Kelso finds himself a little cranky today. Played in a home game last night at the "Striver's Row"-adjacent home of the young fellow who cursed out crack Tissue Of Lies cityside reporter Jennifer 8. Lee following the raid on the Playstation Poker Club. Kelso did fine with the cards, but started feeling his age a bit, when his host's amour arrived and began eating pizza with extreme gusto. At Kelso's age, pocket 4's, most of the women he associates with are into yogurt, organic food, wheat-grass juice, and eat like fucking birds. So, naturally Kelso feels like a terrible libertine when he goes to a restaurant and orders a double Jameson's, a hearty appetizer, an end-cut prime rib, a salad and maybe has another double Jameson's. Ab crunches are also not a part of the Kelso plan.

Also, nothing seems to be working on the downs today -- the horses, that is.

Kelso has found a blog he likes, dcmediagirl.com, but, once again, he finds the Blogger linking apparatus very cumbersome and unwieldy. At any rate, check her out.

We continue with yesterday's theme of New York State politics and turn our attention to the pending Hillary Clinton/Janine Pirro race for Senate in 2006. According to yesterday's Tissue Of Lies, it's going to be a $30 million race and the Republican Party plans to throw a bunch of money at Pirro. From everything Kelso has read about Pirro, about the only good thing she's ever done was oppose the ban on late-term abortions and you all know that Kelso has very strong opinions on this subject. Pirro, following the Karl Rove SSScript has, of course, flip-flopped on that. Kelso, however, is not about ideology. He's a left-libertarian and couldn't give a rat's ass for either Clinton or Pirro -- they're both pretty horrible.

Kelso is a betting man, however, and is starting to smell money. Clinton/Lazio was an abouslute GIFT at 5/8 for Clinton. This race is starting to shape up the same way. Expect the tabloids to stoke up the fires of ethinic pride for the Howard Beach/Broad Channel boys (although Pirro herself is of Lebanese, not Italian, descent). There will be the usual bullshit Giuliani endorsement replete with his ugly palaver about how 9/11 was Bill Clinton's fault and Hillary's soft on crime. Yawn. [Kelso promises to go off on St. Rudy, but that's for another time.] They're going to make a race of this, and it sez right here on Kelsosnuts.blogspot.com that Clinton will blow Pirro apart. Hillary is the absolute STONE COLD NUTS in this and anything 1/2 and north in the betting is another gift. Hillary by 12 points, easy.

Some more reasons Kelso is feeling cranky: his favorite neighborhood watering hole is closing on Friday to be replaced no doubt by a Starbucks or a Duane Reade. It was a cool place where you could get delicious Alsatian food and talk horses and sports and stayed open late. And the fucking LAAOA beat Oakland in Oakland last night giving Harden a pounding. Urgh.

Kelso's Nuts love you very much, though.
