" Permanent soundtrack to the last post of the week, from the blog&amp;#039;s second-favorite Canadian...)      Big news from the land of the gobshites: Bill Clinton will be all over the Sunday shows in advance of his big do-gooder conference (the blog will be there with the candidates on Tuesday), including an appearance with former Polk Administration congressional correspondent Bob Schieffer on Face The Nation. Schieffer has started to grow on me, basically because he&amp;#039;s not the Dancin&amp;#039; Master, but mostly because he occasionally affects the mien of the Old Guy Who&amp;#039;s Had Quite Enough Of Your Bunk, Young Man. Anyway, Clinton on TV is always good craic, as they say in the motherland, although Jill Biden may be turning into a serious contender. (Also, too: I will be talking about the Warren-Brown campaign with Chris Hayes Saturday morning on MSNBC in what we in the electric television business call the nine-o&amp;#039;clock hour. Expect a ruthless appraisal of my own gobshitery to come on Monday next.) Elsewhere, it was a big week in important science. First of all, there seems to be a monster in a lake in Siberia, at least according to prominent (and extremely be-furred) local scientists. (Frankly, the photo looks to me like a guy standing on top of a rock.) Of course, there could be a monster doing two shows a night at the Chuckle Hut in Siberia and nobody would know because it&amp;#039;s fking Siberia. Meanwhile, in this country, there&amp;#039;s a seminar opening about what They have been hiding about what They \u2014 not the They doing the hiding, but the They about whom the other They have been hiding it \u2014 have been up to on this island Earth. I have to admit. I&amp;#039;d forgotten that Jack Webb had done that alien Dragnet series. (&amp;quot;It was Monday, May 14. It was cool on Europa. I was working the day watch out of Vice. My partner&amp;#039;s name is Brfflytpdsk. My name&amp;#039;s Friday.&amp;quot;) Expect a lot of what Jack calls &amp;quot;that high strangeness&amp;quot; throughout the proceedings, I think. That Dragnet episode about the hopheads makes more sense as the years go by. If you&amp;#039;re tired of Roger Goodell&amp;#039;s ongoing conspiracy to commit consumer fraud, there some real football with real referees being contested at Croke Park in the motherland on Sunday morning. (Unfortunately. the Kingdom, having lost on a ghastly Goodellish call to the Dubs in last year&amp;#039;s final, is stuck in what looks to be a lengthy rebuilding process, and went out against Donegal back on August 5.) But Donegal and Mayo is an interesting match. Mayo hasn&amp;#039;t won an All Ireland since 1951, and Donegal&amp;#039;s only won once in its history. I&amp;#039;m with the men from the North simply because they beat Kerry. If they could lock up Bryan Sheehan, they can lock up the Mayomen. For my part, I&amp;#039;ll be watching Ray Lewis in a game with replacement referees on Sunday night. I expect a South Korean parliament to break out on the field. This Week In The Watergate Tapes, A 40th Anniversary Special (Thanks as always to the indefatigable Stanley Kutler): September, 24, 1972. NIXON: Where do they get these Yippies, Bob? They&amp;#039;re the same group that hit us in Santa Fe, isn&amp;#039;t it, the same kind? HALDEMAN: Yeah, same kind of people. They&amp;#039;re violent. They&amp;#039;re based in San Francisco. NIXON: Are they students? HALDEMAN: Mostly, non-students. They work the students. They use the students. They foment the students. NIXON: I mean, are they dopies? Anyway, have a good weekend and play nice, ya bastids, and I&amp;#039;ll be back on Monday with the usual gobshitery, including me. I can&amp;#039;t imagine anything that could possibly go wrong with this plan. And remember, when you vote for a Republican, baby Jesus cries, and people like Louie Gohmert get elected. The creation of a new Ottoman Empire. Mr. Schieffer Has Had Quite Enough Of Your Bunk, Young Man. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
