Views from the Waterfront 2005 Calendar
Every day here on The Dagley Dagley Daily, I offer you views of my neighborhood, New York, and the world from the Hoboken waterfront. Sometimes those views come to you in words; sometimes in pictures. Now I've distilled those views into a year's supply of spectacular views of Manhattan from this side of the Hudson. So if you're one of those forward-looking types already planning the year ahead, do it with the first annual Views from the Waterfront Calendar, available NOW for only $20.05 in our CafePress Souvenir Shoppe. Here's a sneak preview of the cover. To see more, just click anywhere on the image below:

The nerve!
I can't believe the incumbent just dared to use the word
OVERTIME!!
Is he that far gone, to draw attention to what he's done to overtime pay??? Is he TRYING to lose the debate, and hence the election?

Score one for the slackers!
“I have to utilize my discretion in what cases to handle, and in that regard I choose to devote our resources to prosecuting those who are delivering cocaine to our young people rather than underwear.”
-- Isabella County, Michigan, Prosecutor Larry Burdick
Michigan Republicans tried, but failed to get rotund rabblerouser Michael Moore arrested on bribery charges this week. They demanded he be charged with bribery for giving away Ramen noodles and/or clean underwear to self-confessed slackers who promised to register and vote. Other county prosecutors joined Burdick in declining to waste their -- or the taxpayers' -- time on the matter.
Meanwhile, Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 has broken another record: it's already the top-selling documentary ever released on home video. And it's still #1 at Amazon.

More Moore
Michael Moore is still at large, and busy. He got so many letters from our servicemen and women in Iraq that he compiled some of them in a new book:
But wait...there's even more Moore. Now that Fahrenheit 9/11 is out on DVD and VHS, he's also come out with a matching book:
And still he finds time to travel the swing states, offering to do household chores or other favors for those who register to vote.
Speaking of which, if the deadline has passed where you live and you didn't get around to registering, then you just voted for Nader.

Michael Moore, you're No. 1 -- and under arrest?
Michael Moore's movie shot to No. 1 at Amazon.com yesterday on the first day of DVD and video sales, but meanwhile, the Republicans are trying to have him arrested for offering clean underwear and/or Ramen noodles to slackers who get off the couch and vote.

Who was he talking to?
During Thursday night's debate, the incumbent interrupted himself at one point, snapping, "Let me finish!" although no one was interrupting him, causing some to suggest that he was wearing an in-ear monitor, and that his brief outburst was addressed to the person or persons he could hear through that hypothetical monitor -- perhaps a staff member coaching him.
Since we recorded C-SPAN's coverage, we were able to go back and watch that odd moment again and again, with and without captions. Unfortunately the captions are just a tad behind the sound and picture, so this is what Mr. Bush looked like when he said, "Let me finish!"
By the time the caption appeared, Bush's expression had changed, but Kerry's hadn't:
As you can see in the first photo, the green light was on: Bush still had the yellow and red lights to go, followed by a backup buzzer, before moderator Jim Lehrer would have interrupted him. There is not a sound from Lehrer, Kerry, or anyone in the audience at that point, despite a Chicago Sun-Times story that included this erroneous sentence: " 'Let me finish,' Bush scolded Kerry at one point." As you can see here, as I could see from watching the debate and later the video, Kerry is silent and not even looking at Bush.
When I began Googling around to find references to this oddity, I discovered that "Let me finish!" is something Bush says a lot, at least around reporters. So it's not such an oddity after all, just a frequent occurrence. But it's still a mystery.
