This history of action post brought to you by an awesome book, "the story of sushi - an unlikely saga of raw fish and rice" by Trevor Corson (if you like sushi, you will love this book!) And now on to the history... of action: Sushi chefs began categorizing fish by color and shine in the early 1900s: red, white and blue. Red is a narrow category of blood-red meat fish - primarily tuna (and

Dear Chicago Cubs Management: Please trade Ted Lilly.  Your lack of run support is staining his stellar season, your losing prowess - howevever lovable - is provoking his pessimistic psyche, and further your failure of a franchise is fizzling my fantasy baseball future.  Sincerely, Doctor Action

Still upset about the Decision?  Angry at Lebron?  Why?  Because Cleveland won the lottery the year Lebron entered the draft, and drafted him, and he played for that crazy-man-owner for 7 years - therefore he had an obligation to the team, the city, the fans. That's bullshit. Its not like Cleveland gave Lebron a chance when no one else would. Its not like Udonis Haslem, who went undrafted and

i don't mean to be insensitive to Clevelanders, but i'm intrigued by a few things in this Lebronfest: 1) Dan Gilbert. although i find it to be in extremely poor form, this diatribe is amazing: http://www.cavs.com/. my question is, why the fuck didn't he channel some of that passion toward trying to keep Lebron (something similar to the We Want Wade campaign orchestrated by Pat

"Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" Gary Coleman, best known as Arnold Jackson in the hit sitcom 'Diff'rent Strokes', has passed away.

A highlight of Coachella 2010 was Jay-Z (not the highlight, but a highlight, along with Gorillaz, Pavement, Thom Yorke and Flea, Muse, LCD Soundsystem, Coheed and Cambria, Faith No More, ...), but it was thoroughly confusing when Jayz whipped out a sort-of-performance of Wonderwall. The crowd enjoyed it but there had to be a backstory. As it turns out, the backstory dates back to Glastonbury

Daft Punk is a pretty cool band from France. Little known fact from the depths of wikipedia: the members of Daft Punk, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, were previously in a band called Darlin'. The third member of Darlin' was Laurent Brancowitz. After a negative review in Melody Maker dubbed Darlin's tunes, "a bunch of daft punk" the band broke up... Guy-Manuel and Thomas

The song is outrageous. One of the best of all time. And its from the 90's (1997). Listening to it, it doesn't sound like a song from the 90's. To experience Radiohead perform this live is breathtaking, and impressive. Listen to the studio version, and then think about how that could possibly translate to a live performance, and then watch the live performance.Click here to listen to studio

Steve Martin burst on to the cinema screen in 1979 as The Jerk. By 1986, Martin was straight-up balling when he starred with the SNL trifecta in the hilarious Three Amigos! The next five years represented one heck of a run as Martin became the hitman; everything he touched turned to gold. Then, in 1991, it all came crashing down as Martin got all serious and stuff and took a roll in the drama,

Open letter to Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbon, co-hosts of PTI:Gents, During your 11/19 show, which I listened to on podcast while on business in Shanghai, you discussed Rich Rodriguez's comments to Michigan fans to "get a life."  As you may or may not know, the AP article documenting this "rant" by Rodriguez placed Rich Rod's quote entirely out of context.  In fact, Rich Rod praised fans

In California there is an initiative called "Proposition 8" on the ballot which, if passed, would reverse a recent decision by the California Supreme Court holding that individuals of the same sex have the right to marry under the California Constitution. Seems fairly harmless, right? Wrong - this video explains why allowing gay marriage is unacceptable. This ad really fired me up, not only

(from the WSJ, via the Big Picture)On Charlie Rose a few weeks ago, Warren Buffet expressed an expectation that a turnaround of the U.S. financial market would take a minimum of six months (best case scenario), two years (likely scenario), or five years (worst case scenario).  A big believer in Buffet and America (F-yeah), this will turn around and our economy will again experience great success.

Always among my favorite updates to pop up on google reader is economics blog, The Big Picture.  Light and fluffy at times but mostly dense, the big picture posts reasonable, rational commentary on the world of finance that at least I can understand.  Check it out sometime, and if you are not already balling Google Reader, you are snoozin'.

CubanWould Reuben destroy Cuban; will a group of Cuban's form a group called Cuban's for Reuban's; will Jews and Cubans make love and produce Jewban's?  Would a Jewban, a combination of a Reuban and a Cuban, be more delicious than a Reuban or a Cuban?  Vote now (at top right of this page) and tell you're friends.  And feel free to comment.

When you have an action packed schedule like the Dr. does, its inevitable that many a great show will be missed.  Fortunately, the world wide web affords ample opportunities to catch up on past performances, for free.  From a catalogue of Pearl Jam performances ranging from a 1990 show in Seattle to the present, to an eclectic offering of recent performances recorded in the Nation's capital

A June 30, 2008 article in the New York Times introduced a newly designed milk jug and explained that many consumers are not happy with the new jugs. Getting past the obvious - who isn't happy with new jugs? - leads to the more obvious: why are Americans such morons?The newly designed jugs are cheaper to ship, better for the environment, and allow the shipment of fresher, less expensive milk.
