Poet laureate of the Kings

So Peja had his baby and this is what he had to say:

Stojakovic said from Salonika, Greece. "I can see already how everything means nothing once you have a child."

So his life has lost all meaning now that he's had a baby? That's really sad. That's kind of how I feel about having children, but I didn't know that anyone shared this opinion.

It's funny, too, that Peja is all peeved that the Maloofs have commented in the press about Niki Hilton's wedding at their casino but they won't return his calls about the trade. They're not gonna trade you, Peja. Give it up!

Man, I wish I would have been at the city council meeting last night to hear them dissing Mayor Fargo's plan for a retreat on friday to "facilitate communication". It sounds like everyone was bagging on her for being too new agey. Maybe they can get that guy that was in the Metallica movie to help the council get along.

Oh my God! Heather just pointed out that Soriano is in the new R.E. Graswich column. This is unbelievably awesome! Scott's pointing out how a lot of the people that want the arena downtown don't even live downtown. That's just like the guy I got in the argument with at the meeting that when I asked "do you live downtown" he stammered "uh, I live in the greater Sacramento area". I wonder where that fucking little putz Grant Napier lives. He was making me so mad when he talking on the radio about the arena that I had to turn it off. He was explaining with some made up Limbaugh-style "facts" how the money for the arena doesn't mean there is less money for other things in the city budget. Unless the city council is printing that money in the basement of city hall, that is just not true. I hate that argument! People say it really convincingly in a way that makes it seem like you, silly little citizen, just don't understand economics and budgets, but that' s bullshit! The article in the Bee that said that the same tax that they want to put towards the arena was going to be used by the County to finance parks and police shows that that's not true.
