Soggy but Sluggy Day: The Cards game has been postponed because of the rain. The good news is that after three innings the Cardinals line up looked pretty darn good and Wainwright, after a some what shakey first inning, looked good too.
Royal pain in the ass: The Royals beat the Tigers in extra innings. I sure hope the Detroit bullpen is not going to screw the Tigers.

HAPPY OPENING DAY!!
I look around the law school and see half the students are wearing red so it must be opening day. Is there a greater day in the year? No.
This year, the two teams I pull for, the Cardinals and the Tigers, have opening day outlooks that are complete opposites of each other. Many of the the so-called experts have the Tigers in the World Series and the Cards in the cellar. I agree with the predictions when it comes to the Tigers but not with the Cardinals.
The Cardinals will take the field today understanding their underdog status and will play the season with a chip on their shoulder. Last year they had just won the World Series and were blindsided by health issues and the unfortunate death of Josh Hancock. The spent the whole year trying to stay afloat while they waited for their staff to get healthy, which never happened.
This year the Cardinals are coming off a losing season for the first time this century. The expectations seem to be low but the team is going to aim high. They have some fresh faces that will fight to stay in the bigs and some pop in the bat with Pujols, Glaus, Ankiel, and great arms in Wainwright, Lohse, Isringhausen, and soon Clement, Mulder, and Carpenter.
I know I may be dreaming but it is opening day at that is what it is all about today.
Gates open at 1:15 P.M.; Clydesdales at 2:30 P.M.; First Pitch at 3:15 P.M.

Erin Go Surfin'
$10 says it started off as a bet. I don't know much about surfing. I only know Laird Hamilton from American Express ads, have not seen Endless Summer, the only wet suit I have worn had a tie and a broken umbrella was involved, and I thought the only boarding taking place on the Emerald Isle involved nuns at a Catholic grade school. I guess I was wrong.
When the going gets tough, the tough get....
And now time for some propaganda: If you are a Michigan fan that has been living under a rock you may have missed this. For those Maize and Blue faithful that don't live under rocks, the news of Justin Boren leaving Michigan has already come across you desks. I, being the insider that brings all you readers to this blog everyday, have no information except for what has been report but here is what I think about it: Big F'ing Deal. If you don't want to play for Michigan you should not play for Michigan. Boren being gone is not going to cost us one game but him being there and thinking he should be somewhere else might.
Boren said that part of the reason why he is leaving is that he was not getting the support he needed from the new coaching staff. The coaches are not there to support you. They are there to tell you how much you suck and to give you pointers on how to suck less. Coaches are only allowed to tell you that you may not have actually sucked as much as they said you did after you have graduated. He also implied the mutual respect and family atmosphere that existed under Coach Carr is gone. How can someone earn respect when they quit after a couple of months of practice? Boren, Mitchell, Ciulla, Mallet, and any other player that decides to quit can go ahead and pack their bags without any sympathy from me.
Many of you out there are probably thinking I am a moron. Boren was the best offensive lineman we had and was the one with the most experience of course Michigan would be better off with him. If you think that then eat me because I don't care. I would reather have a full line that is all on the same page than having a line that is fractured because some of them would rather be somewhere else. Bo had a sign made when he came to Michigan in 1969 that said that "Those who stay will be Champions." Nobody expected that Michigan team to do anything that year especially with perhaps the most talented Ohio State team ever assembled waiting for them but in the end it the players that did stay were champions. The defied the odds, beat the Buckeyes and won the Big Ten.
This year people are saying that Michigan will be lucky to win 8 games and are not even ranked in many pre-season polls. To be sure this year's schedule is tough with games at Notre Dame, at Penn State, at Ohio State and back to back games against tough Wisconsin and Illinois teams early in the season but here is what I know, Michigan is going to be ready. If players think practice is tough now, just want until the two a days in the middle of the summer. Just wait until they actually have a decent understanding of the new system and are forced to push their physical and mental limits beyond what they thought possible. Losing to Appalacian State, Oregon, Wisconsin, and Ohio State (all but Wisconsin at home) should be motivation enough but with the new coaching staff everyone is also fighting for a job, fighting for a scholarship, and fighting to prove that they have what it takes to be the best. If someone is not willing to do what it takes, then I say the bus schedule is posted in the Union, goodbye. But that is just me and I am trying to avoid doing homework right now so what do I know?

Spring Break is Over
Since I am back in my normal routine I will start posting again this week. I am sorry I never posted last week. I had brillant ideas but had no time or motivation to actually post. Also I doubt the movie thing will ever really happen but we'll just have to wait to see.

