Maserati released the first official pictures of their upcoming Quattroporte sedan. As are most Italian cars, it's a true work of beauty. Now I just have to figure out how I could afford a car that'll likely cost upwards of $90,000.

Yahoo has selected Watchblog as one of its Yahoo! Picks for June 19, 2003. I am one of the editors for the Democratic blog on this site.

I've never had a site selected as a Yahoo! Picks before so this is pretty cool.

Roger Clemens, a longtime favorite of mine since seeing him pitch live at Fenway in 1986, won his 300th game, a feat matched by only 20 other pitchers. Clemens also recorded his 4000th strikeout in the game, making him only the 3rd pitcher to achieve that milestone. This will probably be the Rocket's last season -- Cooperstown awaits your arrival, although his place was already reserved. Congrats, Roger.

I have another home for the year and a half. I have signed on as one of the Democratic editors for WatchBlog, a blog covering the 2004 presidential election created by Cam Barrett of Camworld fame. I'll be there doing my part to promote the Democratic candidates and discuss the issues of importance in the upcoming election. With any luck, I can help do my part to get a Democrat back into the White House. I mean, the guy there now can't even ride a Segway without falling!

Chicago Cubs star Sammy Sosa was ejected for using a corked bat last night.

Sosa claimed in the post game press conference, "I just picked the wrong bat and went up there. I use that bat for batting practice. I take the blame. It's a mistake. My team picked me up tonight by winning the game.''

I'm thinking he's been making the same mistake since 1998.
