Well, I Feel So Broke Up, I Wanna Go Home

Congratulations to Mr. Joseph Halbert and Mr. Jeremy Masten for correctly naming "Champagne Supernova" from the Oasis album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? as the Wednesday Song of the Day.

There is an episode in Season 3 of The Office where Michael happily informs Jan that no one at the Scranton branch of Dunder-Mifflin is disgruntled with the company, but much to the contrary, everyone at the Scranton branch is extremely "gruntled".

Well, it seems that a group of Liverpool supporters is not quite "gruntled" with the fact that Tom Hicks and George Gillette still own the club:
Liverpool's American owners are facing a new takeover bid -- from frustrated fans. The longshot member-share scheme, set to be launched Thursday, aims to raise an estimated $1 billion to oust Tom Hicks of Dallas and George Gillett Jr. of Vail, Colo., and fund a new stadium. Inspired by the FC Barcelona model, the group -- Share Liverpool FC -- will appeal for 100,000 fans to each contribute up to $10,000.

"Liverpool Fans Trying to Buy Out American Owners" from the Associated Press.

I realize I engaged in a little panhandling last year to acquire the "Jesus Hates the Yankees" t-shirt, but is there any chance that someone has $10,000 just lying around that they wouldn't mind sending in my general direction?

Anyone?

Bueller?

Anyone?

P.S. Sorry about West Ham. At least when (if) your team finishes in fourth place in football, it's not last place like the Rangers.

I'm getting rather disgruntled at the lack of new Michael Scott quotes.