Kwame is Still King
For background of this post please see this. (I am well aware Wikipedia is probably the least reliable source for anything but deal with it. If you want something better try the website of the Detroit New or Free Press--although rocks of journalistic integrity, they are not.)
Are you up-to-date? Okay Good.
Last night in the annual State of the City Address, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick concluded his speech with this: [Link to story and video.]
The challenge for all of us in public office is to rise above our differences -- to rise above our human frailties – and maintain our focus on working together to move this city forward. Ralph Waldo Emerson said big jobs usually go to the people who prove their ability to outgrow small ones.
And finally tonight, and this may be the most talked about part of the speech after laying out all of that. But I feel that I cannot leave this auditorium with my wife and my sons sitting there without addressing this issue.In the past 30 days, I've been called a n----- more than any time in my entire life. In the past three days I have received more death threats than I have in my entire administration. I've heard these words before, but I've never heard people say them about my wife and children. I don't believe that a Nielsen rating is worth the life of my children or your children.This unethical, illegal lynch-mob mentality has to stop. And it's seriously time.
We've never been here before. And I don't care if they cut the TV off. We've never been in a situation like this before where you can say anything, do anything, have no facts, no research, no nothin and you can launch a hate-driven, bigoted assault on a family.
I humbly ask members of council. I humbly ask the business community. I humbly ask the religious community. I humbly ask the brothers and sisters of the city of Detroit. I humbly ask that we say no more together. I humbly ask that we say no more together.
I love this city with every part of my being and I will continue to stay focused on building the next Detroit. God bless you. Detroit, I love you.
Excuse me while I pick my jaw off the ground. I'm sorry but I don't think I have ever seen such a display of unfettered incongruousness in my entire life.
Let me start by saying that is is absolutely intolerable to send anyone death threats or racial slurs and that anyone that did so is not justified in any way. The people that are sending those e-mails should be tracked down and dealth with accordingly.
That being said COME ON KWAME! You are not the victim in this situation and there is absolutely no way to frame it where a reasonable person would characterize you as such.
Kilpatrick first speaks on the need to come together and stop fighting when he is the one that started the entire mess by having the stripper party at Manoonigan Mansion and then firing everyone that knew about it and would talk. I guess coming together also does not mean dodging city council review when it is time for your wife to get a new car or when you need to retain lawyers and decide to use public funds to pay for it.
Kwame spoke of needing to raise of above human frailities. I guess this doesn't include assaulting members of the press, stealing public funds, or sleeping around on your wife and family. No Kwame you are right, it is our fault to think you should be held to some kind of standard; what were we thinking.
And then the mayor had the audacity to say this: "We've never been in a situation like this before. Where you can say anything, do anything, have no facts, no research, no nothing and you can launch a hate-driven bigoted assault on a family."
You are right Mr. Mayor you are the first person that has ever had to deal with lies that someone completely made up and used to persecute someone. I guess the Salem witch trials, baseless accusations of African-Americans raping Southern women, Native American lead massacres, the McCarthy lead Red-Scare, and the like completely grounded in facts and were totally justified. (If you can't tell I am being sarcastic you should because I am laying it on pretty thick.) I love this country and am extremely proud of all the good that America has done, but you cannot possibly think that you are the first victim of hate or that this is unique to your situation.
Here's the rub though, Mr. Mayor: The people against you are not driven by hate and are not lying. According to at least two trial courts and at least two courts of appeals, the people that had "no facts," did "no research," and "no nothing[?]" were telling the truth, had done research, had gathered the facts, and did not have "nothing." These people were substantially rewarded to the tune of over $8 million. But what do the courts know? The city of Detroit is on the hook for this settlment even though it is completely your responsibility. I am shocked that you are still allowed in public buildings let alone allowed to literally run the city in its most powerful office.
You were right in your speech. The city does have more important things to do than deal with your shenanigans but they aren't doing that, are they. Instead they are being forced to handle the situation you have created and in the meantime the city continues to tread in increasingly choppy waters.
Okay I am almost done venting but before I leave let me say this: The media is not your enemy, you are. The sooner you realize that the better you will be. For some mystery you are an extremely popular mayor in the eyes of the average Detroit citizen. Instead of using this popularity to get important tasks accomplished (i.e. improving infrastructure, stomping out crime, improving city schools, etc.) you thought your popularity sheilded you from accountability. You thought, "everyone loves me so I can do whatever the hell I want." This mentality lead you to think having strippers in the mayor's mansion was okay, that it was okay if you used the city's money to pay for your wife's car, and that it was okay to cheat on your wife with your chief of staff. I mean what could possibly happen? You are loved by the city.
If you had just admitted to the party it would have gone away faster than you can say "Hugh Grant." The public is amazingly forgiving to people that admit to wrong doing. Just look at how differently Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens, and Barry Bonds are being treated when compared to Andy Pettitte and Jose Conseco. It is not the initial wrong doing that pisses people off, it is the cover up. People understand single bad acts because most people have been in similar situations and can relate but they absolutely cannot stand being lied to. If you are honest with the people, most will accept it and move on.
This applies to the media as well. If Bill Clinton had just come out right away and admitted to the Lewinsky thing the media would have covered it for a little bit and then moved on to other news. If Nixon hadn't tried to cover up the Watergate break in, he probably still would have won the election in 1972 but would not have needed to resign in disgrace. Woodward, Bernstein, and Deep Throat became household names because of the cover up, not the break in. The break in would have been a story for a week or month tops and then the newspapers would have moved on to other things. The media loves to dig around and find dirt. If your dirt is already out for everyone to see they have nothing to report. Notice how quickly the Lewinsky thing was out of the news once Clinton admitted to everything.
Okay I am done but I want to know what you, the internet viewers, think. Post a comment and if I like you could win a prize.*
P.S. Michigan starts the Big Ten Tournament tomorrow. Automatic Bid or Bust!!
*Prize will not include anything that is tangible, valuable, real, or anything else.

