Study: Math Profs Are Huge Nerds
I remember seeing my English professor walking in a 3-man circle with a picket railing against Afghanistan in between classes. Nothing wrong with free speech and expression of dissent, but I remember thinking it undignified and unbecoming of an intellectual to publicly parade his sentiments in the style of a Union Square hobo. But hey, 100 years from now, this guy will be lauded as math reformer. They'll be building statues to him in the United States of Iraq while Bohemigrant's bits and bytes crumble in a void of online oblivion like a stale chocolate-chip cookie.

Santana a met
Johan Santana a met? It seems a tentative agreement has been reached between the Mets and the Twins. Santana's agent has to agree to a deal with the Mets before the trade is official.
I was just listening to Steve Summers on WFAN when a string of Yankee fans called in and complained. "CASHMAN SHOULD BE FIRED! WHY DIDN'T THEY TRADE HUGHES AND KENNEDY! SANTANA'S THE BEST PITCHER IN THE LEAGUE!"
It's morons like these that that make the Yankee fans look like spoiled jerks. Hughes and Kennedy proved themselves to be possible number 1 starters for years to come. Santana (who isn't a big guy) is clearly on the decline, and not only that, he will want a 6 or 7 year contract. NONE of those contracts turn out well. Remember the Dodgers and Kevin Brown? or the Giants and Barry Zito?
I'm glad Santana didn't go to Boston.

What's Eating Vermont?
The state is admittedly a beautiful place to ski. But what's in that Ben 'n Jerry's, yo?

This looks like the work of no-good punk kids
I am definitely getting old, cause this would definitely bring out a south asian-bashing tirade out of me now.

What the Heck?
So Cruise is finally losing it over the Web. What to think of this? Why are respectable celebrities so drawn to the cult of the Scientist? John Travolta? Anne Archer? Beck? Nancy Cartwright (Bart Simpson)? Chick Corea? Doug E. Fresh? Paul Haggis? Jason Lee? Juliette Lewis? What, even funnyman Jerry Seinfeld dabbled a few years back? 'Tis true! Hear yee, hear yee!

Politicking
This being 2008, Bohemigrant Blog will predictably devote a good amount of blogspace to presidential politics. Few public spectacles are as entertaining or, dare I say it, exciting. We have, for the first time, the possibility of a woman or a black man becoming leader of the (for the time being) free world. We also have the clear and present menace of a populist huckster pitching his patronizing sermons on wealth disparity.
On the republican side, we have a bona fide war hero with principles, a celebrity mayor whose common-sense politics don't fit his party's mantra, an unctuous, joke-cracking preacher, and a morphing Mormon opportunist. Sadly, the possibility of a Huckabee- or Romney-Edwards election is all too real, denying Bohemigrant an opportunity to vote in his first presidential campaign ever.
Still, with mounting suspense (see Bloomberg's teasing maneuvers), we should have one of the most exciting elections to date. And we're off!
