In Detroit? It's a sports bar.

]]> <![CDATA[A Q&A With Sen. Chris Dodd]]> @a single mother with a penis: I've never been big on the Hockeytown marketing theme, especially since it began as "Hockeytown, U.S.A." which Iwas more OK with (though I am sure Minnesota was pissed off). Massachusetts, Minnesota, upstate New York, and Michigan are the heart of hockey in America, there's no one particular town.

And yet, here we are 12 years later and they haven't changed the marketing.

+1 for the P Roy Reference

-1 The Hawks have won 0 Cups since 1961
-1 The Maple Laffs have won 4 Cups since 1961
-3 -1 each for reminding us of the number of Cups Detroit has won since 1961. Hockeytown, my ass.

There is only one Hockeytown and it sure the hell isn't in the US.

Chris Dodd: Why did you shout some answers to a few key-note questions during the latest Democratic debate? Was it a trick to get attention The heat of the momment? A come-and-go sort of thing? Or something else?

Beyond that, could you apologize to the American public for doing so and never try that trick again? I saw that, and it upset me that a man of your stature would try to gain prestige, of some sort, by trying this tactic.