President Cockrel, we have much more serious issues affecting the future of this city than whether we’re going to attend a speech. I love you [Cockrel] and I love what you've done for our city. At this moment in our history, we must turn to each other, and not on each other.

Snip, Snip = March Madness
Umm...I really want to watch all the games and get free pizza but I don't think this is the way to go about it...unless Michigan was somehow selected.
Wolverines Wow World
This should not be a shock. With over 420,000 living alumni worldwide, Wolverines can be found in any region and all climates around the globe. Here is another story about a popular Wolverine in the news. Here is yet another popular Wolverine that can help you. I would go on but I should get back to reading Trust and Estates. Hooray law school!
PS. I beat the hell out of everyone bowling this weekend. This includes my better half who I had never beaten before but will now never lose to because I am in her head. VICTORY!

Dems Delegates Damned
Even if you have been living under a rock you are aware that 2008 is an election year and unless the rock you have been living under was also living under another larger rock you also realize that while the Republican ticket has been decided the Democratic Party just can’t make up their mind between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. This week Clinton stopped Obama’s win streak by winning 3 out of 4 contests including the very important Texas and Ohio. Today the AP has a report out that neither Clinton nor Obama can mathematically win the nomination without the help of the so-called “super-delegates.” This means that Obama could win every remaining primary and still lose to Clinton if the super-delegates go her way. I am not a political scientist but this seems a little bit hinky to me. I also find it funny that the Democrats decided to punish Michigan and Florida but now that they matter Clinton is attempting to re-enfranchise the dis-enfranchised which, of course, will lead to counterclaims of re-disenfranchisement to those Floridians and Michiganders who didn’t vote in their primary because they knew their votes wouldn’t count. (Makes sense, huh.) The Republican Party, and John McCain in particular, on the other hand, is sitting back enjoying the show. While the Democrats will continue in-fighting all of the way to the DNC in Denver, McCain won the nomination in large part because of the many winner-take-all primaries employed by the Republicans and gets to raise money non-stop and start mounting a strategy against the eventual Democratic nominee. At the start of the year it was pretty much a given that the next president would be a Democrat but thanks to the Democrats themselves and their chosen primary system, this outcome is starting to get a little bit murky.
Look at that, I wrote about a political topic and you have no idea if I am a Republican or a Democrat.

New Blog Feature
Yesterday marked the first ever "Bubba Tunes' Song of the Day." I thought that since this blog is named after a colloquialism for music there should be something somewhat music related in the blog. As many of you may or may not know, I am not exactly hip to the scene anymore—law school, married life, and Miley Cyrus have all made caring about popular music very difficult—so I am not really a source for cutting edge music news and opinion. Instead, I plan on telling you what song comes up first on my iPod that day. Yesterday I hit shuffle and “Love is Strong” by the Stones came up, today it was “Strapped for Cash” by Fountains of Wayne. While I cannot promise the most up-to-date selections, I can guarantee that all songs that make the list will come with the Bubba Tunes Stamp of Approval so you should feel comfortable purchasing the songs for your own listening pleasure. (I would have embedded links so you could actually listen to the songs on your computer but I am lame and don’t know how to do that.)
Giving “I got a birdie” a whole new meaning in golf: Apparently Florida frowns on golfers from shooting birdies on the golf course. I guess this was actually pretty bad since he actively and repeatedly went after the bird with his shots. Back in the day I once hit a goose in the head with an approach shot but I wasn’t aiming for the damn thing. This is almost as bad as trying to hit a squirrel with a football. If you ever did that you would be a real major league a-hole.

My wife will soon be on Westlaw
Okay so I like to pretend I am a writer of sorts. I have this kick-ass blog and have written well over dozens of first chapters to great American novels but my wife has beat me to publication. She wrote a note for her law school's journal and it was selected for publication. I always thought that it would be me that would be published first but apparently to be published you must actually be a good writer. I will have to work on that. Seriously though congrats to my better half. When she gets her first book deal I plan to play a lot of golf.
And for all you Slapshot fans. Thanks to Eric Nystrom for the visuals (he actually did a very good reproduction of the original) and Brian from MGoBlog for the link.

Happy Trails, Brett!
Adios to Brett Favre, who has announced his retirement from the NFL today. Favre packs it up after throwing 5,377 carrer completions in 8,758 attempts for 61,655 yards, 442 touchdowns and 288 interceptions. He also has a Super Bowl ring and a life time membership in the Green Bay Men's Auxillary Club. He is a shoe-in for the Hall of Fame but his legacy will be tarnished because he never beat me, my brother, and Kurt Warner in backyard football.

Has it been 19 years already?
In case you have missed it, I give you Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. After this and Rambo all we need is a new Jaws movie and a Genesis reunion and it will be like the 1980s never left.
