Are you ready for some linkage? I put in some hefty ones, to make up for last week’s hiatus (woop-woop-woop!). Also, because my brain was going to shut off if I listened to any more of the VP debate. Just click more!

Sports Guy has an epic (like, 9,000-word) piece on Manny Ramirez’ trade from the Red Sox . I think he uses footnotes as a tribute to David Foster Wallace. Or maybe its exorbitant length was the DFW tribute. Anyway, give it a read .

Set in Baltimore, it is a police drama like no other. Unique in it’s realism, slow plot, attention to detail and focus on urban life and the problems associated with it, The Wire may be the greatest TV show ever made.
On Thursday Lottie picked up Season 4, the penultimate season and we finished that yesterday. So, naturally, I had no choice but to run down to Xtra-Vision to pick up the final season.... more

I was disappointed that they didn’t have a Tim Roth action figure, so I could dress him in a miniature leather coat like in Little Odessa .
Luckily, I noticed that they had the next best thing: Mega Clap Hulk .
That text on the bottom left reads, “PRESS BUTTON FOR THE MEGA CLAP ATTACK!”, so maybe he goes whoring around behind Betty Ross’ back in the new movie.

As a buildup to the vote, the Wall Street Journal ran an epic three-part article ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) chronicling the sudden collapse of BS. I know most of you aren’t as interested in the machinations of business and finance as I am, but I think Kate Kelly tells a pretty amazing story, not least because it supports my thesis that Miller’s Crossing can be used to explain almost anything.
