I'm Tryin' to Get on the Other Side of Town

Congratulations to Ben Grant for correctly naming "Sloop John B." as the Tuesday Song of the Day. The final Final was completed yesterday and now I am just enjoying the life of a college student awaiting graduation on Saturday.

I'll have another retrospective/sentimental post later today, but for right now, I would like to provide another plug for the Sports Guy, who has a brilliant idea in his latest column.

Now, I've never been someone who understood the great appeal of fantasy sports but I have friends that do. Maybe this is embarrassing, but I have friends who are members of fantasy tennis and pro wrestling leagues. Perhaps some would respond with suggestions of recuperative therapy for these unnamed friends of mine, but I really think that the Sports Guy's suggestion of a possible Us Weekly fantasy league could lead to a new world of enjoying sports, entertainment, and politics.

How about a fantasy league for the U.S. Senate? Imagine this conversation: "Guess what, I just picked up Barack Obama off the waiver wire this week and he already participated in three filibusters. What a steal!" This could be huge. I'm not sure what I need to do about copyrighting this idea for a political fantasy league, but if anyone knows the name of a good intellectual property lawyer, I would love to have it.
