worse.

Elisabeth F. gave police a "psychologically and physically disturbed impression," police said in a statement.

She said her father began sexually abusing her at age 11. On August 8, 1984 -- weeks before she was reported missing -- her father enticed her into the basement, where he drugged her, put her in handcuffs and locked her in a room, she told police.

For the next 24 years, she was constantly raped by her father, resulting in the six surviving children, she said, according to the police statement.

She also told police she gave birth to twins in 1996, but one of the babies died a few days later as a result of neglect, and Mr. F. removed the infant's body and burned it.

She told police that only her father supplied her and her children with food and clothing, and that she did not think his wife knew anything about their situation

Mr. F. lived upstairs with his wife, Rosemarie F., who police said had no idea about her husband's other family living in the cellar.

Mr. F. and Rosemarie F. had adopted three of the children that he had with his daughter, according to police. He told his wife that his missing daughter had dropped the unwanted children off at the house because she could not take care of them, police said.

When Kerstin fell ill earlier this month, Mr. F. apparently told his wife and the hospital that his "missing" daughter had dropped off the sick girl on his doorstep.

I thought I was pretty good at believing the lies of men, but this takes the cake. How could the wife NOT know this was happening?

Does Austria believe in torture? I think it's appropriate here.

Baby Mama

Two words: too funny.

Say what you need to say

I'm feeling John Mayer lately.

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems
Better put them in quotations

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you’d be better off instead
If you could only

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You better know that in the end
It’s better to say too much
Than never to say what you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

DRAFT DAY!

We'll be watching this kid, no matter the # pick, but really when the season begins:



Chris Long has made his mark at UVA. His humility is well received.

15 going on 85

How inspiring. And laughable.

Miley Cyrus has reportedly inked a seven-figure deal to pen her memoirs. And none too soon. At 15, she's achieved the maturity and distance needed to reflect on her life's lessons. Although the book won't hit stores until 2009, Celebritology has obtained (wink wink) an incomplete outline of the book's proposed chapters, complete with handy descriptions.

Excuse me while I die of laughter.

She's 15!! What is this for- so the 7th graders can read it?

I suppose as long as they are actually reading, it's a good thing. And not the memoirs of a crack-whore crazy like Britney or Lindsay.

But honestly, don't feed me the bull about her maturity level. I'm almost 24 and no where near able to "reflect on my life's lessons." I'm still living it!!

A clarification. I love this man.
